Easter was awesome. Bishop and
his wife spoke. Both about Easter, the Atonement and change especially.
Bob came to Church and loved it again. Our new investigator, Desmond,
came as well. He is engaged to a less active member who wants to come
back. We had a great restoration lesson at her parents' house last week.
He is set for the 24th, we'll see how it goes. He seems pretty
interested. Bishop told us to go home and watch this :http://easter.mormon.org/?cid=HPTU041514694
and Purifying Power of Gethsemane. So, we shared That with our Dinner appointment.
It was really an awesome priesthood meeting we watched a series of the
Bible videos.
Bob works for a concrete and steel company. Still
doing heavy labor with them. He enjoys just about everything about the
Church. oh, his date is now the 17th of May, so please pray that he can
make his date. Thanks. We haven't talked to him yet about family history,
but it's in line with the discussions a bit later with temple work. Don't
remember how long they have been married, I think they have some kids,
but their empty nested too.
The ward is small-medium size. They don't have
pews, just rowed chairs. But, they are close to getting a renovation as
the building is made to be renovated. They just need over 140 in
constant attendance. Apparently, a General Authority not long ago said
due to the people here, in the future, there will be a stake in
Gloucester. They just need to figure out how to do the Work and have the
Charity to spread the Gospel. Ward mission leader is okay, we have
correlation weekly. He led a small discussion in opening announcements
about referrals and member home lessons and such. The Hermanas (Spanish
sisters) for now do English work until Spanish people come in for summer
jobs. They attend the ward and translate for any Spanish people.
Oh, on May 3rd, we will be going to Richmond in a
Bi-Mission conference with them to hear from Elder Bednar, who will then
address the Newport News Stake (Ours) for stake conference the following
week. We also will go to that even though they broadcast it to all the
units. Tad R. Callister and Jay E. Jensen were supposed to come, but will be new people since they received new callings.
Thanks for the email.
Love Ya'll
Elder Meyerink
