Hey guys, I hope you
all have had an awesome July so far in the heat of Louisiana, Utah or where
ever else y’all are at.
This week we have had
a few fun things happen, first of all I got a new comp named Elder Gee, he is
from anchorage Alaska and is a pretty awesome missionary. I’m excited for this
next transfer with him.
First thing that
happened this week is a story from last p-day, what happened is that for Elder
Isrealsen's last transfer in Morgan City we decided to go out and take a swamp
tour (see pics). It was super fun! We got to go out on an air boat out into the
bayou and see all the crazy things that are out there. We got to see
alligators, odd birds, eagle’s nests, snakes, and a whole lot of plants. It was
a blast! If you ever make it to LA I’d recommend taking it, even if the Cajun
driver is a little bit nuts and starts petting the alligators.
Another fun thing this
week is that we ran into a family that has a nephew on a mission to Puerto Rico
I think, or it could have been Costa Rica, I’m not sure. But anyways we were
able to have a good lesson with them and teach them a little bit about
what their nephew is doing on the mission (they are nonmembers themselves) so
hopefully that connection to the church helps them to progress in the gospel!
Another great thing
from this week is that one of the Spanish members from the branch that fell off
the face of the map for 5 weeks came back to church again this last week, which
was great. Her name is J and she is one of the few Spanish members of the
branch that doesn’t speak a lick of English so she relies on her daughter to
communicate with the branch but her daughter (V) doesn’t want to have to
translate all day, so we get the opportunity to translate for sacrament meeting
which is a great way to practice Spanish!
Well that is it for
the week, I hope y’all have an awesome rest of your summer, have a blessed
week!
