Week 42 4/13/15

4/13/15

hey Everyone!

So, i dont know exactly why everything is in like a gray outline..... but, thats ok! I will write anyway! and this is going to be a bit of a long ish letter because there has been so many awesome things that have happened this week! It seriously has been one of the best weeks of my mission! When you work hard, Play hard, and Pray Harder, the lord will bless you! :)

So this is what happened.

Monday: 

Was a super good P-day that ended in a FHE at a members house! a young man named Lorenzo (who I have to give a baptismal interview to this week) Was able to come! he loved it, and will be getting baptized this saturday!! Elder Faustin and Kellogg have been working with him for a long time so we are really excited for him!

Tuesday:

Was a bit interesting to tell the truth, We had to basically take two other missionaries around all day to doctors appointments and things because they cant drive and we live in the area where most all of the big hospitals are. So, that was a bit interesting, but me and elder bott were able to teach a lot of great lessons to random people in downtown birmingham! so good day all in all.

Wednesday:

Was Awesome! We Went walking to an apartment complex to tract and on the way ran into tons and tons of hispanic people! we taught a ton of lessons and have some new awesome potential investigators from it! Then, Later we threw a suprise party with the other missionaries for an investigator named Alex. He was turning 20 and so we just got some pizzas and hung out and he loved it! he is comming to church and hopefully will be getting baptized soon as well.

Thursday:

We had an Awesome activity with the cuenca family in our branch! its bassically an activity that helps members be better missionaries and helps them trust us that we are good missionaries and working our hardest! We are going to be halping them teach their family who lives close by! it was awesome!

Friday:

Was such an amazing day! we had a great zone training the first part of the day, then I felt like i was supposed to go see Nandi and Larry even though the other elders are working with them... we went with the english elders and ended up setting a bap date with them for the 26th! it was awesome!! Then we had an awesome lesson with a man named carlos, then we taught an awesome lesson to guadalupe and her family. (theres 6 of them!) we invited them to church and they just love the BOM. Then while walking back home a man named Kong stoped us and we are going to go teach him soon as well! It was serisouly a miricle day!

Saturday:

One quick Emaus Experience, We have been having trouble with seeing an investigator of ours named Alfredo, and so on saturday we rounded up a member whom we went with on a whim of the spirit to try and see Alfredo. He ended up being there and after showing the video of President Hollands talk in Conference we started to talk about baptism. The spirit came so strongly and we set a baptismal date for the 2nd of May. It was amazing! Then, the next day at church the experience continued as Alfredo was able to make it to church as well as 5 of the 6 members of a hispanic family (guadalupes family) we have been working with this last week! The branch really rallied around all of them, inviting them to family home evenings, being friendly and loving. Truly fellowshipping them. It was one of the greatest Sundays of my life.

So that kind of covered sunday too, but it was awesome!!  I want you guys to know that if we are obedient to the commandment and work hard, the lord will bless us with innumerable blessings!! Its been just a fantastic week. Love yall!
