To help us out, the bishop rented a 28 person capacity school bus for Sunday morning. It helped us out ALOT and to the bishop´s and our happiness it filled up with investigators, recent converts and less actives. It was a fun and a different sunday experience than the usual bringing investigators by foot or public transportation.
Some of my favorite talks were Henry B. Eyring (if I remember right it was him) about Joseph Smith, Elder Carlos Gadoy and another seventy who both talked about decisions, and of course Elder Holland´s.
We have a few baptisms scehduled within the next month inlcuding Karolayne who is a members girlfriend, Juliana who is the cousin of an investigator that invited her to church as well.
Also, a single mom named Monica who has known the church for a long time, but apparently didn´t know there was the same one around here as she attended church in another city. We found her asking for directions, taught the restoration, and to our surprise she brought out an institute book she already had on eternal marriage! She didn´t get baptized in the other city where she used to go to church becuase she was living with her husband but not married, but now she is a single Mom and can! We thought she was not going to go to conference when we passed by in the morning and she said she wasn´t going to be able to go, so we didn´t pass by her house in the rented bus. To our surprise 2 minutes after we had gotten to conference in the bus, she walked in the door with her kids! It was an awesome blessing to see them there and they loved the conference.
I´m loving it here and happy to be a missionary. I hope you all the best!
Elder Justyn Pollock
