Hey Family!
I am sad to say that I don't have much to tell you about because all Elder Hill and I have been doing is knocking doors all day everyday trying to invite people to learn more.
Oh and you might be wondering what happened to Del Dennis... well we just found out that he isn't in our ward boundaries he is actually in the Copperfield's ward boundaries which stinks since we have been teaching him and now we have to hand him over, but oh well.
But one cool experience did happen this week. We had an appointment to visit with Rhonda but we needed an 18 year old male to come with us and we were trying to figure out who to take then we thought about Juan who is 18 and investigating the church. I have never done this before, taking a non-member teaching with us to a non-member, but we thought we would try it out. So during the lesson we were asking Rhonda if she had read the BOM or prayed about getting baptized. And she gave her usual answer.....NO! So this made me frustrated so I didn't have the spirit, then Elder Hill was getting into it with Rhonda about how were are the only church who has authority to baptize but Rhonda disagreed so Elder Hill didn't have the spirit either. But out of no where Juan asked if he could share some scriptures with Rhonda and he immediately brought the spirit back so STRONG! And he calmed Rhonda down and Juan shared scriptures that applied to her and told her how he wasn't baptized yet but was planning on it. So it was so neat to see this connection between two non-members but Elder Hill and I got totally owned, which was ok with me, so that was a very memorable experience.
Well, yesterday on P-Day we played indoor soccer and I scored 6 goals and got 5 assists and my team won the Katy cock-a-doodle, woot, woot! haha Well I am super sore today and have a lot of doors lined up for me to knock on. Love y'all -Elder Barton
