Using Hunting for Missionary Work - Week 10 in St. Lucia

Well this week was just another typically missionary week. Just been living the life out here in the field. Me and my comp are re-naming all the terms. haha for example, instead of calling it Contacting we call it Hunting. The goal is to go out and "scout"  - look for the great investigators. Then once we find the one with "huge horns"- or a ready to hear the gospel, we then grab or "guns"- the Book of Mormon, and we hike to go find it. Next we go and get into "shooting range" and teach them all the lessons. Next we "Load the gun" which is to set a baptismal date. And then "BOOM we fire" and that means to splash and we get a baptism. I love how we can use hunting for an example in all things we do!

Right now in our area we are about where we are loading the gun! We have been setting some baptismal dates with some solid investigators. I thought since I am a great hunter, (confidence, not cocky), I am going to become the greatest missionary. 

So this week we worked our butts off. It was great to see some success. We set 6 baptismal dates. I hope they will all go through. 

Also this week we taught a man with 6 fingers!!! I kept quoting The Princess Bride. "You killed my father prepare to die..."  

Oh and something cool with him is that we got him to come to church. I am confident that through the lord's help we will baptize him and his family. Also I let him borrow my shoes for this Sunday so he would come to church. And so he came. I forgot after church to get them back so I might be short shoes now haha. Maybe he will give them back this week...

Anyway cool story. So Elder Taylor and I decided to fast this Sunday for our investigators so they will come to church. It was hard but the Lord quenched my thirst and hunger for food and filled it with the gospel. We got two of our investigators to church which was great. And one of them even bore her testimony! 

Man the church is True!!

Anyway that is about it for me! Love you all 

Elder Dixon!!
