I just want to update you with everything that is going on over here
in Kutztown. It has been great over here as of late. The Lord truly is
blessing us as we continue to serve diligently.
Throughout the week, we have been meeting with members of the ward who
we want to prepare to go to the temple. One of these people is sister
Donio. She is a great lady who teaches primary.
We had such a great lesson on Tuesday about the temple and she is
planning to get the process going for that! It was nice because the
hour before we tracked and so many people had some pretty colorful
this to say about us, so that was a tender mercy in and of itself.
Later that day, we tracted into guy named John and his brother Darrien
who listened to our message on the Restoration. However, we were
interrupted by John's girlfriend who did not want us there. But it was
a tender mercy we were able to teach, even if it was only for 5
minutes.
On Thursday, we met this less active named Carlos Vargas. He is in
our apartment complex and the ward has no information on him. He
hasn't been to church in 7 years! He has a fiancé and a 5 year old son
who aren't members, so we are really excited to start teaching them.
The other special miracle we saw was that we visited Noel again and
had a great discussion on the Plan of Salvation. At the end of the
lesson, we committed him to be baptized in March! It was so exciting
and such a blessing. He is the first person we have committed to a
date this whole transfer. It's been a blessing this whole week because
even though we have been going through 13 degree weather, rain, and
snow, the Lord opens many doors for us all the time.
I'm sorry this email is going to be short. Elder Maughan is getting
transferred tomorrow so we are taking care of a lot of things here in
Kutztown. Which means I'm getting a new companion! His name is Elder
Thielen. I have no idea who he is, but I will find out tomorrow! We
will see what happens this upcoming week. It's supposed to snow 5-8
inches, so let's hope we can get a lot of work done. Stay warm! I
certainly will try.
