Transfers

Alright ya'll, I'm going to put more effort into this one. Sorry for the lack there of for the past couple months. I've just been adjusting to a new area, new challenges, and new opportunities to grow. I want to extend the invitation to anyone who wants to write me an email! I would love to hear how you guys are doing. I've had the opportunity to hear some experiences from ya'll back home, and I'm truly inspired!! Anyways, let's get into the week. 

    These past few weeks have been kind of a blur! We've had a couple baptisms and some really progressing people pop up! It really is amazing to see the way the Lord prepares people's hearts to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'll share some highlights!

Highlights

- Brother Terrence and Sister Shannel were baptized 2 weeks ago!! It was amazing to hear their testimony and how much the gospel means to them. 

- We've been able to help a few of our friends overcome their Word of Wisdom problems. I have so much respect for them. It's so hard, but I've seen their desire to follow Jesus Christ really help them change. 

- Nanay Rose is our "golden investigator". She was literally just handed to us. For real. We found her on exchanges and invited her to church. Two weeks later, we figured out that she had come to church that sunday!! We've been visiting her two or three times and we'll be extending baptism this week!!

- Brother Bong came to church week for the first time! We were surprised since we didn't even invite him haha. We'll be focusing on him this week!

- I got my new comp Elder Magdua. He's a dog. 

Hard stuff

- My comp got transferred
- I got sick but I still have to lead an area and like 30 other missionaries haha


Scripture of the Week

1 Corinthians 3:16

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
    
I just like this verse a lot. We've used this quite a few times in our teachings!!


Pictures in another email!


Peace

    Hey ya'll! Honestly, this week was a hard week. But, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have a couple things that I don't think I would have realized or attributed to God were it not for the struggle! Lets get into the week!     So we started off the week with two exchanges! Which means we as leaders have another companionship come to our area and we show them how we are having success and also to learn from them!! I learned a ton from both of them. They are both great Elders. We were able to teach sister Mardel and find a lot of new friends!!     The rest of the week was super interesting. We tried to do what we usually do and just go to all of our friends in one day, but literally no one was available. We felt like we were getting very little work done. On Saturday we were traveling around the Zone doing baptismal interview's! Which is ( in hindsight ) a blessing. At the time we were worried about not be able to work in our area. But. We are so bl...
