Kendall Green San Bernardino Mission

Hey Everyone! This week has been very busy. We had a lot of meetings a long with exchanges. On Tuesday we had district council and after that we had zone leader council which is basically a meeting with the zone leaders, sister training leaders, and district leaders. The next day, we had follow up training which went from 10am - 3pm and then we had exchanges with the Waterman Elders only a couple of days later. It made it a little hard to get out and proselyte. However, we did have some success this week. During exchanges, I knocked on a door and a man answered. He was very nice and when we explained that we were missionaries he invited us in. We were very surprised and in turned out him and his wife had great faith in Christ. We have an appointment with them today and we are so excited to visit them.  The most interesting thing that happened this week was that as we were knocking on doors we accidentally found the house of a member of the church in the English w...

Hey Everyone! This week has been both hard and rewarding. The week started out pretty slow. A lot of appointments fell through and we weren't finding a lot of people. We did get to call 911 to report a car crash. Thankfully, no one was hurt. This weekend was a lot better,  though.  First of all, my companion was lead by the spirit to two people who were very open to receiving missionary visits. We also had a lesson where reading the Book of Mormon had a friend of one of the people we were teaching in tears. Finally, I just got an email from one of my recent converts. He is currently serving in the Arequipa, Peru mission and it maked me so happy to be working with him in the work of the Lord. Knowing that he is in the service of the Lord with me has made all of the sacrifice I have made worth it. Have a good week! Elder Green

Hey everyone! Well this week has been an interesting week. Thankfully, we had no bike problems this week! We were so happy that nothing went wrong. Sadly, no one was home for most of the week. With one person, we called everyday trying to set up an appointment with him but everyday something came up. It was very frustrating. However, at the end of this week we had some good successes. There were some people that were opened to us and said we could come back. Yesterday was just filled with miracles. First of all, we had a great mission conference with Elder Whiting. We learned a lot about teaching by the spirit and helping others recognize the spirit. He taught that when we know the spirit is present we should ask the people we are teaching how they feel so that they can learn to recognize the spirit. He also shared about how when we testify we need to make it real. We should share our own experiences that others can relate to. This also is a powerful way to bring the spirit. It...

Hey everyone! Well this week has honestly been crazy and busy. I conducted my first district council and it didn't go to bad. I'm learning little by little. We also had exchanges with the the zone leaders and that was helpful. Elder Clarke helped me learn and plan how to help my district. We also had some good conversations with the people we are teaching. We found the iceberg that is preventing one of the people we are teaching from being baptized. It'll be a rough road for him, but with prayer and faith, I hope he can overcome it. With another person we are teaching we found that he is on the edge of being baptized. He's just waiting for a confirmation from the spirit that it's what he should do. We're now just trying to figure out how we can help him be more receptive to the spirit so he can receive the confirmation he desires. Besides that, the most frustrating thing this week is that our bikes have been breaking a lot. According to the mission bik...
