Well Hello there! I have a real motivation to send a good email this week, because it has been really crazy, stressful, and all over the place.
Last Sunday Nicttorrio was given the Aaronic Priesthood. And he is progressing so well, as he works on family history and passed the sacrament for the first time!
We got a new ward mission leader in the Corando ward, Brother Turley is awesome to work with so far.
Sister Patton, is a member of 10ish years. She was baptized after she watched the Church building get built right behind her house. Her husband Gary Fuller wants to be baptized now. He came to church for the first time in 3 years.
Last Monday, Gary called us and asked us to meet with him. So we are so excited to help him prepare for his baptism.
When we were shopping a guy came up to me and put $300 dollars in my pocket and ran away, so we used it to buy groceries for all the Elders in my district.
On Tuesday I had my second interview with President Walker. I was wearing a brand new pair of shoes members got for me, and Presdient told me to put my foot in a trash can with chewed gum, to teach me an analogy about disobedience.
Wednesday night we got a phone call from President Walker, we had an Emergency transfer, so Elder Chadwick was sent to a different area and I stayed and my new companion is Elder Manapat. He goes home in nine weeks. He is really nice, but very different from what I'm used to. So I'm leading the area as he tries to get to know everyone.
On Thursday we were supposed to have a bible study class start, but no one showed up. So we were very greatful because we didn't prepare very well.. or at all.
Friday ran into a less active man named Frank. He let us in his home and thank us for being missionaries. He no longer believes in God. We asked him to let us come back and he said we could. I want to help him, because I remember the time in my life when I didn't believe God was real.
Saturday was AMAZING! I went to the temple with Olabodė and the Huber family to do baptisms for the dead. What a powerful experience to have with these people I love so much! Olabodè cried as he got baptized for his grandpa. Mark testified to us afterwards that he felt the presence of his ancestor and heard them rejoice in accepted the ordinance!
Yesterday we talked with Olabodė about his plans to go on a mission next year!
I love the people here so much! And each of you!
Love Elder Hall
