Hello All,
This week has been pretty good so far.
Elder Elison and I have been getting closer every day and we really have been a great team with teaching and backing each other.
So on Wednesday we went to Omaha and I actually saw something
taller that a few stories tall building, The city was weird and foreign
seeing it.
On Sunday we went and visited a investigator with a baptismal
date set for February. We went over
there to teach him some more lessons to prepare him for the interviews that
were that week. We were going to put some blocks on his computer so he
couldn't look at anything inappropriate and we found out that he has been
looking at a ton of pornography of all kinds and for hours on end on his
computer. When we saw this we got off of
it and after a few minutes he came come, ( he is 13 years old) and we
confronted him about the porn on his computer.
We told him how addicting it can be and how destroying it can be to him
and his family. While we were talking to him he was continually trying to
distract him self with everything. We
talked with him a little bit more and left. Later that night at around 9
ish, we got a text from him saying that he doesn't want to get baptized and
wants to wait a few years before he makes a baptism date.
We were pretty devastated. Later at the apartment,
Elder Elison asked me to give him a blessing.
When I was saying it I knew what to say and was saying things that I had
not previously planned to say. After the prayer we were both really
feeling the spirit and that ended our day pretty good.
Thank you all for the super cool birthday gifts and for the
various songs of happy birthday to me.
Love, Elder Vance
