WEEK 58 : Enjoyment!







Hello friends!

So I gave this the subject of enjoyment because honestly I'm enjoying this area, my new companion, and ward members so much. In fact I'm enjoying so much the days seem to go by fast and the weeks go by faster. I can't believe I'm already on week 4 of this transfer because it just feels like I barely got here! But yeah this area is sweet. The lessons aren't plenty but the people we are teaching are powerful.

We have two who I know will for sure be baptized, because they are just so ready. The members in this area are the best! Especially the bishop. Such a cool guy. My companion is Elder Brown from Ghana. Everyone tells me how jealous they are of me for having him as a companion.He really is a cool guy and we have so much fun together. I kinda feel bad too because he is always serving me and I haven't been so good at serving him back. Like when we went to MLC (a training meeting) I went to go get my shoes and they were polished already. One day I saw that he made my bed.  One night I was so tired I just got in my bed and didn't even put down my mosquito net. When I woke up my mosquito net was covering me. When I was sick one day he forced me to give him my bag so he could carry it for me. There are also so many other examples. I've been trying to think of ways to serve him back but I keep drawing blanks. I thought about ironing his shirt for him but I'm not sure if that would be a service at all because I'm so bad at ironing. I also have thought about making him breakfast, which I would only have time to do on Sunday but as we all know Sunday was fast Sunday so I wasn't able to. But yeah I will keep brain storming! haha. But yeah he is super sweet and we really enjoy each other. Also in my apartment I have Elder Vaitu'ulala. He is part Tongan but born in America. This guy is also super cool. We gym every morning together and thats always a good time. So yeah... I'm enjoying

Well thats basically all this week, until next week. love you all!

Tanner's Farewell

Image
Tanners farewell was lovely.  He really did do a nice job on his talk.  It was fun to catch a glimpse of his personality sprinkled throughout yet he was respectful as well.  He has truly grown so much this past year and I'm sure he will grow even more these next two.   I'm very grateful my family were able to come.  I think he would have felt bad if nobody was able to be here.  We stay for all three meetings so we really didn't have much of a celebration after....just the family had lunch together and then we said good-bye.  I still tried to decorate a bit so he would feel special. Here is a copy of his talk.  I don't remember hearing the poem before but I really liked it. Good morning brothers and sisters. And thank you so much for all of you who showed up to support me. When I was a young boy my mom and I were in a bank. When we were sitting down with one of the workers at the bank they asked...

WEEK 7/104: Faith

Image
(I told Tanner from his pictures it looks like he was sent to a country inhabited solely by children!) Hey everyone!! So this week was very successful, well until the end but hey I will take it. We found 4 new investigators and received 1 referral. Three of the 4 investigators we found all in one place together and we have taught them twice throughout the week. And wow, they are powerful... they have really been prepared to learn about and receive the gospel.They ask so many questions and are just so ready to learn the truth. They go to a church but realize the things going on in that church are not right, so when we extended the invitation to come to our church they were not ready. They told us they have already made a poor choice once so they want to be sure before they decided again. The next time we meet Elder Johnson and I will share some scriptures with them that I came across during personal studies. It is found in Alma 32:21-33, 33:23. These s...

MERRY CHRISTMAS (12-23-19)

Hello Friends,  Afishapa!! That translates into Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have been listening to Christmas music a lot and I especially love the song that reads, "its the most wonderful time, of the year."... This is definitely a true and accurate statement, and as I reflected on why this is my thought lead me back to my Savior.  Christmas is about Christ, and it pains me when I see His name replaced with an X. If you have fallen given into this disrespectful temptation by placing this on social media posts, or text messages, or even posters, then I would invite you to quickly repent and put Christ back into your Christmas and lives.  That is not the only way we take Christ out of Christmas however. It is so easy to get caught into the worldly aspects such as presents, decorations or even delicious food, that we might even forget the origin of this joy.  Even I almost got caught up on this recently as I was planning an activity for s...
