This morning, dropping off Anziano Gay |
Hey
Family!!!!
This week
we heard about the elections. As missionaries, we have given the response above
to like 500 people who wanted to know our opinions about it. Anyways, it was
really funny on Tuesday when we got asked about it and we asked in return,
"Who won?"
The work
this week went pretty well. Kinda like the normal rollercoaster - there were
ups and downs. C is gone...he didn't show up to our appointment and he wasn't
at church this Sunday, so I guess if he shows up, he does. If not...that's
laaammmme. Then we did a bunch of finding this week, and it went well. We found
6 new investigators and a bunch of new contacts, so we hope all goes well with
them. Sadly, this week we didn’t have anybody in church, but we hope for next
week as we invite all these new investigators.
Interesting
happenings this week...Saturday we went Caserta to go to the baptism of E from
Togo. He is actually a part of our branch, so we might be doing the new convert
lessons with him. His son will probably do those with us and he can see if he
wants to be baptized too. That would be great.
Napoli has so many Nativity scenes for Christmas. It's super famous. |
Anyways,
today Anziano Gay "died" (completed his mission and is heading home) and so
this week we will be in a trio with Anziano Spencer. So it should be
interesting. My tribute to Anziano Gay is that he was a great missionary who gave
his all to the work, and in the end saw miracles. I think he is a great example
for all of us.
With
Anziano Gay dying, we see that transfers are this week. We will get our calls
tonight. I am hoping and thinking I will stay. Anziano Youngblood and I work
together really well and are great friends. We will for sure get a new ZL, so
that will be at least one change to our District. I am so excited for this next
transfer, because we are gonna hit it so hard. Every change in the mission is
great because I can change something to become better during those times.
My
thought today is that everyone reading this should take a bit of time and read
the talk, "If Ye Had Known Me" by Elder Bednar. It is a great talk
and a great place to start growing in our relationship with Christ. (Click here to read or listen to this talk).
We might
be going to the catacombs today. We will see!!! I love all of you!
Love,
Anziano
