Week 12: Miracle week

Alright y'all, its miracle week.

Here's the story, last Friday we get a referral from these elders in Texas and they tell us that this guy just moved to Worthington from Houston and he has been taught everything and has already had his baptismal interview and was going to be baptized but work made him move here. So we met him and he is the greatest!!! He is the kindest and the most ready guy I have ever met!! His name is Lanre and he is getting baptized on Saturday.

This is a huge miracle because our zone needed 1 more baptism for the month of October to reach our goal and the zone leaders have been praying for it, and then we were given Lanre and the prayers were answered!!!!

We also had a district activity last Wednesday and decorated pumpkins.

Other than that this week has been pretty great, I've realized there are a lot of Arabic people living here and they are all super kind people, we are teaching this family and last night we had Faysal, the dad, read the introduction of the Book of Mormon in Arabic, I've read it a lot but hearing it in Arabic was so cool!!

I just want to leave y'all with my testimony that I know this gospel is true and that Heavenly Father loves every single one of us because if he didn't we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't have this amazing gospel.

I say that in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Week 11: Worthington

Hey everyone, so this week has been awesome/terrible

Terrible: I was sick from Tuesday to Saturday all last week so that was not fun.

Awesome: Tai, our person on date, is freaking awesome and her baptism is going to be sweet!!

I would like to thank everyone for all the love and support and I just want to say that I know this gospel is true.

Sorry for the shorter email, not a very eventful week do to sickness.

Oh 3rd thing, I got to give a talk in sacrament last Sunday and it went awesome!

Here are a few pictures of my surroundings.

Week 10: Eventful week

So this past week has been pretty eventful.  First off, General Conference was amazing!  And it was so great to be able to hear from our Prophet and apostles. 
I'm pretty excited for the new changes also, lol 2 hour church will be fun, and I'm excited to be able to have that more time with my family.

Also there will be 12 new temples!!! That is pretty exciting!!!

Second, also on Sunday I kind of got an ear infection so my ear has been bugging me since.

What I would like to share with you all is one of the biggest themes I got from General Conference is that no matter what, God and Christ's love will conquer all and that no matter what trial we are going through we can get through it with their love.

Week 9: Miracles are amazing!

So today I have a couple stories I want to tell y'all. 

Part 1.

So we have this person we are teaching named Tai and the missionaries have been working with her for a while but she is super flaky and so my companion and I went over and we were going to ask her about baptism and if that's what she wants or if she even wants us to teach her anymore.

When we got over there she answered the door and we started our lesson and we barely talked because she told us how she felt and that she has this feeling that she wants and needs to be baptized (we hadn't even brought it up yet) and it was awesome, so now she is on date to be baptized on October 20th!!!

Part 2

That was on Sunday and so on Monday my companion and I received a referral that these sisters in Cleveland had been teaching over the phone.  He is awesome, the sisters taught him a lot and he said he only feels that spirit when he talks with them or goes to one of our church activities. So the sisters got him on date for baptism for the 20th of October (2) and then finally got out of him where he lives so that the Elders can help him out, and he lives here in Worthington!!!

I feel these are answers to prayers and miracles because this last week has honestly been the hardest week (mentally) I've just been down alot so for these 2 things to happen is awesome and I do feel that it was our Heavenly Father helping us out.
