Howdy friends!!!! Yet again it was such a blessed week to be serving my Savior in the great state of Texas. This week included a ton of learning, growth, patience and leaning on my Savior. The mission is going so well and I love being able to serve here.
Last week we found a high school kid who was out shooting hoops in his driveway. We went over and I played him in horse. We ended with a spiritual thought and he told us he felt something different aka the spirit. We asked if we could come back and he said for sure. Fast forward to this week and we saw him three times and he is doing so good. We gave him a Book of Mormon which he is reading through so fast. He just loves the feelings of the spirit that he is having. It's a miracle. Heavenly Father was able to guide us to Eduardo and now we get to help him find God. God is good.
The family we are teaching is doing great. The 14 year old went to youth conference this past week and even bore his testimony. They keep coming to church and have read more than we thought they had. We are so thankful for them and any prayers going their way would be much appreciated!!
We also went out tracting this past week and met a guy who had just moved here from New York. He said that he had been thinking about finding out more in Christianity and then we showed up. God guides my friends. We had a great talk with him and he invited us back. I feel so blessed to have Heavenly Father looking out for me and guiding me daily.
We also had the opportunity to go do serve for the Houston Health Clinic this past week. It was so much fun. We basically helped teach kids to brush and floss their teeth. I loved it lol. I even got to see the Houston skyline for the first time in my mission. It's such a pretty city and made me miss Portland a little bit. Suburb life is a pretty plain life to say the least lol.
I also got to go back on campus this week on an exchange!! I went to Prairie View A&M which is such an awesome school. It was really fun talking to college kids again and kinds bittersweet because my sister served in that area when she was in Texas for her mission. I guess Texas is part of our heritage now :)
Anyways Texas is a good place to be. The gospel still continues to heal and Jesus is always the Christ. Life is moving fast and I'm so thankful for everything my Savior has done for me. I feel a magnitude of love from Him daily. The spirit guides and fills. I love you all and am so thankful for everything a loving Heavenly Father has given me. Prayers from Texas and God bless.
