Coming Right Along 12/28/2022

 This transfer has started off with a bang. We are gonna see some crazy awesome blessings and miracles this transfer if everything turns out as planned. 

 

Tuesday we were out biking for over 7 hours, which was exhausting. However, we got to put both Martin and Brayden on date for baptism which was super awesome. We also got in contact with a lot of other friends as well, so it was a super successful and miracle-filled day. 

 

We went to district council on Wednesday and got to meet our district members. We also had dinner that night with the Ruiz family and went to mutual for a bit. 

 

Thursday we got in contact with a lot of people while biking around. Being seen on bikes makes finding a whole new ball game. We see a lot more success when doing so. 

 

Friday morning we went to Royalty Church and helped out with a food truck service there. That day we also had a good lesson with our friend Anaika who will hopefully be ready for baptism soon. 

 

Saturday I had a really weird, but cool experience. We went to teach the Alikas, and I remember reading out of the Book of Mormon with them. I was tired, so I drifted in and out of consciousness the whole time. Next thing I remember, we were standing up ready to leave the house and go back home. Well, thats not all that happened. I must have been taken away in the Spirit or something, cause apparently I had boldly invited them all to be baptized with suggested dates, and had said the closing prayer, neither of which I could even remember doing at any point. So that was pretty crazy.

 

Later that day, we put our friend Leo on date. His only question he asked during the lesson was if he could join our church, so of course we said yes. We also taught Martin again and met a lady named Mar to teach. 

 

Sunday I got to bear my testimony at church and introduce myself to members and friends. That evening was a stake Christmas devotional, and I got to see lots of other missionaries and members from my old areas. 

 

Monday we played basketball in the morning with the Elders in my district for a bit. In the afternoon, the Rascons invited all our zone over for a Christmas devotional and white elephant gift exchange. It was fun seeing what random junk missionaries had lying around in their apartment to give away to other missionaries. 

 

It was a super awesome week and I'm so grateful for everything God has done for me and missionary work this past week and in this area.
