FIRESIDE & TEACHING CHRIS

Hello!

We started teaching Chris this week! A member of the Chapel Hill 2nd Ward was roommates with Chris, and started telling him about the Church. Chris was and is very interested in investigating. He was really eager to learn about the history of the Church, like how the succession from Joseph Smith to Brigham Young took place.

He had been attending the Chapel Hill 2nd Ward for about a month with Elder King and Elder Cardinet, and noticed how noisy sacrament meetings can get with all of the children. Someone said there’s about sixty infants 18 months and younger! Chris even asked us why they don’t have a separate sacrament room for them.

He came with us to the Singles Ward yesterday and really enjoyed it. The ward was very, very friendly with him and a lot of people came up and introduced themselves to him. He kept telling Elder King and Cardinet how much he liked the Singles Ward. It doesn’t hurt that most of the members are girls his age.

President Yates is a counselor to President Wallis, our Mission President. He had a fireside at his home last night for recent converts and missionaries. Cayce, Kristen and Maria came and all three of them bore their testimonies. It was so powerful! The three of them have all felt a lot of family pressure in their decisions to be baptized. Kristen was baptized about two years ago, Cayce was baptized about 2 months ago, and Maria has a very sincere desire to be baptized. There was a lady at the fireside who is investigating with her LDS fiancée. She really enjoyed Kristen, Cayce and Maria’s testimonies. It is so amazing to see the three of them together, supporting each other and others with their faithful examples.

Thanks for your prayers and letters!

I will try to respond sooner!
