This week has been a tough one. I am getting transferred and am sad to leave the amazing High Springs Branch. It is such a good area and I learned so much! I am going to Orange Park Florida and will be serving with another Elder Hansen. I went on a tradeoff with this Elder Hansen in my first area in GA. It is super exciting to serve with him and I am looking forward to it.
This past week has been quite good. We were able to have a super awesome lesson with James and he accepted baptism but said he would have to think on a date of when he wants to be baptized. He is super elect and will probably be a member in a few months. Something else that was awesome to me this week is that almost everyone does have an interest in the gospel. As a missionary, my job is to discern that need and invite the spirit to teach and testify of the truth.
It has continued to rain almost every day this past week. We did have a possible tropical storm that was going to be bad come through but I think it got directed somewhere else. We did get a lot of rain though but it has been super good. It reminds me of the song I like to look for rainbows. Even through the worst storms in life, there is always some good we can find. Also the trials we go through really do strengthen us and know that through the atonement we can be made clean just like the earth after a rain storm.
On Wednesday, I got some shocking news. I had a dentist appointment because one of my teeth had what I thought was a cavity. I was right and was able to get it fixed. The Dentist took a few X-rays of my mouth just to make sure there was nothing else but there was something else...
So I have a tooth that had a root canal done on it a few years ago. My gums around the tooth have always been a little irritated and there has been a darker something right under my gum line on that tooth. I have always thought that it was just part of the Root Canal that they did. I guess that it was actually a big cavity. It has grown down the side of my tooth and I was told that my tooth will be lost! What great news to hear when you go to take care of a tiny problem. I know that the "cavity" has been there for longer than I have been on my mission and wonder why the previous dentist didn't ever point it out. Now I just have to schedule an appointment to go get my tooth removed which is super exciting! Haha
On Thursday, we had a cool miracle happen. We were going to an appointment up in High Springs. It fell through and we were going to head onto the other side of town to see if we could meet with a few more people. I looked at the map because I thought maybe there was another reason we are in the area. There was a member who lived right across the street from our investigator. We turned around and went to her house. She said that a tree had fallen on her gate and knocked it off. She was going to try and put it back on herself and had thought about calling us but didn't want to because she wanted to have something for us. She said that us stopping by was a miracle. It was cool to see how the Lord has a plan for each of us and as we follow his plan and listen to the spirit, we can accomplish so much!!
Thankyou everyone for all of the letters, prayers, and love from home. I love you all so much and know with all my heart that this gospel message is so true and is the only way we can find everlasting joy and happiness. Don't only live the gospel but love it. Love is what changes hearts!
