So, I am in a new area
if you haven't heard. I am in a great area! It’s awesome here. This week
was great, besides that I got sick and my camera broke so I had to
buy a new one. I hit my leg with a stone axe really hard so that
will leave a mark… We were chopping up some wood for this ladies fireplace
and she is now an investigator! :) It was awesome! :) I got some videos
of me and Elder Farr splitting some wood in one hit! Ha ha it was great.
Don't get to do that in California (gas fireplace at home..). Felt like a man!!
Anyway, this week is
great because WE HAVE 7 INVESTIGATORS RIGHT NOW AND 2 PEOPLE THAT
WANT TO GET BAPTIZED! IT’S SO COOL! You have no idea what I am
feeling. It’s awesome to see that they understand what they are feeling
from this whole experience of coming unto Christ! One of the people that want
to get baptized is named Savannah, and she’s 15. Her friends are all
Mormon and invited her to some activities. She has also gone to church and just
loves the whole experience. I got to ask her why she wants to be baptized, and
she said it just feels right and I have been thinking about it for a long time. I was just like WHOA! That is so crazy! She was just smiling and super happy. It was
great to see! She is on schedule to be baptized Feb 15th :)
Then we have a guy
named Raul. He wants to get baptized as well but he doesn't really know when.
He’s gone to church. He owns his own martial arts gym. It’s so awesome!
Hopefully he can teach me a few things and we can teach him a few things as
well. It’s just really good to be here where some work is happening and you
feel like you deserve to be here. Members are giving us some work to do as
well!
Also… You will never
believe this but we got the opportunity to go to the temple this week. I was
just waiting at the temple and ELDER RUIZ COMES BEHIND ME AND GRIPS MY SHOULDER!
When I see him, I am just so relieved to see him. I got to give him a hug and
it just felt like you were reunited with your brother again; and I was. I was
so happy and it just felt perfect. I got some pictures with him but forgot my
camera so next week. I will send you all some photos of us. :)
Me and Elder Farr are
really into chess now. We play a game every night before bed. Ha ha it’s a very
humbling experience sometimes :) I think it’s good. Teaching me a lot of
patience and that it’s just a game ha ha ha. So yeah, it’s been a lot of fun
here in Arapahoe.
I LOVE YOU ALL :)
Everything is good with me and I hope everything is great with you! :) Let me
know if I can do anything for you guys. I love this ward. There are a lot of
people that I have felt like I have known before, it is awesome. I even met a
guy that told me; golf is a celestial sport and that basketball is a
terrestrial sport... Got a little bitter about that one… ha ha just kidding.
:) Y'all ROCK!
