This week flew by! I can't believe I only have one more week of training and then transfers. College Station is a great place to be and the people here are the best!
Rudy is getting baptized on Saturday! I am so excited. This week we talked to him about coffee and he said that it has been a struggle for him. We read Alma 32:27 which invites us to experiment on the word of God. He told us he would go without coffee and would replace it with a morning prayer. He has been so solid and we love him to death. I thank Heavenly Father for puttng him in my life.
This week we decided to go finding in a trailer park shanty town out in the middle of no where. When we first got there I got a terrible feeling, but we decided to go ahead and try to find some people. The trailers were sketchy but the people were amazing. Everyone we talked to loved Christ. They clearly had made some poor decisions but did not let that stop them from believing. It stood out to me because I need to be more humble. I have so many blessings in my life but fail to be grateful for them a lot of the time and that needs to change.
For P-day today we went to a drive-through safari. Best 15 bucks I have ever spent! We saw so many animals and they were so cute. We are also moving, so no more weird smells that come from a green substance anymore! God really is blessing me constantly.
Tomorrow I get the opportunity to go to the temple and I am so excited. I love the temple. The spirit and the feelings that are felt there are like no other in the world. It really is the House of the Lord.
Texas is an amazing place. I love being here and seeing lives change. I always told myself that if I could see one person come unto Christ while I was here, I would love it. I am seeing several already and Heavenly Father is pouring out blessings.
Love y'all and God bless.
