This week was transfer calls. I am staying in High Springs and getting a new companion Elder Hanson. It is going to be exciting.... I hope! haha This week was also our Stake Conference and we had one of the 70's come and speak to us. It was super cool. We removed a huge tree from a neighbors yard and got 3 new potential investigators from that experience. We had a couple good lessons and all in all it was a good week.
Transfer calls were a day early because President Lee was asked to speak in our Stake conference. I was fine with anything happening. I am going to be the senior companion and will be staying in High Springs so my address is the same. I am excited and hope to move the work along. I also hope to try some things that Elder Gibby was against that will make missionary work more enjoyable and hopefully bring some good success.
At our Stake Conference, we had some good talks and the spirit was strong. They focused a lot on ministering and doing it one by one. It was good to get more on the changes and have them better explained. The organist during the adult session on Saturday night was crazy! He was playing like he was in phantom of the opera. He was moving all over and playing in a flat key and putting a bunch of extra notes in. It was super funny and really brightened the mood. The messages were very powerful and one that I really liked was about looking to children as an example and ministering in a loving way. There were many different ways we can minister that were discussed. A few were.... Church callings, In our home, Neighbors, Sick and afflicted, less active... It was cool to hear some stories of how we can better minister. Miricals will happen as we implement the gospel into every aspect of our lives and use it to bless and be an example to everyone around us. What are some ways that you can implement ministering this week in your every day activities?
On Saturday, we cleaned up and removed a huge tree. I sent a picture last week of it. It took about 3 hours but out of it we found an potential that was walking down the street. Also the neighbors that had the tree fall asked how they could repay us and we said invite us into their home and learn why we do what we do. We should meet with them in the next week or so. Its awesome how miricals happen as we serve others. Later that day, we got asked by another non-member if we could help her move her couch to the 3rd floor of her apartment and she also wanted to repay us. Boom another potential! Haha. While helping her move, we met one of her coworkers who was a member and has been less active for a few years. Another miracle!
This week was super good and the main message I got out of it is that as we serve and love those around us, the Lord will bless us in so many ways. I challenge all of you to find one way to serve/minister this week in some way or another. I can promise that you will recieve blessings as you do so. I love you all and am greatful for all that you do! Thanks for the letters, emails, and encouragement that you give! Love Ya!
