This week has been a rush of hard work and just a nail-biter. We've been working really hard to
get all 8 (that's right, EIGHT) ready for baptism on Saturday, and Satan isn't going to let them just
slide in and out of the waters of baptism. But, we're working hard and they're all going strong.
Turns out, one of them did have an abortion, but she was able to get that cleared up with the
Mission President. Another person had a homosexual relationship, so now he needs to talk to
President Mains also. But it'll be cleared up. They're all caught up now, and so they will be getting
their record sheets as members filled out at a lesson tonight, prepped on Thursday, Saturday is
the baptism and Sunday is the confirmation! It'll be hebat! I'll send lots of pics.
And, about Transfers! I'm staying!!! I hoped to get a trainee, but apa boleh buat? It was either
move me and I get a trainee, and Ipoh is hard because Elder Steadman doesn't know the area
too well, and then also....
I AM GOING TO BE DISTRICT LEADER!!!!! So, that means I have one other person in my
district. Elder Steadman. But that's just because Ipoh is such a small place. So, yeah, I get to
stay for the baptisms! And then the Lord can take me wherever he wants to.
So, yesterday was a good day at church! 11 investigators came (75 people overall, which is
awesome considering that it was Father's Day!) By the way,
HAPPY FREAKIN' FATHER'S DAY!!!!!
So, pretty much, we were happy. Dad, what did you get for Father's Day? Speaking of gifts, I'm
going to try to send a package very soon, and Lauren, I sent you something special, you'll get it
in a week or so. I will seriously try to send a package, so we'll see!
W: He's a Chinese kid who only speaks Cantonese, so we need translators at every
lesson. He's progressed a lot though, he's reading and praying every night, and this week, his
family came to Church! It was a miracle, because his dad is a less-active who hasn't come to
church for a very long time! It was so good!
So last night we taught M, another investigator. She didn't come to church for some reason,
but I think that it was legit. Her husband, R, is a less-active, and last night, he said that he
would prepare himself to baptize her on August 3rd, so he's coming back! YES!
Then we got a new family who we are going to see on Wednesday. D (another Indian
woman) her husband, and her children. They are Hindi I think but they accepted a return
appointment even on the door contact so I think that it will all be good. We were able to get more
work done because we're finally back on bikes and we're not relying on members for rides
anymore.
S is good, but she has trouble accepting new doctrine. She used to go to the Pentecost
church until they kinda rejected her family, so she studies by herself and she has read the Bible
like 5 times through. I also am reading the Old Testament, and in the first three chapters of
Genesis, I saw these things: Sealing and Marriage, creating of spiritual things before physical
things, PROOF of the Godhead like 4 times (because God is perfect, and he isn't insane,
so he wouldn't talk to himself), Priesthood responsibility, Patriarchal order, and like a ton of
other things. The Bible is awesome, so you should try to read the Quad (as a family or
individually) before I get home. You have about 15 1/2 months, so try it out!
Well, nothing too much other than that.
Love you all,
Selamat harian,
Elder Joshua H. Griffin
