HOWDY Y'ALL!!!
Oh man, was this past week an adventure to say the very least. To start off, I received a call from President Peterson on Monday saying that I am now training a new missionary!! I was and still am completely overwhelmed, but it's all good because Heavenly Father always takes care of us. It's a blessed time in Texas.
The new missionaries come in on Thursdays, so this week for Tuesday and Wednesday I was on an exchange with Elder Karren who is also training. Those were probably the most fun two days of my mission! Elder Karren covers an area about 30 miles from Huntsville so we had two days of constant driving. We both set up lessons before hand so we were bouncing back from area to area both days. It was so much fun. Drove many miles and learned many things!
We set two dates this week!!! With two girls we are teaching named Jade and Elesia. We sat down to have a lesson with them and asked them what their goals were. They looked at us and said "our goal is to be baptized so we can reach salvation." Elder Karren's and my mouths dropped. We then asked them to get baptized and they more than readily agreed. It's the Lords work not mine absolutely. They even invited their families already!!!
My new companion's name is Elder Potter!!! He is from a small Idaho town and man do I already love him. He loves rodeo and is a total Idahoan country boy. He is super smart in the gospel and I'm so thankful that I got an amazing trainee.
One last cool miracle. On Saturday, we were out finding at an apartment complex that I felt super inspired to go to. We knocked and knocked but didn't really find anyone that was interested. We then knocked on a door and a man opened the door. He is from Ghana and told us he was baptized 10 years ago! He invited us in and told us he needed to come back and wants to. His wife and son are not members so he invited us back on Saturday. We are super excited to go see them!!!
I'm so thankful to be in Texas. Heavenly Father is watching out for me every day and I'm so thankful for Him. The gospel brings hope and light to our lives especially when we are trying our best. Jesus is the Christ. God bless y'all and love y'all!
