HELLOOOOO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
We are already in the third week of the transfer and I feel like its been two days. Time is on hyperdrive on a mission and looking back it is amazing seeing the change that has taken place in my heart and soul. Thats exactly what god does. Takes raw material (Such as myself) and helps them become better people. Now, I am still FAR FAR from perfect and have many many weaknesses that I am still trying to overcome but I am grateful for the fact that I have an all powerful being on my side to help me with those.
Last week wasn't super busy but yestardy was the highlight. We did get the chance to meet with michael again on wednesday. He is understanding the gospel but still has some questions about small things such as why is there a ceremonie or ritual for baptism? Or Why is there an organisation to the church mainly why do we have apostles? We did our best to answer them but I think he is still a little confused.
This week is super full. We have made out many appointments and are going to be super busy and stressed but I LOVE being busy. Finding for six hours of the day isn't exactly the most thrilling experience so I am happy that we are meeting with loads of people. Mentor and his wife should have had the baby by now and I can't wait to meet the little guy.
SO YESTARDAY. WAS. AWESOME. First of all michael came to church and is now coming very regularly. After church we had a little brief discussion with him and he thanked us for what we do. He told us that something has touched his heart and its something he hadnt felt in a very long time...HOPE. The process of finding god and trying to draw near unto him is working he has found the very thing that will give him the kickstart to know what is true and that is the very thing that I am trying to develop even more and that is HOPE. Oh man I just wanted to wrap the guy up and hug him but that would be really strange and awkward so I had to try really hard not to. ALSO the guy who works at the doner shop decided to come yestarday as well. He has been coming off and on but because he is always super busy with work he can't come as often. But he came.....with nine of his friends. Him and his friends doubled the branch and we had about twenty people there. It was such a great moment being able to share a little bit of the gospel with them. We gave two of them a book of mormon because they all live together in a hotel but they basically all want to help people and serve people. Our doner friend is a great christian and looks for any opportunity to help and serve others. They will be coming in a coulple of weeks and cook tons of food for homeless people or old people out on the streets. Recently I was thinking about service and realized that sometimes the best kind of service is the service you give that only god recognizes. We are super stoked to start teaching him and can't wait to see the change take place in his life.
Love you all bye.
