Hey
all this week has been awesome!! At the
beginning of the week the trio got broken up... which was a sad day. But all things happen for a reason right?? I hope so. Well after that I got my new comp straight
from the MTC!!! Getting a new missionary
from the MTC is almost like being forced to play the lottery with a slim chance
of winning... so needless to say I was pretty nervous but I got him on Thursday
and he's such an awesome guy!!
It
honestly feels like he's been out for a whole lot longer than he actually has
been. Like we taught a couple lessons
this week to Sarrah and Chelsea and they were both really awesome!! We followed the spirit and it was awesome!! We were sitting in that lesson with Chelsea
and the spirit just hit me like a bus filled with lead and said, "talk
about priesthood and priesthood blessings" so we try to follow those
feelings, so we talk about priesthood for like 10 minutes and then finish
teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
After that is when baptism came up we talked to her about her desire to
be baptized and she told us she wants to be baptized and decided on the 11th of
November which is freaking awesome (because that’s my birthday)!!! And then at the end of the lesson she asked if
I would be willing to give her a priesthood blessing which I'm always willing
to do. So I gave her the blessing and it
was super great!! Anytime I get to
exercise my priesthood I feel incredibly grateful. But that whole lesson was completely guided by
the spirit which was such a good feeling.
Then
we taught Sarrah and it was super awesome!! Elder Jacklin and I taught in total
unity and it was awesome. We seemed to
help her with a lot of her concerns she had. All in all, it was a super good and I enjoyed
it a lot. Members seriously help a ton
when it comes to missionary work especially if you've got the right ones!! And boy did we have the right ones!! They bore some really powerful testimony that
hit me hard so I hope it helped her out. It started to snow up here so it's really
turning into the great white north in a way, haha.
Then
on Sunday we went to Lima for church because they asked us to speak so it was
really awesome going down there and connecting with the members again!! Lima is definitely going to get more attention
this transfer!! We spoke down there and
it was awesome!!! Elder Jacklin killed
it for only being out for like 4 days! It
was awesome!! We spoke on a talk that
really stood out to us and it was the talk by Elder Stevenson about spiritual eclipses,
which I mentioned before. I thought it
was such an awesome analogy!! I would
definitely recommend giving it another look!! Then today I had to say goodbye to the man the
myth the legend, Elder Trae Patterson, my best friend, an example and a brother
to me. He has served his two years as a
missionary for the church and is going home this Wednesday. It's a sad day but it comes for every
missionary. I'm just glad I was able to
serve around him for his last little bit and say goodbye. I love the quote that says, "Whenever
there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not
be forever... whether a parting be forever or merely a short time... that is up
to you" I know I'll see this guy
later on but it's been good to serve with him and to get to know him. This is going be a friendship that lasts a
lifetime and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for it.
Well guys it's been a good week!! I'll talk to ya next week!!
