Friends, football, and passover?

Okay, this has been an interesting week! Last Tuesday night Elder Bailey and I got to teach Trevor and Haley. They have met with missionaries a lot and have heard on and on about baptism which was originally what we were doing too. We changed it up a little on Tuesday. We played a quick game of football and then played catch for a second. However many catches he made he had to read that many chapters of the Book of Mormon. He caught 3 and has to read 3! We then taught him how to pray and his sister said she would read with him! 

The other person we are trying to get to church is Bryton. He goes to Seminary and loves it. He wants to be baptized and just has to come to church and get that testimony. He's amazing and the seminary teacher is helping a ton! 

Monday we got to have a special Easter themed Zone Conference. We had Jared Halverson come and speak to us about missions and answered questions about the Gospel. He has studied the gospel his whole life and loves it so much. We learned a lot from him.

The other cool thing was that we got to have a passover meal! The mission did a study of Christ from December till Easter and it was amazing! I learned so much and have come to love my Savior more than I did before. The passover meal was to end off the study with a feel for Christ's last supper. It was cool and interesting to see how they did it and what it all represented. 

I have loved this week and hope this next one is as good!

Afton for 2!

Image
Hey everyone, sorry for no email last week, I was waiting to send one after I got transfer news! I'm staying in Afton for another transfer and getting a new companion! His name is Elder Garcia and he's from Arkansas! He's super funny and we get along really well! This area is just a roller-coaster! We used to have 4-5 potentials for this month and now we have like 2. It has been sad to see the situations that make the people we are teaching wait to get baptized. We are doing our best and being diligent while on the Lord's errand and we hope to see miracles! This area is amazing and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for it!

Unexpected surprises...

So, this last week has been amazing. Elder Jones and I have gone around visiting a ton of members so that we can get to know their neighbors. We have already seen success from this and are going to continue to do it. A miracle we saw this last Tuesday was a call from the Seminary teacher in the stake. He called and told us about this girl who wants to be baptized and wanted to meet that next day! So we met with her and 2 of her friends on Wednesday and she is ELECT! Many things in her life have lead her to this moment and now her friends are helping her make that choice to follow the Savior.  After that lesson at noon, we set the next one for 7:30 the next day just before transfers! We taught her the plan that God has for us and invited her to be baptized. She agreed and set a goal for June 3rd! It is amazing what the lord has in store for each and every person on the earth. The amount of love he shows us through the scriptures and just in the world around us is beautiful.  Th...

The Elect

Hey everyone! Sorry for missing an email this last week, I realized I needed to write one at 10pm and just decided to wait till today. We had transfers this last week and I get to stay in the Kimberly 1 area and I swapped out Elder Johnson for Elder Villezcas (VE-yez-kas)! He loves anything to do with Sonic the Hedgehog and loves to talk. This is going to be a fun transfer! Last week went slow like the end of a transfer usually does but now we have to get that momentum again. There weren't a ton of miracles either but they are definitely coming back.  Something that I saw happen last week was when Elder Johnson and I were teaching this really old guy named Tom Smith. He's a PMF and had been meeting with missionaries for a LONG time and we had finally dug through his concerns to whether or not he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet or not. We had challenged him the week before to make up his mind on that subject but he had forgotten that part of the challenge when we came back. A...
