What a week it has been here in New York! Also I know it's been an awesome week back home! Congrats to my bro and Jenny on their marriage!! Those pics looked amazing and you guys are perfect for each other. I can't wait to meet Jenny! My cardboard cut out was looking pretty fine👌 It's so sick to see my boy Parker getting back! I can't believe it and to be honest it's pretty weird, but I'm pumped for you Park. Keep it chillin and I'll see you soon! 3 of the 9 are home....one third of the way there!
Anyways I wish I could update you on all that has happened but it's been so much so I will try and hit some main points! First we are having a baptism on Saturday!!! Let's Go!! It's my dude named Bennet. He is such a stud and has been through a lot. The elders have taught him and he's so converted and the change in him is like nothing I've ever seen. Keep Bennet in your prayers! I'm so pumped for Saturday!
Sorry I forgot to mention that my companion Elder Powell got transferred and so did the sisters and another elder in our district so we know have just 2 missionaries in Terryville where we used to be 6. It's just me and my companion Elder Roderick and we have been busier than ever....all we do is teach. It's been way cool and exhausting. I'm so grateful for the scriptures and the amazing members here that treat us like family and keep us pushing along. It's been amazing. My new comp Elder Roderick is from Goodyear AZ and he has been out for a little over a year. He was already in my district so I knew him a little and we we've hit the ground running! We definitely are going to have success and I'm excited for the next little bit!
Like I said, we have so many people to teach cause Terryville is all ours. I wish I could talk about them all, but really cool news is Silvia has committed to September 22 to be baptized. She is so prepared and she taught herself about tithing the other day! Keep her in your prayers and hopefully that date will be sooner! Adrian, our investigator from Peru, came to church again and I'm super pumped for him. I just thank you all for all your prayers. I love you all so much and I feel the difference because you are all praying for me and I pray for you all daily.
I was reading from Matthew 13 and I invite you all to read the parables found there and ask yourself which person are you. I know how much daily scripture study makes a difference when you sincerely try and learn from it. If you are wondering about anything or searching for something, the scriptures are where you will find it. But anyway y'all I'll send a few pics! Take care and will talk to you soon!
