Now for my bad news for the week. I got in a fender bender yesterday. Nothing serious, but you should get my ticket in the mail at some point. It's for failure to yield, and the cop said it shouldn't be too expensive. Let me know when you get it, and if you could make sure it get's paid i would appreiciate it. I'm really sorry about that. My guilt and stress levels are really high right now, and car accidents don't help at all.
On a good note, our investigators are doing well. If all goes well we should have a good number of baptisms in December. We've got some great progressing investigators and some that need a little work. All in all life is good though.
Our zone meeting this week was on repentance. Devin would've loved it. Elder Tanner and i had everyone write down there "favorite sin" on slips of paper and put them in a jar. We then proceeded to poor in lighter fluid and light it on fire. Repentance is awesome! haha. The doctrine was hopefully as good as the object lesson. We started by discussing a large number of definitions of repentance.
- The movement from prison to paradise
-To convert to another state.
- To turn around.
- The process of becoming like God.
and my favorite:
-Repentance is the Plan of Salvation.
It's interesting how the change that comes to a repentant sould is not based about the trials we recieve, but how we deal with those trials. I spend a lot of time trying to imagine how the Savior dealt with emotion and struggle.
Well, I gotta run. I will talk to you all soon. Thanks for being so awesome.
Love,
Austin
