Elder Jacob Elgaaen in Jacksonville, Florida: December 20,2017 The Week

This week was long but fast and full of so many miricals. On Wednesday we had tradeoffs and Elder Pacella is by far my favorite companion yet! He is so kind and always there to build up and encourage. We work out together in the mourning and it is fun. He is awesome.

This week we found 2 new investigators. The first one is named Dee. He is actually Torrys room mate and so he has already heard a lot of what we believe. He has really liked meeting with us and has been asking us through the week if there is anything he can help us with. The next investigator we met while we were at the park. He watched the Lighttheworld video and then asked us where our church was and for our number. It was such a blessing to be there at the right time. Torry has been progressing and will hopefully get the priesthood this next sunday in church.

Probably the biggest miricals this week happened on sunday. We were at church and got a full calendar for meals for the rest of the month. We met a guy who has 4 sons who all want to be baptized and so we got 4 potential investigators who will be very promising for baptism. We went with Dee to a concert that the missionaries were invited to and then Dee bought us dinner afterwards. Then later that night we had a lesson with Christian Perry who is committed to be baptised on Jan 7th. It was a good lesson and we really got to know Christian better. I am so greatful for all the miricals in my life.

This week my main focus has been on working hard. As we work hard in our lives, we grow stronger and stronger and can see a lot more miricals. This week I challenge everyone to work hard to become like Christ and develop a Christlike attribute. I know that as you do this we can all become better and will see miricals in our every day lives! I love you all and hope you have a great week full of the savior and his teachings!
