Howdy y'all This past week has been awesome. I got transferred to Cypress Texas! It's a huge suburb of Houston and I cover two family wards here. The bike life has continued unfortunately, but all is well still.
My new companion is named Elder Clark! He is from Arizona and has been out almost 17 months. I knew him when I served up in College Station, so it has been fun getting back around him. Also Elder Hitchcock from Forest Grove back home is my new Zone Leader companion. I'm way excited about this transfer!
Let's just say Cypress is a completely different ball game than anywhere else I've served lol. They have these huge gated communities here and the houses are huge. The people are very nice and the members are amazing. I've never really served in an area like this so it will be an adventure for sure!
We are teaching a family here! They are super amazing and I already love them. They recently moved into the area and were looking for a church. We were able to stop by and get to know them this past week and I'm so excited about them. They even came to church yesterday and loved it.
This week I have been really working on connecting and relying more and more on the Savior. I have needed him by my side constantly. I loved reading in Mark 4 this past week about Jesus calming the storm. We all have storms going in our lives but Jesus can and will calm them for us. He can tell them to be at peace and help us through it. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He won't take them away completely, but He will ease the burden we are carrying. I'm so thankful for my Savior and the healing power He possesses.
It's growth season down here in Texas. I love my Savior and I love the power He gives to me. I know that He is mindful of all of us and loves us each individually. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve and to become better. This gospel is so great and really can calm the troubled soul.
I love y'all and God Bless!
