So as of right now I am companionless because Elder Mingo won't get here until Tuesday sometime. So I'm hanging around the zone leaders until then. So I'm excited and stuff for the change because I kind of like a little chance every now and again. So this past week was actually pretty good. Met with Kathryn our investigator and we set a date with her for December 22. She is so EXCITED! On Friday we taught her the word of wisdom and she asked if we could have soft drinks and were like yes we can. Because she thought we couldn't so she didn't buy a Pepsi because she said it'd be a temptation if she wasn't able to. But we assured her we could. It's awesome to see her chance from when we started and where we are now. The gospel truly brings peace to the soul and joy to the heart.
Another awesome experience we had this week were were able to have dinner with Paul and we had little lesson with faith in Alma 32 one of his concerns was why we couldn't see the gold plates. I read through Alma 32 and in verse 21 really stuck out and the words knowledge went BOOM in front of my face, and I felt I needed to say if we had a sure perfect knowledge of the plates it would almost condemn us if we chose not to follow the Saviors council and so that we have a loving Heavenly Father he in his infinite wisdom took them and had us walking by faith rather than sight. Paul then told me you know that has been the best way he's heard it explained. To say the least I'm glad that I was being led by the spirit I love feeling the spirit and I love being a missionary for Jesus Christ. I hope from our lesson with Paul helped him and moved him toward baptism and opened a door to help him feel the spirit. It was an amazing experience!
As well this week it's been raining cats and dogs an elephants. We had a lake in the front of our apartment complex. I got soaked. But it's warm here in California so I was still very warm I didn't freeze. But all is well over here in California the church is true even here so it must be true hahaha! Anyways I'm still in the same place I was at the beginning. Love to hear from you soon!
Love your son, brother, and whatever else you'd like to call me.
