So there wasn't a whole lot that happened this past week here in Mustang. There wasn't a whole lot of progress made here over the past week. We have to reschedule the one baptismal date that we had because our investigator didn't come to church yesterday. We also weren't able to visit very many of our investigators. We are working through all of this and we are trying to move forward and doing our best to find new people to teach every day.
So switching over to the good news for the week, we were able to see one of our investigators twice this past week. We had two lessons with Brother Oakley this past week and they both went pretty well. The first time we saw him we were on exchanges so I wasn't actually there, but from what I heard the lesson went pretty well. Elder Davis and Elder Bolan talked about the Word of Wisdom with them. It turns out that Brother Oakley has been living the Word of Wisdom for a couple of years now. That came as quite a shock to Elder Davis and I. The other time we saw hims this week was yesterday evening. We had planned on teaching him about following the prophet then inviting them to watch General Conference, but Brother Oakley had questions about the Law of Tithing so we taught them about that instead. At the end of the lesson Sister Oakley asked us what you should do if you weren't sure about whether or not to pay your tithing. Brother Oakley jumped in and said that you should just pay your tithing and not even question whether or not your going to pay it. So that turned out to be a really good lesson and Brother Oakley understood why it was important to pay tithing. So Elder Davis and I were both really excited about that.
So last Wednesday I got to go on an exchange with Elder Garner. It was a pretty fun exchange and I got to know him quite a bit better. We did so much walking that by the end of the day I don't think that I could have walked anymore even if I had wanted to. Ok that isn't necessarily true, but we did do a lot of walking. We had a pretty good day while we were out on exchanges. We were able to go and visit one of their recent converts.
Friday I was on exchanges again. This time it was with our Zone Leaders though. Elder Edmunds came down here to Mustang with me for the day. In case you were wondering, yes Elder Edmunds did serve up in Edmond for part of his mission. We had a pretty good day here. We found a couple of potential investigators that we are going to start to work with. We tried to visit one of the new potentials on Saturday evening and all she did was talk our ear off. We were there for and hour and a half and I think I only said a total of 10 words. She would not let us talk. It was kinda funny though. It made for a funny story. On the drive back to our apartment the member who was out with us just sat there and laughed at what happened. He got a kick out of our visit.
Well that is about all for this week. I hope that you all have a great week! I love you all!
Love Elder Cameron Woodward
