I got to set apart our formerly Buddhist banker as my new secretary in our elders quorum meeting last Sunday. Today he asked who was looking out for the professional painter who's been attending church. I said, 'You!', so that's what he did. He's going to be a great asset!
In a new-member lesson today, our recently baptised banker shared how he had prayed Sunday about a new job offer. He said he heard a distinct voice this morning tell him not to take the job. I love watching the Holy Ghost guide and bless new members!

He sent me a much appreciated message this evening: 'You work so hard for the Church! I really appreciate that. If you need me, I'm here to help you'. We are so blessed by our recent converts!

Some interesting newbies at the stake singles fast-breaker this evening, including a formerly Muslim young professional who responded to an online missionary advert and was baptised in August and a bloke who was baptised in 2003, went inactive in 2006, and came back this year.

Our tough nut who was baptised (after being mugged) back in February and our professional painter (who attended church for the 4th time today) also came for their first time.

Sunday tie check. We heard 12 solid testimonies in our sacrament meeting this morning. I bore my witness that the teachings of Jesus and His commandments are ‘the manner of happiness’. We had 2 non-member friends join us. Both have come for several weeks.

I thought I should make it memorable, so when the girls rang the doorbell, I opened the garage door instead. No lights. The dad urged the girls to peer inside. Category 7 jump scare! He was still laughing as they walked away. And KitKats were a good choice.
A quorum member just texted to ask if he could bring his daughter and her friend to ‘trick-or- treat’ tonight. I said yes! So now I’m walking to the shops to buy chocolate bars since I doubt they want to split a jar of kimchi or any of the other treats I have for myself…

Saving this here because Kirk Rollins's posts sometimes go missing.

Also, I note that his promised 'last LDS post' has, in fact, not been his last...not that any serious person thought it might be. The grift must go on!

You still need convincing? xitter.gq/nicoraytruth/status/21…
Everyone hating on Kirk (@nicoraytruth) right now is retarded (I say this with love for all of you) Change my mind

This may be the first time I’ve ever been grateful for the age filter!

American friends, should this worry me? Make me rethink what I post?

The scene inside was good too! The 1st course included the following salads: dressed red sauerkraut, fermented cauliflower & carrot, roasted eggplant, beetroot & walnut, chicken & pineapple, Caprese, and Greek. Ministering brings many blessings!
It rained quite heavily whilst I was visiting one of my ministering families this evening, but before it did, we all got to enjoy this cracker of a sunset from their back verandah.

Bro tries to convince us that he's actually read the Book of Mormon by grossly misrepresenting the narrative! Proof once again that such posts are meant for ignorant audiences only.
I’ve read it actually. It’s about a conflict between the Nephites and the Lamanites. The Nephites are good and pure and do nothing wrong, and the Lamanites are dumb barbarians who can only destroy. There’s no religious message, Smith just wrote a mediocre fantasy story.

I travelled to the temple with 2 mates last night so that we could attend today. I've never before seen our temple so busy on a Tuesday morning. Both endowment sessions were nearly full, and although I had a booking, initiatory was so thronged that we only completed 2 ordinances.

A brother formerly of our stake was also queued up for initiatory but never got in. He was in the temple today to help perform ordinances for a deceased sister and also to be sealed to his elderly parents. So much joy!

More fulltime missionaries with smart-looking facial hair in photos taken both at a recent mission leadership council and a zone conference (same mission as below):
Another Latter-day Saint mission in a completely different nation appears to be involved in trialling facial hair for male missionaries, though I'm seeing only moustaches this time. Images are all from this week's mission leadership council. I love it!

Tonight’s food dilemma: a full serve of leftover basmati rice but too little veg curry to go with. Solution: curried fried rice filled with fresh coriander, spring onions, and chilli chutney, topped with fresh tomatoes and a perfectly runny fried egg.

I picked up our professional painter for church this morning. He was outside waiting when I arrived. As he got in the car, I could see that he was listening to General Conference on his mobile. He said he'd been listening after work every day for a week. Baptised soon, I think!
We had four non-member visitors with us in sacrament meeting this morning, three for their first time. One of them, a professional painter, was given a Book of Mormon in another city, looked us up, and came on his own. He said he'll be back next week. I would come back too!
