Unusual District Meeting




Last night we didn't go to Reykjavik due to the weather and change in plans of the YSA's we were to take. Today we woke to even worse weather. I called Valla and Gummi and asked how the drive to work was this morning and she said we haven't gone yet as we are waiting for the roads to be cleared and watching the winds. I then asked Gummi if the Elders should come from Reykjavik for our District Meeting this morning and he said NO. So it was decided to do the meeting via Skype. The Reykjavik Elders went to the Koyle's apartment and the Selfoss Elders came to our apartment. The pictures are (1)the missionaries in Reykjavik, (2)Elder Walsh and Elder Fillmore presenting their teaching assignment and (3)listening as Elder Smith taught. Sometimes we just have to use unusual means to accomplish the work.

One blessing of last nights weather was the Elders called on me to teach Nina as the member who was scheduled to be there was stuck in Reykjavik. It was a blessing to again teach Nina. When we have people to teach who are willing to listen and keep commitments as Nina does, the Spirit is also present during the teaching. We all felt the Spirit and she accepted the commitment to be baptized. What a joy to see people come unto Jesus and accept His gospel.
