Two weeks in a row...I'm on a roll!-Deb
Welllll last night we got transfer calls..... and once again
I will be whitewash training. I just want to be with a companion for more than
six weeks and in an area for like six months so i can really get into the work
and get some stuff going. Maricopa has been awesome though. Only here for 4.5
months but it was really successful and I loved every second of it. This whole
mission thing really teaches me how I need to align God's will with mine. I don't
want to be transferred. I will miss Elder B. I will miss Maricopa, but I
know that Heavenly Father has more in store somewhere else. Somewhere I need to
be to learn and grow so I will go and do. Hopefully I will learn and do what I
am supposed to do in the new area. And I will be training again. I do like
training. It's fun. So far after I got trained I have been a trainer. I hope it
continues like that because I really like new missionaries. They are so gung ho
about the work and it us super fun.
As for N. he got baptized on Saturday. It was a really
cool service. His girlfriend and her family made it down and the dad did the baptizing
and confirming. The spirit was super strong during the confirmation. Really
incredible.
We also started teaching a 17 year old boy on Friday who has come to church 3 times with his friend. He accepted the
baptismal date of Aug 3. So another baptism this weekend. Too bad I wont be
there. oh well.
Aside from that it has been alot of trying to find. We got a
few referrals so hopefully something good will come of those.
On Friday we had a visit to make but since it is the end of
the month we are almost out of miles for our car so we had to bike like 20
miles to go make this visit in what felt like the worst head wind of my life.
It sucked so bad and my butt hurt soooo bad after that. but it was an adventure
so it was good. We have been working with a lady that got excommunicated a few
years ago and decided she wanted to come back to churhc. She is doing really
good and is really working hard on doing whats right. She is still trying to
quit smoking but that will come. What is even cooler is to see her 15 year old
son getting really excited to start coming back to church and reading the
scriptures and Preach My Gospel. It sounds like he is preparing for a mission now. Super
cool. I am going to miss Copa'.
How is all back home? Sounds like everything is going good.
I hope you all are doing well.
Well I love you all and pray for you
Love
Elder Smith
