Very cool! Well for starters on Monday we had a birthday
party of one of the youth in our ward. He turned 17. He is really cool and
helps us out a ton! The houses here are really small! And all of them! But that
doesn’t stop anyone! We shoved a ton of people in one room about the size of
1.5 little TV rooms. It was a lot of fun! They had a ton of food also and an Xbox...
we couldn’t play :(. Well the party started late and so we were asked to sing a
song quickly, the 4 missionaries. And then we had to leave to get home on time.
Tuesday I received my packages and letters from Grandma and Sister Morrison! I receive
an apron with my name, a pillow case of the Cardinals a bunch of candy!
Christmas socks and tie (a little late but that’s okay. I still wore them! ) A
big Gracias to all that sent me letters they were really great and I really appreciate
it!
So in the morning we have started waking up early to go to
the church and play basketball. I have being doing running exercises and
drills. I really want to lose this beer gut that I have. Sometimes it goes away
for a little bit and I feel really skinny and then the next day I look at
pictures and I look fat. Haha! But it’s okay. With time I will lose it! So one
of the Elders we play with Elder Gines is super tall and already has a
scholarship and a place on the team at Dixie College. And the other day he went
up to dunk the ball, and well he dunked it. But he also broke the hoop. Haha! But
yeah, it was really funny! Luckily we have two hoops! One day, on Saturday, We
went to help out the family of our investigator Florencia. 12 year old girl
that wants to be baptized this Sunday! So we went by the business to help out
at 8 in the morning. We helped unload the truck. We put the fruit and
vegetables up and out for display and cleaned up a little bit. What ever they
asked. We really wanted to build the trust with the family and the parents.
On Wednesday. We took Florencia to a member’s house to have
a lesson so we could feel the spirit a little stronger and everything. The
lesson went really well. We taught the Gospel of Christ and why it is important
that we are baptized. And she felt the spirit super strong" She cried and
said that she can feel the change in her life. That she isn’t the same
Florencia that she used to be and she can see the change in the parents also! It’s
super awesome to see Experiences like this! And this Sunday she came to church
again and so if everything goes well we will be having a baptism this Sunday! And
we have transfers on Tuesday after! Talk about last minute! But it’s super
awesome! Please pray as much as you can! Her name is Florencia Campos!
So on Wednesday we had District meeting. And the District
leader asked me to prepare something about Humility. So we got to district
meeting like normal. And one elder talked about the BOM and he was using an institute
book or something like that. And the Zone leaders (oh yeah the zone leaders
were there) stopped him and said. Hey I know these books are good and aren’t
bad but can you please teach out of Preach my Gospel. And when he was done the district
leader stopped and said I don’t feel good. Can we say a prayer and restart. So
we prayed and he talked a little more and gave the rest of the time to me. I
was lucky because everything I had prepared was straight out of PMG. Haha. And
so it went really well. On Friday my district leader asked me how I feel about
being senior companion this next transfer. And so yeah things are going pretty
well-. Haha!
That’s about it! I have transfers next week so if wont be on
until Tuesday! Love ya! Stay safe
