We got transfer info
and Elder Shellman & I are staying together here in Laramie for another
transfer and are going to be training a new missionary! He’s a visa waiter
called to serve in Italy, so we’re really excited to have him in our
companionship! We know nothing about him but we’ll pick him up tomorrow.
Truthfully this week
was a bit of a struggle. People we’ve been teaching haven’t been keeping
commitments, super flakey, or have been too sick to meet with us. It’s
frustrating but boi is it sure teaching me how to love!
I think last week I
talked about Coi, 20 year old guy we talked to who was scared we were Mormons
when we talked to him haha, anyways we taught him this week and he said he was
really excited to meet with us cause he had actually prayed to God to give him
a chance to be able to start living his life for God the day before we talked
to him! God truly does hear & answer our prayers! Well we taught him, he
was really excited, loved everything, accepted the invitation to be baptized
next month. Then the next day he told us he talked to his mom and she said this
isn’t the right path of church for him to be taking, so that kinda scared him
away, but he did say he’s gonna take the time to pray and think about it for
himself. So we aren’t giving up on him yet!
Rebecca dropped us this
week too haha. It was really strange and pity. She messaged us and told us she
decided not to quit drinking or smoking, so we were like okay, we’ll just talk
with her about that next time we meet. Then couple days later she told us she
wasn’t going to convert for personal reasons and didn’t want us coming around
anymore then blocked us on Facebook. Weird stuff man but that’s good ol
Laradise for ya :)
So obviously the Lord
has big things planned for us this transfer so he thought he’d just give us
this week to test us and humble us that’s all haha. Man missions are fun, I
love it!
Love & miss you
all!
