Hello everyone!
Well this last week was great! It’s always a blessing to be able to get the car back. Driving is a privilege.
One awesome occurrence was when we visited a man who had referred himself online to receive a Book of Mormon in French from us. So we set up a time to meet and went over there. Turns out he is already a member, and he was baptized about 2 years ago in this area. A while afterward he moved to Chicago, but had a bad fall at a wedding party and cracked his head open and lost his memory! But he is gaining it back now slowly and he remembers his testimony of this church even though he doesn’t really remember the doctrine, and he wants to come back and prepare to enter the temple! How crazy is that?!
Our zone had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Lamb of God performance in Holland, Michigan, on Saturday night. Due to some extenuating circumstances, we ended up being quite late, but miraculously they began RIGHT as Elder Strauss and I and the other Elders sat down. It was both a blessing and a curse we were in the second row… everyone was glaring at us as we stepped over to our seats. EVERYONE. But I’m grateful I was able to feel the Spirit as an orchestra played, a choir sang, and soloists representing the Savior’s closest friends and apostles sang of Him.
Lastly, I’ll mention that I had the chance for the first time on my mission to sing in sacrament meeting, alongside Sister Nelson and Sister MacArthur! People in the audience were crying so I guess that is a good thing, right? π I’ve been waiting to sing for a long time and I really enjoyed it π
I love you all and I hope you have a marvelous week! Stay safe and pray often!
Love,
Elder Breinholt
