This week I went on two more exchanges. One with Elder Smith (one of the Zone Leaders) in Monroe Utah and again with Elder Patterson in Richfield.
With Elder Smith we talked to a pastor of another faith, it was really cool at first since the guy really likes talking to missionaries, but then turned into a this scripture says (back and forth a little bit) so we bore our testimonies and left since arguing in any form isn't conducive to the Spirit. We also taught a cool family about Tithing and faith and they said how they not only want to get baptized but also want to work to go to the temple when they can! :)
With Elder Patterson we taught Karter about how the church has the priesthood, prophets and apostles, and Revelation and how it wouldn't work without them. We balanced three knives on three cups like a table for it and talked about how the Lord restored his church through Joseph Smith. Another cool thing is some nice old people bought us lunch from a nice Chinese restaurant. :)
On one day we had interview with President Center so that was cool. :)
Back in Salina we are still teaching a bunch of people and trying to keep busy with them; we also set up for teaching a mission preparation class thing on Thursdays in the seminary building. One family we talked to was like, "we're getting married next week so we can be baptized the next week" which was cool since they were going to wait until March.
Elder Betham and I also talked in one of the Redmond Wards. I talked about how being grateful can help us grow through the grace of Christ's Atonement. I got the idea from reading in my Portuguese scriptures "acao de gracas" which means "action of graces" but in English is "thanksgiving." It is cool how just being grateful and appreciative can make us better people. :)
