你好，Pagbati, Hello Everyone!!
Another week another dollar or something like that I forgot the expression but I'm sure that works! This week has been a crazy week indeed so buckle up and let's get right into it!
Tuesday was crazy cause one of my two companions got transferred to another area just leaving me and my trainee together to do the work and then that night we went to the mission home and guess what?? I got some chips and salsa!! As well as talking to my favorite friends such as Sister Stott, Elder Arnold and Elder Curtis (The APs) and some of my other favorite people and picked up yet another trainee so now I had two trainees and me in the apartment! That was a fun night getting the other trainee settled in and getting him caught up on what was happening!
Well I survived having two trainees with me and the rest of the week we found like 4 new people to teach and taught like 5 or 6 lessons in one day and all of them went through which is a miracle!! Also we had fellowship at almost all of them which is another miracle!! Also almost put 3 people on date for Baptism which is yet another miracle!! A love being a missionary and seeing these miracles! Also had some good church attendance with a lot of people that aren't members that we can teach!
Saturday was also fun cause we had a ward party and so the other two Elders got to meet the members and I went around talking to the members catching up on good times and asking how we can help them and if there are any events happening in the near future and it was a lot of fun and we got some fresh Lechon!! (Pic below) It was very blessed!
Got transfer news today and I'm staying here and continuing to train Elder Nalder which is fun and I'm also going to lead out the district which will be a treat and it's such a blessing to serve fellow missionaries around me all the time! Also Elder Davis is staying in the apartment but getting Elder Soto as a trainer and opening up the South area!
Spiritual Thought:
Obedience is so important for being a missionary and really anything in general! Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ give us commandments to keep us safe and a way to follow and as we do so they bless us beyond our wildest dreams so stay obedient and see the blessings come to you! I know they will! Let God Prevail in your lives! Love you all so much!
