Dear Everyone,
This week was cool. Can't quite
think of anything out of the ordinary that happened. I feel like the days are
just starting to blur together, it's kinda weird. Thanks, looking forward to
getting the calendar, did you send the flag as well by any chance?
We are doing
pretty great as a ward. It looks like we are having a bunch of baptisms this
month. Like I had said in one of the last emails, Victoria postponed her
baptismal date to this upcoming Sunday. And this seems a lot more sure now, so we are super excited. It's been pretty neat to see how people change as time
goes on and as the open up. Goes to show, people really can change!
Oh now I remember something cool
that happened. So we had exchanges this past week and I went with our new
district leader, Elder Ostler. The exchange started off kinda rough since he
lost his planner and we couldn't really plan anything until the morning. So we
finally got all set up in the morning and ready to go. We had a decent
afternoon, nothing too crazy. A member who wanted us to go by his wife had us
over for dinner. I was about to explode. And I'm gaining some good weight now.
Anyways! We ate and then began our lesson. Everything was going pretty
fantastic. Actually really great! She said the prayer and began to cry, spirit
was awesome. We had given her a baptismal invite before she said the prayer,
but that was it. But then after the prayer, I had this really strong prompting
to give her a date for the 26th of January. Which was a bit strange for me.
Especially since I had no idea what date Elder Ostler wanted for her. But I
couldn't ignore it. Elder Ostler was starting to set up the appointment for
next time they could go over, but I (nicely) cut him off and followed that
prompting. And she accepted it! It was pretty crazy cool. I was hoping Elder
Ostler wasn't going to be upset that I went rogue and set a random date, but it
turned out, that was the exact date he wanted to set with her, but wasn't going
to until later. So that was cool. Spirit is awesome.
We only have about 2 weeks
left in the transfer and I have a strong feeling I'm going to get moved so I am
trying to make the most of what I have left. This week we are having an
Ex-Mission President from San Diego, the one from the District 2 (videos I had
to watch before I came out) who is going to teach us something or something
like that so that should be nice.
Love you all!
ps good to hear everyone I have
ever talked to is reading this hahah. Chao!
