First Exchanges

I hope you all enjoyed your week. This week literally flew by that's for sure so that was awesome!

 

 

So this week we went on exchanges for the first time that means we get to go with another companion for a day and kinda get to have a "break" from our other companion. Aha I'm just kidding exchanges bring someone else to there area and just we see lots of miricles for sure. We had people me and elder Kennedy had been trying to contact for the longest time finally open their doors and it truly was an amazing day!

 

 

We taught this one lady we have on date the word of wisdom and she committed to live it. We then felt prompted to go and visit her one night and we found out that she wasn't totally living it. We had just taught it but she really has had a tough time with it so she really wanted us to say a prayer. Even though she may have been intoxicated all her friends even came out and we said a prayer they still wanted to feel the spirit I guess and I think the spirit was really chastising them and so we said a prayer. We have been really praying for her and hoping she is able to come around.

 

 

We also went to the temple this week with Josselyn! She is so amazing she brought her daughter and they loved the temple. We talked about eternal families and talked about what we do in the temple. She really likes the temple and said she could really feel the spirit there. She is still on date for the 26th so we are super excited for her. When we left one of the first things she asked was when can we go back aha she really enjoyed it!!

 

 

Also another beautiful thing we saw this week was a boy named Cameron we are working with. He has been through so much in this last year it's crazy we have been talking with him and just being his friend and being there for him. He hasn't been to church in a long time before we met him but we started meeting with him and he started to come to church. He then all by himself went to the bishop got interviewed and now just yesterday day me and elder Kennedy were able to participate in ordaining him to the office of a priest. It has been such and amazing experience to see him grow and his mom pulled us aside and was soo grateful for all we've done. We impacted him in a way I would've never thought.

 

 

This just truly showed me that I'm here to meet certain people to help them in their lives. 

 

 

And also that we never truly know the impact that we have on people. We may have done something so small or something we didn't think was a big deal but to someone else it meant the world. So this week I wanna challenge you all to help someone out. Do something for someone even when it might be hard for you. I can promise you that as you do that you will have an impact on someone's life and it will help them out greatly. Love you all and I hope you all have a great week! Sorry this weeks email is a little short just a bit pressed for time.

So that'll be keeping us busy this week.     We had a really cool activity on Wednesday with the youth! We all did a big service scavenger hunt around the area. It was lots of fun. We got to know more of the people around and just help people out. We even got to know some of the youth which was great.      We really are trying to work with them and help them prepare for missions! Let's see we also had some really good lessons with Diana. She is doing amazing. She really has just grown to love the Gospel and she is super ready for the 24th! We even have started to teach her Granddaughter who is interested in learning more.

It was Christmas of course and I hope you all had a great Christmas I know j did(: The calls home were good and also all your Christmas greetings were greatly appreciated thank you(:     We had all our appointments fall through on the night of Christmas which I mean hey to be expected I guess. No worries there though we kept on working and are seeing the blessings there from that. We had to push our baptisms from last Saturday to this Saturday since there was lots of stress and such happening in the family. We want their baptism to be a stress free and good experience so we are excited for them this week.     We also picked up a new person who us really progressing. Its actually Yedis friend!!

Quarantine Life

Hey Everyone hope you're staying safe and healthy! This virus certainly has taken the world by surprise but have no fear The Prophet of God is here!!     I love President Russell M. Nelson he is truly our Prophet here on the earth. This past week we had the amazing opportunity to hear from him and many other of the apostles of the church in General Conference. It was amazing we got to learn alot about the Restoration of the Gospel. Being the bicentennial of Joseph Smiths First Vision and really the Church being restored on the earth! If you didn't have an opertunity to hear the Words of the Prophet then I'd encourage you to read/watch them once they're posted on the website.     https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng     But pretty much we've been doing the same old same old. In our apartment and texting, calling you name it if we can reach out on technology we will try! Haha! It's been good though we've seen some cool miracles. Today we had a guy ju...
