LETTER FROM OCT. 20TH

Hello Everyone! So this week was alright.  This whole transfer we were focused on getting this area organized.  We have been putting up a new wall-map and organizing the area book.  These two activities have been extremely time consuming and, at some times, frustrating, but it will all be worth it.  This whole week we were dedicated in finishing it, so we didn't have much time to proselyte.  We actually finished it on Thursday, and I am so grateful for the time and energy we put into it, because it makes everything so much easier!

Unfortunately, J, our 10-year-old investigator, dropped us this week.  His mom just randomly texted us and dropped us.  Please keep her in your prayers so that her heart will be softened, he was supposed to be baptized next Wednesday.  M has been doing really well though.  His friends, who live in Texas, bought him the Quad for his baptism and he was super stoked about that!  

We have been doing things kinda differently here in Charlottetown.  Every one of our (sisters and us) investigators have been being co-taught by all of us.  OUR investigators are THEIR investigators.  So we have also been teaching E and R as well.  E is doing well, her and I connect really well and the last lesson we had with her was an emotional and powerful lesson.  The only reason she is being taught is because of a member.  #MemberMissionaryWork  E is pretty solid, she has great fellowships and she is strengthening her testimony each day through prayer and reading.  She has a few concerns that we are doing are best to resolve but she is great!  Now let me tell you about R.  I absolutely love her.  She started investigation because she saw an ad for a free Bible and she grew curious about what we believe.  She is just so great!  Every lesson she pulls out this book absolutely FULL of questions that she writes down as she reads from the Book of Mormon.  She is far more advanced than I can handle. Before investigating, she STUDIED, and I mean STUDIED the Bible.  Each day she just confirms that the Book of Mormon AND Bible go hand-in-hand.  She is so great, she just always brings a smile to my face.  She is actually getting her husband to investigate as well!

So we had 2 Halloween parties this week. One with the YSA and one with the ward.  Both were really fun.  We also went to a fireside last night and I would suggest that everyone looks at this website: Shropshiremusicfoundation,org...It was an informational fireside about how kids all over the world are being raised in a war-filled environment and poverty.  Sister Shropsire, a missionary who served here many years ago, started an organization about how music can lift the spirits of those kids.  It was such a great fireside, it made me realize how blessed we truly are to live in a free country.  It also just affirmed how music can really affect the lives of so many.  I know that music has most definitely played a huge roll on my life.

I am doing really well!  I feel better about everything and I am a lot happier.  One scripture that I have been focusing on this week is 2Nephi 31:20...Its talks about hope, faith, and enduring...I Can and Will endure if I put my Faith in Christ.

I hope Everyone is doing well

Love you

Elder King
