It's crazy to think there's only a couple short weeks left in the transfer, it's gone by way too fast. I can't believe I've already been in Shadow Creek a whole month. Our focus is to keep up the hard work and hopefully commit someone to baptism by the end of the year.
This
week we did a lot of work with our members. We had opportunities to do service
for them and help them fellowship their friends who may be struggling a bit in
their lives. We've been able to build our relationship with the ward members
and then been able to have them help us out in our missionary work.
We
had a pretty cool miracle happen at the store with the other missionaries the
other day. As we were walking around trying to talk to people and doing our own
browsing, a guy came up to us and said he knew who we were. He had said
his name was Arthur, and that he'd met the brothers while living in Sacramento
and showed us pictures he'd gotten all over the place with missionaries. He
said he'd love to play basketball with us sometime and for us to share a
spiritual message. Then, the worker he asked to take a picture for us said that
she may be interested in learning more about Christ exchanged phone numbers
with us and hopefully we can teach her at some point.
Another
pretty sweet part of my week was getting to see Ken a couple of times. We saw
him at his new care facility and he seemed to be doing alright. Sadly, he'll
have to go back to his group home in his old area but at least I got to check
up and see how he's been. I know he was struggling a bit not talking with us
for a while so I'm sure we were able to bless him just a little bit with our
visits.
I'm
excited to see what other tender mercies and miracles the Lord has for us the
next couple weeks as we finish the work needed to be done this transfer and get
ready for the work ahead afterward.
