I am going to be Training a new missionary for the next 12
weeks! I got the call from President Rehm, my mission president, and I am going
to be driving up to Colorado Springs to get my new companion. I am really
excited to find out who he is and work with him and learn from him as we work
together the next 3 months.
This upcoming week we have what the people in the Valley
very fervently call "Mormon Christmas" it is the Pioneer celebration
the entire valley comes and visitors from everywhere come and take part in the
Parade, and other festival type stuff! Our mission is hosting a Family history
both! I have come to find I really love Family history. It is so much fun and
you can learn so much about where you came from! Love it!
This week we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and
while I was in Alamosa I somehow committed to do an interpretive dance of a
scripture next time I see the family. I am really not sure how... but that is a
thing that happened this week and I thought I would share. I will send a video
if it is a good dance. So there will probably not be a video.
We have been working like crazy this past week and we are so
excited for the upcoming weeks we have a lot of investigators that have been
coming to church and so many have been prepared by our heavenly father to hear
our message about the Gospel of the Savior. I have come to see just how much
the Lord is in this work as well. This one woman we work with recently moved
and she has a lot more free time to talk with us and she has read through 2
Nephi! In only like 2 weeks. She has really loved the message of the Gospel and
came to church yesterday!
At the end of this Transfer I have been reflecting on the missionary
work in the Sanford area and it has really taken off the past 6 weeks. I know
that the reason for that is because the members have been helping us out so
much. I am going to giving a talk in about 3 weeks about missionary work and I
wanted some for your stories about working with missionaries. What have you
seen work and what have sort of things do you like to see Elders and sisters
doing? Look forward to reading your stories!
Love you all and Hope that you are having a wonderful
summer!
