Hey guys!
It's been getting pretty cold out here in Jersey. But we are still
pressing on! This was the last week of the transfer so we had a few
changes in the district, a few goodbyes, but still, it was a great
week!
Tuesday and Thursday, we saw the Davis family and taught the kids
simple things like the Godhead and Families. It's really great because
teaching the gospel in basic terms is how it should always be. With
kids, that just sticks out. They always have good questions and really
do want to listen.
Wednesday, we saw the Williams Family, who are members in the ward.
However, Sister Williams hasn't been to church for a few months. She
works at a hotel and says she could never get Sundays off. But we
promised her if she asked to get Sundays off. What was so awesome was
yesterday, she was at church! She put our promise to the test and she
was able to get off. I love promising people blessings as we invite
them to keep commitments, it just feels like it always comes true. It
also feels like there is a divine power that backs it up as well as we
promise them a blessing in keeping a commitment.
Thursday and Sunday, we took Elder Thomas to Philadelphia. I'll be
honest, it is something else driving through Philadelphia. You learn
so much! But anyway, the reason we did was on Thursday we dropped him
off so he could go to the temple on Friday, because all the departing
missionaries get to go to the temple before they go home. Sunday was
the finisher! It was so great, because we met the Assistants at the
Philadelphia Temple and it was such a great sight.
Saturday, we also saw David Garduno. We started teaching him about
temples and he is on his way to getting ready! I'm excited for him and
hopefully we can get him there. That will be a really exciting time.
Also, before we took Elder Thomas home, we taught Relief Society on
Missionary Work.....and our Stake President was our escort because we
need a guy in the room full of sisters. Even though it was different
on a many different levels, we had a great time getting all the
sisters ready for the Holidays and what they can do to spread the
gospel!
Also, transfer calls were Friday and I am not getting transferred!
Neither is Elder Harris. So we will be together for another six weeks.
Which means I will be in Moorestown for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
the New Year! It'll be a good transfer. I'm excited to find new people
and hopefully get a baptism!
Well, Thanksgiving is this week! We have a lot of plans to go to a lot
of houses. I can't wait!
I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving and a great break. I hope
all is well back home. Take care and have a great holiday!
