It has been a crazy last couple of weeks filled with some awesome experiences and it's been really fun! I was able to see Gods had in my life as I continue to progress and then see it help our people we are working with! I'm loving Terryville so far and Elder Powell. He's already one of my favorite companions and we get it done together. Time is flying out here its crazy!
Last week we saw something way cool happen as we decided where we were going for the night. We had a lady who had requested a Book of Mormon and that night seemed right to go over even tho she wasn't answering. So we were planning on trying to contact her and then just work in her area. When we got there we saw a family at the house who had all their stuff on the front lawn. We asked what was up and if the needed help. They had just got evicted and we're moving all there stuff to a place where it wouldn't get wet and they were trying to find what they needed. There just happen to be Nina's (the lady we had BOM for) neighbors. We helped them for the rest of the night really. They had a son who was about 15 and we talked to him about ball and got his mind of everything. They are such an awesome family and they were so grateful for what we did. When we were almost done, Nina came out and asked who we were and saw us helping. I was able to go off to the side and talk with her. She was so impressed what were doing and wanted to listen so I taught her quickly about the Book of Mormon and how it could change her life while my companion was still grinding! Nina felt the spirit strong and wants us to come back. She had to reschedule because of her health but we should be seeing her soon and the family we helped as well when they get everything together. Erik, the young son, is coming to play ball with us on Saturday. God puts you in places if you are humble enough to ask him. I'm still trying to overcome myself everyday and just let him work in my life. I'm not the best but it is a life changing thing and I invite you all to let him guide your life.
Sorry you get a long email cause it's been awhile. If you are still reading you are OG. Other highlights this week was the 4th, which was super fun. The members hook it up! Also thank you all for the birthday wishes. It was one of the best birthdays ever. I'm so grateful for all of you for my family and my grandmas and my friends and all the members here who made it amazing! Reggie this 82 year old homie took all of us elders out that night for steaks and lobster so that was pretty awesome!
Lastly Silvia is doing great. We had two lessons with her this week out of the Book of Mormon and she is starting to get her answer. She was literally about to come to church but then got a call that her granddaughter was in the hospital and she needed to be there...so this week is the one! She is progressing and so is her husband Herman! It's cool to see the people we are working with make changes in there lives and be willing. Cesar is a returning member we are working with who is trying to get back to church! Has been growing and it is such an example to me. Being friends and caring about someone works. We've spent a lot of time with Cesar, going to dinner, having lessons, playing ball, all kinds of things and his testimony has grown so much.....I wish you could all see it.
Everything is great out here. President Tuescher is amazing! We had zone conference with them yesterday and what he taught was amazing. He is powerful and I love him and know he was called here for a reason. I am super stoked to work with him!
Here's a ton of pictures. Shout out to Elder Chase Jensen and my boys coming to visit!
