LDS means Let's Do Something

Well this week there wasn't a whole lot of stuff that happened. The big thing I can think of is something that happened with one of our investigators. He was on baptismal date for this last weekend, but we knew it was too soon for him so we were going to try and reset it. But we went to the lesson with him and he told us that he hadn't read the Book of Mormon that we had asked him to, so we decided to read it together. After we read the chapter that we had assigned him he told us that it seemed like he was reading a fairy tale. So he is no longer on date to get baptized, but we encouraged him to really read and pray to find truth, and to see if what we had taught him was true. Basically we all ended up bearing our testimony on the Book of Mormon, and hoping that he would read for himself and set an appointment with him for this week. Hopefully he has read a little more and is thinking a little more and making it to the point that he knows for himself. So that was a little rough, but the week goes on, and there were some good things. One of our other investigators has no Christian background at all, so we are trying to give her some basics before we get into it too much. And we had the chance to just read some of the Book of Mormon with her yesterday, and she seemed to believe that what it was saying is true. It is really cool because she is a Native American, and her stories from the tribe and stuff relate a little bit to the Book of Mormon. Her son has a copy of the children's Book of Mormon, and he really enjoys reading it.
It has started to get a lot colder, and I have started to wear a jacket or sweater almost every day. The high is usually in the 40's, but it doesn't seem too bad yet, winter is going to be really cold. I think sometimes the members and people exaggerate it to make us scared, but then sometimes I think it is really that cold... So I don't know for sure.
But two cool things that happened yesterday at church. One, there was a musical number done by the women of the choir and 3 little primary girls. They sang a combination of I feel my Saviors love, and I know that my Redeemer lives. It was awesome. And number 2, we have to act and do our part first, and then the Savior can help us. So LDS, means Lets Do Something. Our third hour was combined for a 5th Sunday, and that was the message that one of the members taught. I thought it was pretty cool!
Hope you all have a great week, Love you all!
