march 23-29 (Week 70)

Aloha Family and Friends,

Another week has flown by. I can hardly believe how fast time is flying. Last week as I was preparing district meeting I was looking over how my district was doing with the goals we had set for the transfer and it dawned on me that there was only two Sundays left before the transfer ended.  I swear that it was just yesterday that I was picking up my companion from the airport and now it seems that it’s time for us to split. However we’re trying to use the best of the time we have left (little over a week). I don’t know if it was something I said in district meeting or if the rest of my district realized that our time is limited but we finally managed to get over 130 people to church. That might not seem like a lot but for our little 25”x 50” chapel it was more than we could handle. Children sat on parent’s laps and sometimes two to a chair while the many of the youth stood. We’re going to try our hardest this week to reach our goal of 150, but I’m not too worried about the goal. The most important thing is that those who came had an opportunity to renew the covenants they made at baptism. Some who came haven’t renewed that covenant for a very long time.

I’ve been so focused on fixing all the problems in the branch that I admittedly haven’t put as much focus as I should have on finding new investigators. However, this week I’ll get to see one of my investigators get baptized. She is a 12 year old little girl named Nyamdari. She’s been coming to church since before I came to Murun and has been more receptive to the gospel than anyone I’ve ever met. She’s a little irritating at times, but I suppose that come with being a 12 year old. Unfortunately, though her mom gave permission for her baptism, and is a very kind lady, she is always leaving to tend livestock so we’ve never really had a chance to meet with her. Her old sister was adamantly against her baptism, but after meeting with her she reluctantly accepted. My companion and I are going to continue to meet with the rest of the family. Hopefully her older brother who attends a different church will eventually hear our message. He said he’s going to start coming to the English class I teach so we’ll see.

Outside of that, all of our work with less active members is starting to pay off. We’ve started meeting with quite a few people’s relatives and friends, in turn giving them the opportunity to share the gospel. On top of that some of those who have started to come to church again are bringing friends on their own with out any nudging from us. I’m starting to see a real change in this branch, and in its members.

Anyways, that’s all for this week,
Elder Pitt
