Week 17: Thanksgiving week 🍰

Hey y'all, this past week was great!

So it was my first week with Elder Thomas and he is a great guy!

We had Thanksgiving and ended up getting fed twice! Lol mistakes were made....but I have no regrets because the food was so good!! I only died a little from over eating 😂

It warmed up a bit here but it's supposed to cool down again so cool.

Other than that things have been kind of calm, Saturday was the OSU Vs Michigan game so we couldn't do much.

Lastly it is really starting to look like Christmas here with all the lights lol.

I do just want to say how Thankful I am for everyone supporting me.

How Thankful I am for a loving family and how Thankful I am for this gospel and all the love that I have felt from it.

I love you all, have a great week!

Week 15: Transfers

So its transfer week and here is the big announcement:

I am staying in Worthington!

I am getting a new companion, his name is Elder Thomas, I won't meet him until tomorrow but Elder Paul has told me a little about him and he seems cool so I'm excited.

Other than that this week has been awesome.

We started teaching Amy, who is Lanre's new wife. Lanre is the guy we baptized a few weeks ago, he is doing awesome.

Then we are teaching a guy named Dwayne and yesterday he was asking awesome questions and he brought out a notebook of questions he had while reading, he is progressing so much!!!

Then last week we had zone conference and that is always awesome!

So that's why my week was awesome lol

Week 14: New P-day

Hey y'all

So this past week was a weird one.

I feel like not a lot happened but the few things that did were awesome and fun.

1st: we had the last district council of this transfer.

It was awesome and it was cool being able to hear so many amazing testimonies from the missionaries that are dieing this transfer (going home)

2nd: we had stake conference and it was awesome! You could really feel the spirit so strongly.

Those are kind of the main points of what happened this week.

Also starting on November 19th my P-days will be on Monday, so be ready for that lol.

I just want to leave y'all with this:

"FOOTPRINTS"

One night I dreamed a dream

I was walking along the beach with my Lord.

Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.

For one scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.

This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You most, You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings.

When you saw only one set of footprints it was then i carried you"

A poem by Margaret F. Powers

I know that through faith in Jesus Christ we can all get through the "storms" and trials of our lives no matter how hard it may seem, the Savior will always love all of us and be there for us.
