Then I went to the New Missionary meeting
and picked up my new companion, his name is Elder Ramirez. He is really
awesome and really excited to work, his teaching is a little shaky but
he will get there really soon. He is so fun to be companions with.
Then
I had my first District Meeting as District Leader, that went really
well, we talked about our own district culture and the things we are
going to do to set us apart from the other districts in the mission it
was fun.
On Saturday
we went to Oakland all day long to hear from Elder Bednar. It was
really amazing, he talked a lot about how to teach and treat people as
agents rather than objects. It was really inspiring. Guess what else?
Elder Mitchel Nelson (one of my best friends) was there because he is in
the Oakland Mission. He was playing piano, it was really cool seeing
him and catching up with him.
On Sunday Elder Neil L. Anderson came to our ward and spoke, because his son is in our ward, so we got two apostles in one weekend. On Sunday
we had a miracle. A man name James W. felt inspired to go into our
church. He came in and we took him to classes and he got to shake hands
with an apostle. then we taught him a lesson right after church, he was
super prepared and he said he wanted to join the church, so before he
left we set a baptismal date with him for December 6th
and taught him again that night. We are teaching him again tonight. He
is really amazing. He is the most prepared investigator I have met. He
already stopped Smoking, stopped drinking coffee and felt like he should
live the law of chastity, he felt like that was what he should do.
Well this week has been great. Thank you all for your love and support and for all of your prayers.
Elder Hopkins
