The first day in Guam in the first lesson with an investigator we had 5 elders all teaching this one lady. So it was a 5 way lesson. And it was half English and half Chuukese. So I'm not really sure what's going on sometimes. So I taught like twice. and then during a part in Chuukese Elder Luong turns to me and whispers "after this, invite her to be baptised"
AND THIS IS HER FIRST LESSON EVER. ARE YOU CRAZY MAN?!
And then I remembered in the MTC they said trust your companion (in this case 4 other companions) even if you think they might be going down the wrong path. And so I talked to her about her family and how being baptised will bring her closer to her family and to God and said "Will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptised by someone holding the priesthood authority?" and she thought for a second and said yes. then I said, "we will be holding a baptismal service on the 21st of June, will you prepare to be baptised on this date?" and again she agreed. HAHAHAHA WHAT?!?! I walked out of the lesson still wondering what actually happened. It was a cool experience.
