oi!
alright so this week has been a crazy one! In all honesty it has been one of the longest ones of my mission. We had just so many miracles happen, good lessons and just some great times. The biggest thing that happened though… our investigators mom Died this week of a stroke. I can’t even tell you how sad that is to meet this kid who is 16, has such great faith, and is always super excited to learn more and more, and then four weeks later have his mom pass and the impact that had on him. He is a trooper though let me tell you! Don’t get me wrong, this experience has been a testimony builder. We had the chance to teach him all about the plan of salvation before all this happened and he has shown to me that you don’t have to be a 5-10 year member to have unshakable faith in our Heavenly Father and his plan for us! I am so privileged to have met him and support him through this. oh and to top it off… he actually lives in the zone leaders area so they are teaching him now…. so yeah haha! 🙂 i love life its so crazy, The eternal perspective makes all these crazy times just so much fun! i know that its all going to work out!
This week was actually the first week of the transfer, i am with Elder Lindahl again which i am so stoked about you have no idea! We have seen so many miracles together and im sure we will see many more! so we had 3 investigators with a Date but like i said we had to give up one haha 🙂 One is named Travis he is legit as every still going strong! we fasted with him yesterday to have his moms heart softened so he might be able to get baptized. i will keep you updated on him 🙂 then we have shonu…. oh she is a fun one 🙂 she has such a crazy sense of humor that its almost hard to teach her but the more i teach her the more i love her and know that she really does have faith. she has a lot of faith and even though she isn’t the "Golden Investigatory" everyone is always talking about she is the best! I have been blessed to find and meet such amazing people while i have been on my mission 🙂 i Love them all!
So yeah, this week has been and good one! it has had its hard parts but even those are just amazing learning and testimony building experiences. I want you all to know Just a few simple things but things that have more effect than we know: Our Heavenly Father loves us, We are LITERAL Sons and Daughters of our Father in Heaven, he has prepared for us a plan that is so incredibly merciful, and with the knowledge of this plan we can look forward through so many daunting trials and know, all is well. i love my savior, and i love you all! Peace! till next week!
