Elder Aaron S. Baxter LDS Mission : Who said missionary work couldn´t be fun sometimes?‏

This week was kicked off with a split with my district leader. While we were out talking to people, we wandered over to the cemetery where a light show was going on. We were talking to a lady who was very friendly and interested in meeting with missionaries, and then without us saying anything, she bought us tickets to the light show that was going on! It was very kind of her to do, and my district leader and I had a lot of fun with it.

Throughout the week, we met with some investigators, made brownies for a member, and visited a few part member families, who were all very friendly. We met with our homeless investigator a few times throughout the week, it has gotten to the point where he actually calls us to meet now because he wants to talk with us! I was hoping we would be able to invite him to baptism this week, but it never happened, and I am dying now to just ask him! At one point he was teaching his friend about the Book of Mormon and testifying to the guy, he has a rock solid testimony of the Book of Mormon. He also came to church this week in his suit, which surprised all of the members.

Another highlight in church was the member we have been working a lot with receiving the Aaronic Priesthood. It was such a great moment, and later in church he got to pass the sacrament. It was so cool to see!

It was pretty cool week, and I feel privileged to have been a part of everything that happened. I absolutely love it when we see others progressing, the feeling you get from it is so fulfilling!
