Hey guys, It’s been a few weeks since I last wrote so sorry
about that. Time is passing super-fast and we’re working hard. We’ve had some
sad setbacks with some investigators, but also daily miracles so there aren’t
any complaints from our part. I remember a week or so back we were lined up to
take lots of investigators to the Sunday morning session of stake conference.
The Saturday session of stake conference was easily my favorite session of any
stake conference of my whole mission. All the talks were spiritual and personal
and I think everyone left that meeting full of hope and strengthened faith in
Christ. My companion and I talked about the meeting all the way back home; it
was the kind of renewed faith and spiritual high that makes you feel like you
can tackle any of life’s great challenges. It was as we got back that we began
to call all the investigators that had committed to go to stake conference that
next day. In those calls, the faith that had been renewed was put to the test
as the majority of those we called changed their minds about going Sunday and
several others who were progressing towards their upcoming baptismal dates
decided to stop investigating the church. We were devastated. Despite being
devasted we’ve been trying our best to put into practice the teachings of the stake leaders and President and Sister Meservy.
I hope everyone has a great week, please pray for the
investigators here, we’re finding lots of people to teach. The mission is doing
fantastic.
Love you,
Elder Birrell
