***Baptism of Joseph Davies - Elder Lamb with Elder DegenWell I decided to share the story of Joseph Davies with a good friend and now you all can hear it.
He was a strong member of his other church. But my friend and former companion contacted him and started teaching. He took it well and was a very humble man. He never spoke much, but had a deep understanding. Something that is very hard to find here. He truly latched on the gospel when we used our wise Mission Presidents amazing advice to use members to help us teach. It just so happened a recent convert worked with him and was his friend. They instantly became a strength to each other and helped each other work hard. He then became strong and did almost anything that we asked. Which is also hard to find here. Through one good friend he made a firm grasp in the gospel soil. I was grateful to be the one to baptize him and happy because I know that he is strong in the gospel and now has the Holy Ghost on his side.
On the other hand we have one family who is less active now. The elders did very well teaching them and then they got baptized and all was well. Then Satan got the better half. A pastor from another church came and offered to sponsor them if they came to his church. Now they are full fledged members of this great apostasy that we live in today. The Pyne family may have fallen, but I believe with a few members testimonies and a few great stories of the Book of Mormon we can get them back. The other day we met Mr. Pastor Benjamin at their house. He felt very awkward about the whole thing. And now we will keep our presence known and never give up in this only true cause. I know that they will be back someday. It will be a long hard shameful road, but they will be back. Even if it isn’t me that gets them there.
Well that should be good. Keep after the lord’s work and make sure you choose the right even when older people around you aren’t.
Love
