Week #72 - 2019 SPRING LAKES DRIVE

Howdy everyone!! 

It was a great week and the Lord did absolutely provide. We were able to see miracles, feel His spirit, and grow in the service of our Savior. I feel overwhelmingly blessed to be in Texas in such a great time. 

This week we started zone conferences and some other training meetings so it was pretty jam packed. I definitely love being able to see all my mission buddies pretty often and staying in touch with them. The missionaries I've met here are an absolute blessing to my life. 

On Thursday to Friday, Elder Airth and I had the opportunity to go back up to College Station for a zone meeting they were having. I felt like I was driving back home after being away for the past 9 months. I loved my 5 transfers in College Station to say the least. I even got to see a couple people I helped get baptized which was a blessing to see them doing well and still staying strong. One of the students I helped teach at A&M even got his mission call and will be a missionary roughly about 15 months after his baptism. It was a blessing for sure. College Station Texas will always be a special place to me. 

Last night Elder Airth and I were able to find and teach our best friend Miss Barbara. She is probably 80 (I'm too scared to ask) and is the sweetest southern grandma I've ever met. She loves having us over. We shared the Restoration with her and the spirit was so tangible. She absolutely loved it after growing up in the deep South her whole life. We are super excited to keep going over to Grandma's house and teach more. Miss Barbara is a blessing in our lives for sure. 

The weeks seem to fly by.  I can hardly keep up and I've never been so fortunate to be so busy before.  I feel so blessed to be in the opportunity I'm in and serving those around me.  I know my Savior lives and loves. I know He qualifies and cares. He is the reason for all we have.  Jesus is the Christ.
