Good morning! This week was filled with so much success and was a ton of fun. Elder Ellis and I work really well together so I’m excited for this transfer Tuesday
Today was an awesome day with Elder Ellis. We found a new person to teach right off the bat while walking by the park. We are going back tomorrow. We went to lunch with some elders we haven’t seen in forever so it was good to see the boys. We had some stake meetings tonight with the Spanish elders. Those dudes are Goofy. When your comp and you are one in purpose the spirit is there and that’s something we have seen in one day.
Wednesday
We had an awesome day today finding some new people to teach. The girl that we found yesterday, we set her on date to be baptized on October 1st. I’ve been eating a ton with Elder Ellis to try and get big. My Tongan stomach has gone down so God bless. We are getting in shape now
Thursday
Tony’s was solid. We had our zone leadership meeting that went pretty well. The zone is struggling big time with baptisms so we are really focused on helping missionaries put people on date to be baptized. We have a new group of leadership and I’m excited to see how this next month goes. We have been working hard and having a ton of fun, hope we can turn the zone around.
Friday
We had a great zone council today and people actually participated for once. We knocked on some apartment doors in the afternoon and found a new person to come back and teach. Elder Ellis and I have seen a ton of success in our area and it’s been awesome to see the work pay off. Our zone is struggling big time right now with baptisms so we have been focusing on helping them invite more people to baptism. Cyprus high school in Magna had a homecoming game so we walked by and talked to some families outside of the game. Cyprus got whooped 45-6.
A dude cussed us out today for saying hi to him. Love to see it
Saturday
We had a service today with I swear half the mission at the highschool cleaning up trash. It rained on us too so it was freezing out. A ton of miracles happened today by just being in our area and talking to everyone. We found 2 more new people to teach so we ended off the week with 7. The best part is all of them have been taught about baptism so next week is going to be full of people being invited to be baptized. We got our car washed tonight at this place called ” Quick Quack” and we got some ties from the workers. They have to wear a white shirt and tie so we always say they look like missionaries. Now me and elder Ellis have carwash ties
Sunday
Today was a good Sabbath because we had 5 of our friends come to church. We walked with one of them to church which was awesome and we had a few more come to some other wards. We found 2 new people to teach today that are super interested in the gospel. This week was weirdly easy and we didn’t even do anything special. The lord works in mysterious ways. We had dinner at a familes house that apparently one of the guys plays pickleball with my uncle Jared. We took a photo and sent it to him. Small world
Spiritual thought:
D&C 49:7
I, the Lord God, have spoken it; but the hour and the day no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor shall they know until he comes
This time we have on earth is a time to prepare to meet the savior. It’s super easy to procrastinate the day of our repentance but with a world like we have today, we need to hold fast to that iron rod
