We set up a tour with the command historian brother fleek in our ward. It was fun! And frigggggiiiidddddd. 😁🌬🌬🌬❄ 1. Choose the right cookies at the baptism 2. The baptism! Krista is so awesome. She even bore her testimony at the primary program! 3. Car selfie 4. The joker has visited highland falls...🤡 It has been another great week here in the NYNYN Mission! We have souls coming unto Christ! We have a mission goal to help 50 souls enter the waters of baptism for the next three consecutive months. As a mission we have 72 souls on baptismal date so its looking good! We've been working in this goal for a while and we think the time is finally coming after and of course during all of our missions hard work and prayers!
Then the Lord has given us smartphones as tools to fulfill our missionary purpose more efficiently! We now have a hot spot so we can Skype members into lessons, street contacts, and everything! It should be awesome! Oh and we can use emojis haha. So the baptism went super well! The Shaha family let us combine Krista's baptism with their 8 year old sons baptism and it was awesome. A ton of members came. Sister Shaha and her non-memeber friend made these awesome and delicious CTR cookies. Krista couldn't wipe the smile off her face, her parents were feeling the spirit and it was awesome! She got confirmed the next day in sacrament meeting and it went very well! Elder Norton got to confirm her a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She said she felt a warm feeling inside. As a missionary that's one of the best things you can hear from someone who you have taught 😊 After that there was the primary program and it was the best (as usual)! Krista bore her testimony and everything! So here's a little miracle. We felt prompted to go knock this street over in Fort Montgomery. We were in highland falls and it's was kind of out of our way so we almost didn't go tract this street. Well we decided to go and the third door we knocked this man opened the door and invited us right in to his house and he and his wife were super open to learning more! So this was on Friday and we set a return appointment for Tuesday and invited them to read Moroni chapter 10. Well, they are Roman Catholic and instead of reading just chapter 10 he read 8, 9, and 10. When he said he read chapter 8 I was like eesh... I wonder what he's going to say (chapter 8 talks about how the baptism of infants is an abomination because they are already alive in Christ) so he told us that was like a splash of cold water in the face but he kept reading and he said he totally agrees with what chapter 8 said! Like what?! Awesome! So we will be visiting them after thanksgiving and will invite them to be baptized! So that's exciting! The scripture of the week has to have been in Helaman 9-10. More specifically Helaman 10:1-2. When Nephi is left alone after he's just seen miraculous miracles and he ponders on the things he's just seen. I'd invite you to read Helaman 9-10 in the Book of Mormon and then read this talk. It is Devin G. Durrant's address in the October 2014 General Conference it is called "My Heart Pondereth Them Continually". Remember pondering precedes revelation! I love you all and hope you have an amazing week! Oh yeah! It's thanksgiving tomorrow! We are going to the Allen's house for the feast. It will be awesome! I love the Allen family. I also love you all! I am grateful for each one of you in my life. Seriously. Like I wouldn't be who I am today with y'all! So thank you! Elder Murray
