Things are going great here. We had 4 investigators come to church yesterday which is a lot for us! We should have some baptisms in November!
As far as Facebook goes it is not all that good for
finding people. But, we have taught and even committed a person to be
baptized on Facebook. It is also good for strengthening members.
Wards here are large it is about 30 minute drive from the eastern border to the ward from our apartment. That's why the sisters cover
that area which is out in the countryside and live out there, while we live on
the western border and the actual city of Jacksonville. The senior couple
doesn't proselyte, they help the Marines that live on base who are LDS. So no one really steps on each other's feet
so to speak.
It sounds like it was a good stake conference. People overstepping their bounds is a problem everywhere in the church, same with teaching false doctrines and personal opinions. That's great to hear from Brother Call is he still teaching seminary at Syracuse High?
We did not do anything different for Columbus day, but it sure made shopping on preparation day a mess! Thanks for keeping the bank account filled!
"Every Member a Missionary" is a great topic to teach. We constantly are
talking about this with members. Many members don't understand how few people are
willing to listen to a faith they don't have any family or friends or any other
personal connections to or in. For example I do not remember a single time
growing up that you would listen to a salesman who knocked on our door, and that
is similar to how most people see us. With that being said the ward keeps us
busy, I can only think of one time I had to do actual door to door tracking.
I love so very much. The work is going great here and I love all the support
everyone back home has given me and I will email again next week.
Love,
Elder Lakey
