Training New Missionary



Elder Holt is being transferred to Lebanon to be a District Leader out there. He’s going to do really good at that. I’ll be training a new missionary so I will get him from Newberg on Thursday. It will be good. 
  
The Book of Mormon study class is going really well! We had almost twice as many people there this week and it was really successful. A lot of investigators came and they really enjoyed it. We are excited to keep doing that moving forward. 

The week here was good. I don’t have a ton of time to write today because we are busy packing up Elder Holt and everything. But the week went great. We met a really cool guy named Jason. He has battled some mental health issues for a lot of his life, so that has kept him from progressing much spiritually. On the day of our lesson, we talked to him on the phone to confirm and he didn’t want to meet any more because he read the intro to the Book of Mormon and didn’t really think it was for him. Elder Holt did a great job of talking to him and allowing the Spirit to work with him and eventually Jason reschedule for the next day. At that lesson, we realized how prepared Jason was! He told us that he wanted a moral compass for his life and he wanted to quit smoking and drinking coffee! At that lesson, we talked about baptism and he accepted the invitation to be baptized! Then in the next lesson he said, “So essentially in Mormonism you believe that your church is Christ’s original church?” That was pretty cool to hear! He’s probably the fastest I have seen someone understand that principle. He came to church on Sunday and had a good time. We had another investigator there on Sunday as well for the first time and he really enjoyed it too. It’s been fun here with Elder Holt!
