Hey everyone! We had a
great week. On Monday we went downtown to the church building. It is also the
institute building so they had ping pong tables! So we got to play some pretty
intense ping pong games. It was so fun, we were all sweating pretty good by the
end. I'm not sure if it was because the matches were super intense or because
we are all out of shape. We went on exchanges this week and Elder Ord and I were able to
go together. He is an awesome guy and a great missionary. We were able to see a
lady named Sister Carty. She is an older African American lady from Atlanta
Georgia. She is so funny! When we went to see her, she needed help with a
couple of things, opening two cans of tuna and moving her fish from one tank to
a little bowl. Well I took the initiative to get the fish. I went in to scoop
up the fish with my hand and she didn't think that I could get the fish with my
hand so she said to hold on while she got a cup. I decided to try anyway and I
scooped he little fish right up and plopped it right in the bowl. I guess I did
it pretty gracefully because when Sister Carty saw me do it she started going
crazy saying, "Oh my goodness, it's like he's an angel! Did you see the
way he scooped that fish?" Haha I guess she liked the way I treated her
little beta fish. She told us the next day that the fish doesn't like her
anymore... I guess it got attached.
We were able to see Jiquelill this week as well. He had been praying for direction in his life and that he was willing to act on that as well. After that we showed up. He is a less active member and is a senior in high school. We stopped by his house and he wasn't home so we talked to his mom for a little bit. Just as we were about to leave he showed up. He said he had been out with his friends and he had felt like he needed to be home, so he ran all the way home and when he got home, we were there. This Sunday he was there for stake conference and he said that he would be coming to young men's and church again this upcoming week. It has been a miracle. With stake conference I was also able to see a lot of people from the wheeling ward. It was awesome. I love those guys so much and I was so happy seeing all of them there. Maybe since I came back to this area president Johnson will let me go back there as well. Julia is doing great and has found answers to her prayers through the Book of Mormon. Her and her dad are awesome and it has been amazing to see what the gospel has done for them. Thank you for all of the support, have a great week!
