Hello Friends and Family
Well, here we are at transfers again. Again, what happened to me? What is my fate?
Well...
Nothing. Yup. Nothing. Still here. Still with Elder Perez. Honestly, I'm glad I'm here still because there are some amazing people we are working with, and I want to keep teaching them the discussions and aiding in their conversion. There are great people here.
Honestly, transfers are way less exciting when nothing is really happening to you. Here's to another 6 weeks!
Tonight we had a Family Home Evening with a member family, and their investigating neighbors. The investigators have been coming to church these past 3 weeks and they have had a hard time scheduling appointments with us, but we finally taught the mom and her kids at this FHE. The spirit was very strong and very present. We also set up another time to meet with the whole family. It is so cool. They have been fellow-shipped like crazy by the ward members, who also happen to be their next door neighbors for quite a ways. They will be fun to help and work with.
There is another family we are working with. They recently moved here from California. They had talked the day before they moved that they wanted to start going to church and taking their kids there too. They both knew and agreed that The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-Day Saints was the one they wanted to join. Well, they moved here to Henderson.
When they were moving in, my companion and his previous companion ran into them and they were excited because they were going to reach out to the Missionaries anyways. The Lord works in mysterious, but awesome ways. I have had the opportunity to help this family progress towards conversion and finding lasting joy. It has been awesome! They have receive the restored gospel very well, and will progress further as they strengthen their faith in Christ.
There is a part-member family that missionaries have been working on for a while. The dad is a member and is progressing towards receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood. The mother is not a member but she goes to church, and believe it or not, has a calling in the "activity days". They have left it up to their children to decide if they want to get baptized. The oldest son, a deacon, was baptized a year ago, and the next oldest is soon to graduate primary and go onto young women's, wants to get baptized as well. We have been teaching and helping this family progress and it has been awesome! They are all progressing and we have been able to see the blessings and the subtle changes in this family as they start to return back to Heavenly Father.
We have this single mother and her two daughters who have members who are their friends down the street, and she has started taking lessons and even agreed to come to church next Sunday. She is a super nice lady and her daughters have actually been to church already. The prior missionaries had struggled to keep in contact, and one day me and Elder Perez were out working on Saturday and felt that we should stop by her place. She happened to be in her garage and she agreed to hear the message of the restoration! She had begun reading the Book of Mormon and next time we will teach her more and help her strengthen her faith. It is awesome!
The Lord is providing us with so many opportunities to help and serve others. I am deeply humbled by all of the many blessings I have seen this transfer, and I await the great many things that are to come. I am so grateful for these things. The Lord works wonders in modern day.
Well, that is all for now . I am happy, healthy, and working. I have learned a lot and have been truly blessed. I have found that having an eye of faith and getting my boots on the ground have produced many great and wonderful blessings. It is an Honor to serve My God.
