So this has been another great week here in Coquitlam! The ball is starting to roll here which is even better!
I guess starting off with the highlight of the week would be best. So, we have been working really hard with this man named Matthew for the past couple months. He has skyrocketed in his progression, making friends that become family in the ward. Well, in sacrament meeting this past week he got up and blessed it with his home teacher again! Not to mention what happened after! We were waiting for him to come to gospel principle because he was in a meeting with the bishop. Well he sits right next to us right after his interview and flashes out his new temple recommend! I almost fell out of my chair! The members have seen a new joy and light in this guy and he has absorbed the light of Christ into his life! God is just so good! He has been working hard to get that and to see him at this point in his life is just so good!
We were also able to see one of our investigators progressing well! He has not come to church yet but he has gotten through some of the Book of Mormon with him. He has some disabilities but that has not hindered his progress! We were able to teach him the Restoration thoroughly but slowly this past week, and he really understood the pattern of apostasy. Once he understood that he looked at us and said, "Well I guess I better get baptized then."
Well, let’s see, what else? We had a great district meeting. We are calling it game day from now on which makes it fun! Really gets us pumped up for the week! All in all it was just such a good week! It was hard, it was hot, but it was worth it.
Sure love and miss you all!
Love
