Hey Family! Things are really
going great. When I first got into this area, I came with a
brand new greenie, and we had nothing. This is the end of my
second transfer here in Lipetsk, and I just had my most successful
week in my entire mission last week!! It's on FIRE here!!!
We just set a baptismal date with someone, we have another guy with
whom we also want to set a baptismal date with, the members love us,
and we are just really doing well.
Well, we were in a lesson on a park bench with our investigator A, teaching the word of wisdom, with a great member on the lesson. Then our member gets a call in the middle of the lesson, and tells me that it's our friend M, and that he was going to go get him and come back. Uh oh. M is one of our dropped investigators, (with whom we've still been in contact with now and again to be his friend), who only likes to argue with us when we talked about the gospel. The member and M had become pretty good friends fairly quickly, but now he was coming back with M to participate in our lesson! We tried to do what we could do wrap up the lesson quick, but A had a lot of questions and concerns that we had to address. Then comes M with our member friend. And then, A and M shake hands and start talking like they're old buddies!! Turns out that they had worked together for a long time a while ago. Then M says he doesn't want to bother our discussion and leaves!! We finish our lesson, and commit A to being baptized. We were sure M would come over and just want to start arguing with us during our lesson, and really create a bad impression with our investigator there. But it worked out just absolutely perfectly.
