Hey mom!
Life still continues to roll in the
TKM! These last two weeks we hit the road hard with 10 zone training meetings
across the whole mission and several "exchanges" with the Zone
Leaders through out the mission as well. We trained on finding and have already
been able to see a very noticeable increase in our finding of new investigators
throughout the mission. So that's exciting.
We also have been introducing the
new movie "Meet the Mormons" as we went and visited with all of the
missionaries. It isn't out until the 10th of October in theaters around the
nation. It's a really good movie, I suspect Dani will be seeing it soon
if she hasn't already and Alyssa will more than likely have the opportunity to
watch it in the MTC. It seems to be highly effective in tearing down walls of
ignorance. So thus I see it being a
highly effective tool in "The Work of Salvation." It was also merely
entertaining, which was a nice change from the daily.
So today I went on a speaking
assignment with President Griffin, which we do about once a month. It's always
an exciting experience to do that. I spoke in Dalton, GA this morning on the
Atonement and the power it has to change us. President always follows and
knocks it out of the park, makes the whole congregation cry, and successfully
makes us feel inferior all in one fell swoop. He really is a great speaker and
I have been able to learn a lot from him these past 3 months or so. He has
truly been one of the greatest blessings of my mission and a huge role model
for me in my life. I will miss the time I get to spend with him, and also with
his family who have adopted me as their own practically. I will be the first
assistant that they will send home.
I love my mission and am still
learning things everyday! I know that it's the work of the Lord, this witness I
have reaffirmed daily.
Thanks for everything
Love
Elder Bakker
