Week Eighty-five:  Jason Got the Priesthood! [March 11, 2019]

Hi Everyone! 

It's been a pretty great week! 

On Monday as we were walking back to our apartment for the evening we met someone named Michaela. We actually talked with her for a good while and she told us that we could come back and talk with her the next day! We did so and taught her the restoration and we will be teaching her again tomorrow! On Tuesday I also had my interview with President Nakken! 

We met with Dizi on Wednesday and went through the baptismal interview questions with her. She did great and she's pretty much all set for her baptism in April! We also met with Bob on Thursday and he's now read all of 1 Nephi. This next week he is going to be reading from Jacob. 

We've met a bunch of friendly people this week, some who said that we could come back, and some that weren't really that interested. We have also been doing a lot more member work this week, sharing a family mission plan with them. Hopefully it will be effective in the long run. 

Sunday, Jason received the priesthood and was ordained a priest! It was super cool being able to stand in the circle as the ordination was happening. We also had dinner with them in another member's home and had a great talk on prayer! He's doing so well and hopefully before too long he'll be headed to the temple! Later that night we got in contact with the other Jason we're working with and we're going to meet with him later tonight! 

That's pretty much it for this week, I hope all of you have a great day!
