Week 85: Another good week in Lawton

This week we found 4 new people to teach. Amber, Richard, Joseph, and Sarah. Richard, Joseph, and Sarah are all from the same house. It is a really cool situation. Joseph's mom was a member but he didn't know that until after his mom passed away. It was a lot of fun teaching them all. They want to come to church but they have a wild schedule at Goodyear tire. We have been meeting with them for a good bit now but just barely started teaching lessons. 

Amber is really cool as well. She has a young family and she has a lot of questions for us. I call them the basic questions like "Why do we need another book of scripture?", "how do you know your prophet isn't false?" "I heard that you all are saved by works, is that true?" She had a lot of those questions. We had to hit the surface level with them all but we are going back Wednesday and going deeper into the answers of her questions. 

On post, on Sunday we had 3 baptisms, 3 confirmations, and 2 Aaronic priesthood ordinations. There were so many priesthood ordinances in one day. The work on the post is so fast but they are some of the most spiritual experiences I have had on my mission. I love going there each week.

It's been another good week in Lawton!
