First off, Happy Father's day to all the amazing fathers, and father figures, out there! Not only my own father, but I owe it to many of you guys for encouraging me and helping me get on a mission! The mission is tough at times, but I'm starting to see why people say it's the best 2 years of their lives. This week has been pretty crazy! Transfers are this week, and as you can see from the title... My companion and I were just called as District Leaders in our district! I'm super nervous, because I have only been out 3 months, but if there is anything I have learned on my mission this far, it's that the Lord will strengthen anyone who seeks it diligently. Here's how the week went!
Monday was just the casual p-day. Speedball, and hung out.
Tuesday was an AMAZING day! I went on exchanges with the zone leader, Elder Hutchison (he's a boss), and we went to the temple with our recent convert Bill! It was his second time going, and the temple is always just such a wonderful place to be.
Wednesday, we helped some non-members move some stuff out of their storage into the moving truck at 6 in the morning. They're moving to Ohio, and don't know anyone, because they are military, so they really needed help. It took us a while, and we still didn't finish!
Thursday morning, we helped them move again. This time we brought a few more missionaries, since they have SO much stuff. We were able to finish it off, and they bought us lunch afterward! The rest of the day we did some tracting, and had a lesson with a less-active member.
Friday, we had our correlation meeting, then we did our weekly planning. Later in the day, we met a young married couple, Wyatt and Adrian. Wyatt is a less active member, and his wife is not a member. We had a good little discussion, and they didn't seem interested in coming back, but they said we can drop by whenever.
Saturday, we were outside ALL day, trying to find people to teach, because we need to keep busy! We've been praying hard for miracles all week, and so far, nothing has happened, so we will be patient and keep praying! At night, we had a really powerful meeting with a return missionary, on how to be successful, not just on the mission, but in life. It was really good.
Sunday was a MIRACLE! Went to church like every Sunday, then later in the day we visited the NG's. Sister NG has a friend living with her now from California, and she received all the lessons from the missionaries there, but never got baptized. So, she agreed to having us come back later this week and teach her more! Then Sunday night, we visited Wyatt and Adrian again, and just asked if we can come in and share a quick message. After sharing about the plan of salvation, the spirit was so strong in there, and we knew they could feel it. They were super responsive to questions, and they were asking questions of their own. We invited Adrian to be baptized when she came to know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ, restored upon the earth, and she said she would! And we even told her that her husband could baptize her, and she seemed very excited! So, we need to keep praying for them that they will have softened hearts!
I appreciate all the love and support from everyone! Hope you all have a good week! Love you!
