Igor's Baptism



Igor's Baptism

 

 

Dear Family!

Well this has been a pretty great week! The weather has been really weird, it was warm and then it was cold, then stayed cold the rest of the week. We have had some great lessons this week so that's what I'm going to talk about today!

We had the opportunity to have another lesson with Eric. We were going to have a lesson with him at a members, then the member had a medical emergency so he had to cancel. Brother Lewis saved the day and let us have it at his home. We invited him to extend the commitment and he said today in church that it rekindled his missionary fire and is excited for more. We invited Eric to be baptized, he was very hesitant and after some discussion accepted a date in May.

Our next appointment was with Kareen, we haven't been able to meet with her in a long time, but she was able to meet this week! We invited Sister Clawson and she killed it in the lesson. Their inner moms came out and they bonded very well, she invited Kareen's daughter to go to mutual and even offered to take her to and from. It was a stellar lesson. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and she helped apply it to Kareen.

We have been meeting with a less active who has cancer and wants our help to stop smoking. We aren't really sure how to help him exactly, but we are asking the lord and are doing it by faith! We met with his twice this week, he doesn't have much desire at this moment to come to church, but he has potential to in the future. He is very sincere about this desire so we are doing what we can to help him!

Those are the highlights of the week as far as lessons go...

But I don't know how much you remember about Igor, he lived in Derwood up until about February when he moved down to White Oak Ward. We taught him a bunch before he moved, but anyway, he got baptized on Sunday! We were able to go down and participate in that with him which was an amazing experience. He considers all of us his "American Brothers" and has a great attitude about this covenant he made.

We had someone come to church today that we never had met, he was there with a couple of his friends who are members but live up in Frederick. They put in his address to Mormon.org and our building was his area so they went with him! He is pretty excited to meet with us and we are excited to see what this excitement is from. 

I think that's completes everything I have to say, we did go to the farm and I got to interview someone for baptism which was a really neat experience. I hope everyone has had a great week!

Love,

Elder Bentley
