Hey family and friends!
I hope you all had a really fun and
great week. This week has been really good here in Texas. I wanted to start off
with sharing a real miracle story. We were calling out of some old area books
on an old number list and we called a number and this person picked up. His
name is Ernesto and he was taught in the past and had a baptismal date as well.
He was super willing to meet with us and start taking lessons from the
missionaries again. He told us he was reading in the scriptures before we
called. He even told us it was some kind of coincidence that he happened to be
at his grandparent’s house when we called. We have a lesson this Tuesday and he
said he wanted to download the Book of Mormon app without us even telling him
about it. He was even willing to cut our hair some time haha. I really love
this story because it goes to show that the work is still going and that there
are still people out there looking and who are waiting. Our Heavenly Father
puts people in our path all the time. We just need to be ready to be worthy and
have the companionship of the Holy Ghost. I've been reading the Book of Mormon
all in Spanish this week and it’s been super fun. I started in Mosiah which is
like where it gets super good. I'm learning so much from the scriptures even
though it's in Spanish. We had zone conference this week and interviews with
President Tveten as well. We had a pretty big zoom call and received some training
on how we can be better effective on Facebook. We also learned about having
SUPER TRUST with members and why it's important. If we have Super Trust with
the members of our ward or branch, they will want to work with us more and be
more open to giving us family members or friends that we can teach. Our zone is
doing a little activity to keep us all pumped and excited for the mission work.
We are all doing an Americas got talent thing. We all have to show off one of
our talents or do something cool and we film it and send it to the zone. Me and
Elder Johnson are first so were planning on turning all the lights in the
church ON in 1 minute. It's going to be super fun haha. Well I hope everything
is going well and y’all have a super duper good week!
