April 25, 1994

4/25

Started things off at (a) ZDM, whoo! (b) Elder Udy is in Lehighton! Great to see the man I replaced on my mission: the Bethlehem mainstay.

We had a great visit with Misty and read out of (c) the Book of Mormon with her and set up an appointment with her tomorrow. She's cool.

And Penny fell through tonight, so we found a woman out of the (d) area book and visited her tonight. She'd been waiting for there to be a change in her life, plus she's been looking for a church plus she wants to be baptized and come to church this weekend! She's great!

Plus, I talked to Penny this evening and tried to help her since her job has been depressing her lately. Hopefully she will pray this evening and I look forward to seeing her again. I feel so much better now that I was able to talk to her. What a great day! I love the Lord!

**************************

(a) ZDM - Zone Development Meeting. This is like a professional development or in-service meeting held in zones throughout the mission every so often.

(b) Elder Chad Udy was the missionary I replaced in my first area, Bethlehem, when I entered the mission. I joined with his companion, Elder Jagerson, who became my trainer.

(c) The Book of Mormon is a book of scripture that members of the LDS Church believe is another testament of Jesus Christ written by ancient prophets living in this continent and translated by a prophet, Joseph Smith, through the gift and power of God, ushering in the restoration of Christ's church on the earth.



(d) Missionaries use an area book to keep track of all contacts past and present for the elders or sisters living and working there.
