Hey Yall!
First off, I'm sorry i didn't get a big letter sent out last
week! Some days you get so busy (even on a p-day!) that you end up with no time
to email anyone! Hopefully i can make it up with this weeks letter!
To start off, Yesterday Elder Littleford and i had an amazing
experience at church. We had invited countless people, from when we arrived,
and all the way up until the sacrament, nobody came. Then, we got a call from
Brandi. She is a 22 ish year old black woman who has 2 young kids. She told us
she was on her way with her friend Alexandra (who also has 2 young kids) and
needed the address because she had lost the card with the address on it. She
then apologized for being late, and told us that the reazon was because she
drove all the way to Bessemer to pick up her friend and then come all the way
back to our church! That's is an hour round trip! even more amazing, we had
only met her the night before!! Luckily, they were able to arrive in time to
see part of sacrament meeting, and then stay through the meetings and a
wonderful linger longer we had after church ended. THEY LOVED IT! I had been
praying super hard recently because we have not had anyone to teach the last
couple weeks, all of our investigators had dropped us or where MIA. So, to have
these 2 women and there children come to church, so ready for the gospel, was
amazing! Definetely an answer to Prayer, Elder Littleford an I are stoked to
keep working with Brandi and Alex in conjunction with the sister missionaries.
In other news, Rayshawn is doing awesome! She is just on fire
with the gospel, the ward loves her, she loves them, and she is even going out
and teaching with the sister missionaries! It's so great to see someone that
you were able to work with continue to progress and she is doping great! She is
applying for jobs and is soon to be moving away from home. All of which will be
great for her. She definitely has a testimony of how much this gospel has
changed her already!
We also had an interesting experience this week, we had an
appointment to meet with a recent convert named Jamarcus, He is about 20 and a
super awesome guy. But, when we arrived to meet him, he was like limping
out of his house, blood all down his arm and some make shift bandages trying to
cover it up. He also had road rash all down his side. He had apparently been
long boarding down a hill and fell super bad. So, due to the lack of medical
supplies in our car, we went to walmart and ended up bandaging him up in the
walmart bathroom before he had to go to work. Pretty random thing to do
on a mission i guess, but he is doing much better now!
In Other news, this coming Wednesday is transfer day! However,
Elder Littleford and I are staying together in the Inverness ward here in Birmingham/Pelham
Alabama! im super stoked because we get along great, work super well together,
have a blast, and are having so much success! Sometimes after a transfer you
are ready for a new comp, but other times, you need a second one! So we
are going to go hard and hopefully catch a few fish! <--- a="" activity="" actually="" and="" anything....="" away="" become="" but="" caught="" chance="" couple="" days="" else="" focus="" for="" get="" gives="" great="" guess="" ha.="" has="" have="" i="" it="" its="" just="" let="" little="" mind="" new="" not="" o:p="" of="" on="" one="" our="" ours.="" out="" p-day="" relax="" something="" that="" therapy="" these="" time.="" to="" version="" we="" when="" will="" yet="" you="">
To end, i just want to invite everyone to remember general
conference and try to make a special effort during at least one session to sit
down and really take some notes on it! I think the best learning experiences on
my mission have come from being in general conference and listening to the
words of the apostles! Which, btw, there will be at least 2 new of! (they may
wait to call the third for time sake)
I love you all, hope your
doing great!
