Judging from Brock’s emails to me,
I think this is his hardest transfer so far.
He’s struggling a little bit. I
think it’s good that transfers are next week.
Maybe he’ll move, maybe he’ll stay, who knows? He’ll work his way through things and be
okay, it can’t be all fun games J He wrote to Britt and told her he had the stomach flu this week, that might be a part of the reason why it was a tough week for him He does love being the district leader and
training though. Since he is the
district leader, he was able to do a baptismal interview for an investigator
that has decided to be baptized. I asked
him how it went, this is what he had to say:
“The baptismal Interview was awesome.
There are about 10 basic questions that are asked them the rest up is up to you
and the spirit. I just kind of went off and focused on a subject on the gospel
and asked him to bear testimony. It's hard to talk about over email, but the
spirit is so strong in them. I should be able to have another one this week!
Woohoo!”

This one is going to have to be another
shorter Email! Today we had a Zone P Day and just arrived at the church to
email. I don't have too much time, so I'll just tell some great stories that
happened this week!
Today the Orlando Zone which consists of
about 25 missionaries ,set up
at a park and played a bunch of
games(Kickball, soccer, frisbee, and
volleyball.) we had a blast and
were able to get a little sun!
On Saturday evening, we were able to
meet with 2 of our investigators who have been showing more and more interest
in the Book of Mormon.
They are an older Black couple that have
been lifelong Baptists. They are really accepting of our message, but try to do
some Bible bashing every once in a while! They are the nicest old couple in the
world. They are about 75 and Sylvia, Leon's wife has been in a wheelchair for the
last 20 years! They are the best! But this week, we were almost finished
sharing the Plan of Salvation with them, when Leon started having some lower
abdominal pain. He said he was alright, but every once in a while he'd wince
and grab his stomach. As we continued on the pain got worse and he ended up
calling 911 and went to the hospital. It was one of the craziest things in the
world. He called us back last night and said his appendix almost ruptured in
the middle of our lesson! Kind of awkward timing... He's a trooper and said he
wants to meet later this week. The man is a Legend!
Wednesday afternoon we went down to a
place called "Lake Eola." If you
were to look up Orlando on Google, that
would be the Lake that comes up! It is a major tourist attraction that always
has people walking around it. We came to find out it was mainly tourists and
homeless people but hey need the gospel too!
Tuesday we found a couple new
investigators, and were able to have a
few lessons with our investigator who
accepted the baptismal invitation.
This upcoming week will be a fun one!
It's week 6 of the transfer and we are ready to finish it up strong! Thank you
so much for all of the love and support sent my way! I couldn't do it without
you!
Much love,
Elder Doman
Ether
12:27- And if men come unto me I will show unto them
their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace
is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble
themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
