December 11, 2017 Transfers!

This week was transfer calls on Saturday. We have transfers on Wednesday and I am not leaving Jax Beach but I am getting a new comp from Italy. His name is Elder Buchella and he sounds like an awesome missionary. I am excited to meet him and get to work!

This week, was good. We had our Christmas party as a mission and it was a lot of fun. They did sing happy birthday to me which was not the best! Haha. They had a music performance and some of the missionaries know how to sing really good! Also almost all of the sisters can play the piano really, really good which is cool. Music can bring an amazing spirit to those who listen. I am glad that I was able to listen and feel the spirit. 

We went out with a member on Wednesday to try to find someone. He took over at the first door and has been off his mission for 25 years. He did amazing and we were able to teach a really good lesson to a man named Anthony. He really is excited to here from us again and to learn more. I am excited to do so because he seems like an amazing investigator who is truly interested in learning and growing. 

This week we all were together with the district leader and his companion and we blitzed his area to find more investigators fast. We also did many trade offs and only knocked one apartment building each because it was super cold this week outside. We decided that whoever found the more investigators got free lunch provided by the other companionship. Elder Berg and I were together and we found 3 new investigators and shared a light the world message. They all said that we can come back and teach them again. The other Elders (Redford and Karl) didn't find any investigators and so they bought lunch for everyone. 

In close, I have seen so many miracles this week even though they may seem small. I have felt the spirit lead and guide my decisions and actions and help me to become a better missionary and the spirit has magnified my efforts. I think as we really put our trust in the lord and do his work with all of our might, we will be able to do things we never thought possible. I know this to be true and love this gospel with all my heart. I love you all and hope that you have an amazing week full of blessings, miracles, and most importantly Jesus Christ

 

Happy 19th Birthday!
