It's been a good week, we had Zone Conference which was really good. We received training from our mission president on how to work with ward and stake leaders. There had always been a problem with leadership here so we were asked to try our best to help strengthen and love them. He also told us to work more with members in our missionary efforts. There are statistics that show that the more we work with members, the more people we will find through members, in time will lead to more baptisms.
So on Saturday our ward had some activities planned. Well there was a member who came and she started talking bad about our recent converts, criticizing her hair and the way she was dressed. This old member lady started saying that she had been a member of the church much longer, and that she knew everything about the gospel and that our new converts knew nothing. WELL, Caroline and Divine and Caroline's sister, Rachel left! They were not happy at all! Some sweet sisters from the ward went over to their house and ministered to them, which I thought was so nice. Later we went to visit them too and Divine reassured us that nothing will stop her from coming to church, which is so good. She promised us that she would help Caroline. This old lady really damaged the hard work we did with Rachel. She won't come back to church for awhile because she doesn't feel love there. The crazy thing is this old lady is inactive and just wanted to come for the free food.
I almost forgot, we had another baptism this week. An 8 year old girl named Princess and her cousin
Austin were baptized by her father.
Have a great week!
