Week #63 - Mitchell Branch South Dakota

Good morning everyone!

This week was fantastic! We had our interviews with the mission president and we had our baptism for Tristan, Collin's brother! It was a really good experience! I had an interesting experience this week! I have recently been letting my Junior Companion drive everywhere so that he gets a good feel for the area and so that he is ready if I leave this transfer and we had our car battery die! Neither of us could remember doing anything or leaving anything on. We had a quick prayer to start the car and we went to start the car and nothing happened. We got out of the car thinking maybe we needed to see someone in the area and after walking down the street for maybe a couple minutes a guy we later learned was named Jamie opened his door and called out to us. He thought we were salesmen at first and he wanted to know what we were selling but we told him that what we were doing we were doing for free. We taught him about the restoration and he took a Book of Mormon to read through and pray about. What a cool little miracle. We had dinner with our ward mission leader scheduled right after that and he lives on the street our battery died on so after dinner we got some jumper cables and started the car and the rest of the evening went on smoothly. It is clear to me that Gods hand was in that situation and that that man really needed to hear the gospel at that time! We also had an incredible Stake Conference where Elder Mervyn B. Arnold of the Seventy and his wife came and gave amazing talks about sharing the gospel and about having family councils to strengthen our relationships with our wives and children! Over all it has been quit the spiritual week! Love you all! Elder Adair
