Elder AJ Halling Boston Massachusetts Mission: This week was incredible!

Bonjou tout moun! Semen sa te anfom!!

This week was fantastic! We taught a handful of lessons, saw a lot of people, investigators. It was great!!!

I guess the first highlight this week is that we committed Emmanuel to a baptismal date, it's a little ways away (August 24) but we feel like it's the right date, and he does as well. So we're really excited about that, he's still going to church every week and he knows the gospel better than a lot of people!

We had a lesson with a less active this week, and we've come up with a new tactic in teaching her, and we think it'll be really good. Instead of going over and teaching more complex things and committing her to come to church, we're going to just teach basic truths. So now we'll just talk about prayer, faith, Jesus Christ, etc. So we'll do that, and then little bit by little bit we'll help her realize that she knows it all. Then at that point, we'll point it all back to just coming to church. We're really excited!

A member, Gedeon invited his two friends to hear our message, they are straight outta Haiti! They live in New York, visiting Boston for a little bit. They have 3 months here in America. They liked the message a lot, they said we'll keep in touch when they come back to Boston in 2 or 3 weeks. And then Gedeon looks at us and acts like he's getting baptized and then points at the both of them, so funny!! Haha

There were a lot of other successes this week, just little ones that really make you realize why you're out here!

Love you all so much! Have a great week.
