Awesome week for sure!! Bynum run is
super great, we are working hard, and having a blast while doing it! First,
Elder Selk and I are going to be with each other another transfer! Elder Stone
is leaving which really stinks! I was called to be the district leader. Elder
Kershaw is also leaving the district. So that means Elder Coombs is training
and Elder Ferrell gets put with Elder Hulme(from my mtc) So that is our
district and I am super excited for this transfer!
It was sick to see Melissa and her family on Thankgiving! President said they could come and see me and Elder Selk so that was way sweet and we got to ball and play games!!
I have forgotten the days this week
honestly. But basically we went over to Dee and Maria's house everyday. Got
them ready for their baptism. We had the Zone Leaders instruct us on Tuesday.
That was sweet. We had mutual on Wednesday, and a sweet first lesson with
Nicole, a new investigator. She also came to church and the baptism. So she is
really solid, going through a divorce right now. Has 3 kids. Hopefully we will
put her on date soon.
Sunday. This was a crazy day! Woke
up, studied, went to the church, had ward correlation with the ward mission
leader(Bro Harris, was called last week and a way sweet guy, just moved in the
ward) after that was ward council. Then church at 1. Had Danny, d and maria,
and nicole, and another gator, Bro Harris (old guy). He loves to talk, it was
fast and testimony meeting so he went up there and it was not good at all.
Hahah it was very awkward and long. Bishop had to ask him to sit down. Hahah I
was trying not to bust up laughing. I was in the back waiting for a sweet
family to come but they didn't. After church we had the baptismal service. It
went awesome! I baptized Maria and Elder Selk baptized Diamonte or Dee.
Knocked on this door, testified of Book of Mormon and
blessing it brings. Chris was his name, 22 from Brazil. Said we could come back
and he would read it. Also said he had some struggles. An hour later at like 8:45 we got a text
from him saying that he had been struggling with a job and life but he read the
Book of Mormon for a little and a couple minutes later got a call saying he got
a job and he starts the next day. We are meeting with him tonight and we are
pumped and he is pumped to learn more! Power of the Book of Mormon is real!!!!
Read it and the Lord promises us blessings!!
So that is it mainly. I'm in Bynum
for another transfer which will put me here till Jan 16th. 4 and a half
months here at least. I love it. Hope y'all are doing good!!
