My
new Companion is Elder Reed, from Reno, NV, he is absolutely awesome!
He and I get a long super well, and we are very effective together, and
he taught me how to solve the rubik's cube. It's awesome how good of a
follow up trainer he is, I really think that He is helping me become the
missionary that I need to be! It's awesome to see how much we can
accomplish together.
I have had some pretty amazing experiences this week.
First,
Seeing the "Ballard Promise" in action. The Ballard promise is a
promise that Elder Ballard made to missionaries that if we would talk to
10 people, 20 per companionship, on the street outside of tracting and
open our mouths, our convert baptisms will double. So as we have gotten
our OYM's everyday, this week and made sure that every one of them was
effective, we picked up 5 new investigators through street contacts.
Second,
If as missionaries we make a promise, that a blessings will come if
someone keeps a commitment, no matter how much of a miracle it is, it
will happen. One of our investigators named Anthony, his wife was in the
Hospital with pneumonia and the doctors were scared as to whether or not
her and her unborn child would survive. As we were having this lesson
with him and he brought the situation up, he told us that he was going
to go visit her that night. I promised him that if he took a Book of
Mormon with him and read 3 Nephi 11 with his wife in the hospital, then
she would be out of the hospital by the end of the week. He Kept that
commitment and she was out of the Hospital the next day.
It has been an awesome week, and I feel like Devon (Captain Awesome) from Chuck because I am saying awesome so much.
Love you guys
Elder Bangerter
