Movie Night!

Buenos!

I don't have much time to write today, we went to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga for P-day today, so we've been busy all day. But, we had a pretty good week here in Dalton. This week, we were able to meet with E a couple times. He decided that he wanted to drop his baptism date. He still wants to keep learning, and eventually be baptized, but he was feeling a little bit of pressure about it, so he just wants to keep learning before he makes a decision. We also met with H this week, had a good lesson, and he told us that he knows the Book of Mormon is the word of God! Now we just have to get him to come to church, but he's doing really well!

Highlight of the week was definitely our ward activity on Saturday. We had a movie night at the church, and we watched "Meet the Mormons." Our members did a great job, helping organize things, bringing food, but most importantly inviting their friends! We had a lot of less actives and non-members in the church, and it was a super fun night!

Other thing from this week is transfers. There are a lot of changes happening throughout the mission, and there's a giant group of missionaries coming in, so there's a ton of missionaries training as well. Elder M and I are both staying here in Dalton, and most of our district is staying the same, but, our district leader Elder P is off to go be a zone leader in Asheville. So, I got called as the new district leader. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

My ponderizer this week comes from Words of Mormon 1:7, "And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will." We don't know all things; we don't know why everything happens. But, if we are in tune, the Lord will work through us to carry out His plans and purposes. I hope y'all have a great week! 

Love,
Elder Mitchell
