Hey everyone! It's been a while! I just get so distracted on pday, it's hard to write emails haha!
But anyways, the last few weeks have been good! We recently had transfers and my new companion is Elder Whiting! He is from Grantsville, Utah! I have no clue if that's how you spell it. He has been out a year now, and just came from the new stake. We get along awesome!
Let's see, what are some highlights from the last few weeks?
On Saturday Elder Whiting and I got to go to the temple with a member of our branch. His name if Francisco! He was going to the temple for the first time to receive his endowments! It was so cool to be there for him! One thing that makes this even more exciting is that when I was in Poway last year, Francisco was not even an Elder yet. We were teaching him priesthood prep classes! And now, a year later, I got to go through the temple with him!
Elder Whiting and I also spoke in sacrament meeting a few weeks ago. We got a call Saturday night at 7pm, on our way to sports night with our youth. It was a member of our branch presidency asking if we could speak the next day haha. Luckily we both had talks written from before, and we were told we could speak on any topic.
Nothing too crazy has happened the last few weeks. We are working with Leah still, a 13 year old who is ready for baptism. Her mom Elsy is a member, but her dad is not, and wants her to wait until she is 18 to be baptized. So we are just helping her learn more about the Book of Mormon and that kind of stuff right now. Leah is super cool and we hope her dad will open up to us soon!
Love you guys!
