Well this has once again been a crazy crazy crazy week!!!! So much has happened, and so many miracles have been seen. I love my mission, and I am so glad that I am here. I am going to start off by commenting on some things then I will tell you about the amazing thing that happened last night!!!!!!!!!!
We have an investigator named Gus Bempong. He is from Ghana, and he is amazing!!!!!! We found him in Piccadilly and he is golden beyond golden!!! Last night we were planning on teaching him the Plan of Salvation, but when we got there he had a really good question about prayer. We covered that question and then continued on with the Plan of Salvation. We had considered dating him for baptism, and we even had the dates in mind. We started to teach and the lesson was going great. I was trying to figure out when to bring up baptism, because I didn’t think that the end would be a very good time. We ended up reading Alma 7:11-13 in conjunction with the Atonement. This is where the spirit started to talk to me. I usually go to verse 14, but I felt that I shouldn’t. We talked about the Atonement, and then we went on to verse 14 which talks about baptism and the part that it plays in the Atonement. The spirit was amazingly strong. We had Jonathan Spencer (my MTC teacher) with us, and you could tell that he was buzzing!! I have noticed that the spirit really guides my thoughts very directly when I am in lessons, and this time was no exception. I prayed as to which date we should do, and the answer came. I know that we did the right thing. We committed him when the spirit was strong, and we followed the spirit as to which date to do it on, and I have never felt better. I love inviting others to come unto Christ! There is no greater call then being able to help others find the joy and happiness that I have found in my life through the gospel! His date is the 7th of march, which is sadly 3 days after transfers, and there is a really good chance that I will not be here. I am hoping that I am not too far away so that I can come back!
The work is moving, and I am loving it. I am really diving into studying as usual, and I am loving Alma. I read Alma 11 a few days ago and I found one of my favourite lines in all of the Book of Mormon….. ‘And Amulek replied “OH THOU CHILD OF HELL!!!!!!” I love that so much, and I really wish that I could tell that to some people some times. I have also been moving along and I am in Luke now, and I am loving the life of Christ. I am using Jesus the Christ as well, and it is going great.
I love you all!
Elder Neal
This should be the new mission uniform I think!!!
