Hey everyone! This
week has been a little bit crazy
First of all we are at
the end of Elder Johnson’s mission and he is going to be flying home on Thursday,
and I will be entering my last 6 weeks until I go home! It is crazy how fast
that is coming! And to top it all off I am getting moved to a new area for my
last transfer, so we will be turning over all of our investigators to the Metairie
Spanish guys. I’ll be heading over to the West Bank with Elder Hansen to finish
off the mission. But I am excited because I will still be in a Spanish ward, so
that will be awesome!
Another fun update
this week is that K and her family are continuing to read the Book of Mormon
and I think things are going to go really well with them in this transfer. I just
hope she can find a way to make it to church, because that is all she needs to
get her and her family ready to be baptized, so everyone pray for K that she
will be able to get work off to come to church, or that she will be able to
find a new job that gives her Sunday’s off. It’s sad every time we go over
because she really wants to come to church, but it is hard to get anything to
go your way as a Hispanic working in the states. Again keep her and her family
in your prayers
I had a good
experience this last Saturday on exchanges with Elder Cannon. I was able to
spend part of the day down in Kenner with him. It was an interesting one. We
knocked a bunch of doors and got bashed a few , but we also met a lot of good
people. One of my favorites was one lady we talked to who when we did our
little spill at the door, she kind of sighed, rolled her eyes and then said we
could give her a short message. So we jumped right into it and for some reason
we started with Joseph Smith’s story right away, instead of talking about
prophets and all of that before. We told her about how Joseph realized there
should only be one true church on the earth since Christ only established one
true church, and then we went through his whole search for truth and first
vision. It was awesome to watch how she changed right before our eyes as we
talked. She went from being annoyed and uninterested, to listening
attentively and drinking in the story. By the end, after we testified, she
told us she for sure wants us to come back and talk to her more about our
church and everything. It is amazing to see how the spirit can change someone
in the blink of an eye when they hear about what God has for them.
Haha and then this
morning we had some fun times exploring an abandoned factory that is a stones
throw away from our apartment. It was way fun and a little sketchy. We walked
around in some of the old dark rooms that had no windows, and the only light
was from our phones. It was an awesome time, and it was really cool to explore
it even if sometimes we thought we might die in the dark haha.
