Family, friends, countrymen! lend me your ears!
This week and this month are successfully coming to an end. I can't believe that the time is going by so fast! It is so strange to me to think that the end of this transfer is going to be in two weeks. and then I will be on the downward slope. NOOOOOO!!!!!
Troy was baptized this week, it was an amazing experience to be a part of his conversion. I haven't felt the spirit that strongly in a metting in a very long time! It was one of the best experiences of my mission. Every week I hope i can come to this email and be a better more refined human being from the last time I spoke to ya'll. I feel like this last week I have accomplished this in a lot of ways! Our numbers in our key indicators didn't turn out amazing, but I have never felt more successful than I have this last week.
There were so many experiences where i felt led and guided. This week I am a more converted disciple of Jesus Christ, although I still have a long way to go!
Okay so let me tell you about all the amazing things going on in my life as a missionary!
So last week I met a famous guy named Jason Deere, he is the heart and soul of a really cool group called the nashville tribute band. We were able to talk to him and express our gratitude for the music he makes (we are allowed to listen to his stuff in our mission.) He got really emotional and just shared with us his love for the gospel and for this great missionary work! It was really amazing and i ended up getting some free mexican food out of it as well!
The next cool thing I want to share with you is what happened the other night as we were meeting with a less active fellow. We were in his home with his parents and we were just sharing a message with him (heleman 5:12) and then I was able to bear my testimony to him. There was an amazing calm that came over me as I shared with him how much his Heavenly Father loves him. I truly felt like the spirit was testifying to this boy through me! I love when these things happen and i get to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord.
The last thing I wanted to tell ya'll about was the Powder springs stake conference that went on this weekend! Elder Nelson spoke to 48 stakes in the southern part of the country, our stake was included. He spoke of the 9 facets of the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have never heard anyone speak so plain and simply but in a way that I learned so much!
I wish I could type up all of my notes and the things I learned but I don't have enough time right now... :(
Maybe ya'll can search and see if yo can find it on youtube or something haha
Well my dear family I love ya'll so much! Thank you for all the love and support you give to me! I hope ya'll have a fantastic week
love,
