Fire and Damnation

This week has been awesome. I got to meet the new elder from Austria. I could not tell you his name or how to spell it but he is pretty cool. He is being trained by the Zone Leaders. This week we had two exchanges. So that means it went by crazy fast. Exchanges are the best because when you get a group of missionaries together they are not distracted and put the nose to the grindstone and get to work.

The highlight of the week, we had our Investigator John come to church. He rode his goffer all the way from the train station and he enjoyed it. Hopefully with the members help we can make a difference and change that man’s life.

The Zone conference was this week. President Fife is the type of mission president that likes to spit damnation and hell fire at you from the pulpit. It is a good thing a lot of us missionaries need it. The goal for us at the moment is to take this semi-dead area of Kelmscott and turn it into a model missionary area that others can look up to. That was the council that was given to us as missionary leaders.

I personally am trying to refocus myself a little. Ground myself to the good things and forsake the bad. We as a Zone have a goal of saving 40 souls which either means back to activity or baptism. We are on our way there. I would say if any aspect of my life has changed since coming on the mission it would be that the love I have for myself, others, and God has increased. I love it when the Brethren say that we have divine potential it gives me some hope.

Sorry to cut it short this week but I will try to get better at it. Make sure to check the pictures we had some fun times.

Elder Gunter.
