Something Else!

This week has been something else! Elder Calvert and I have been all over the place. Fortunately, we are no longer a maid service, with all the apartments finally being cleaned. We have just been blessed abundantly with people to share this Gospel with. The Savior is really strengthening our own testimonies as we invite others to gain one for themselves. Some updates on some people! Especially Bridget!

Bridget's baptism went flawlessly! It was a blessing for me to be an instrument in the Lord's hand in baptizing her. Elder Calvert felt the same way as he was able to confirm her. She had 13 non-member friends at her baptism. It was great. She already has her temple recommend and will be ready to do baptisms for the dead August 13th. It'll be great. She is going to help so many other people come unto the true church of Christ. She inspires me to be bolder in sharing the Gospel.

Frank Tower is the man! 76 years old and has a sharp attitude and a witty mind. He's always trying "to pick a fight". I think I might have said this before but his classic lines are – as he throws his left fist up -- "This one will put you in the hospital.” Then he throws up his right fist and says, "This one will put you in the grave." We don't know how much he understands but we do know he has been changed through prayer and scripture study. He's already in the book of Enos! He’s received an answer every time he’s had a question. Frank has a very childlike attitude. He want's to talk to you, Dad and Mom! I'm giving him our home phone. That will be one interesting phone call.

Teaching Caroline Trainor the Gospel has by far been one of my most enjoyable experiences. She is awesome. She read Alma 30 this past week and wrote down some notes! We're excited to see what she’s got. We are practicing the principles that President Christensen taught in his “Power of the Everyday Missionary” book. We've seen great success with this. As well as it has pushed Elder Calvert and me to study our scriptures more. She has some questions that we know the answers to, but we don't know where to find them in the scriptures. 

We have been blessed with teaching the Bulaya Family! Korlu (the wife) is from Libya and Paul (the husband) is from Zambia in Africa. Paul wanted a Bible and we were able to meet up with them and began teaching them. They have two of the most adorable children. Naomi is 4 and PJ is 2. PJ belongs on a Pampers commercial. That kid is too darn cute. You can't tell me he's not adorable when he wears a onesie that says "Captain Adorable." You just can't beat that!

Got to split! Elder Calvert and I are going to Cambridge to dip the ball with some missionaries and ward members! This week has been a constant reminder for me to enjoy the precious time I have to minister unto others. It's important we take moments to reflect on how important this message is and why we need to believe it in order to teach it to others. 

Have a great week everyone!

Elder Tait.
