There Can Be Miracles

Oh you thought I wasn't going to write an email today huh!? I haven't missed a week in my mission yet. 


     Well this week has been a great week let me tell you. We found 5 new people that we are teaching and meeting with, and we got 4 people to church. 2 of the 4 people we had to have members take them and they were willing so it was awesome! One of the guys that came (named will) has medical problems and he had to have paramedics come put him on a stretcher and take all these test. He had low blood sugar because of diabetes, and he was so excited to come to church he skipped breakfast. Luckily our members were good with him and took care of him, and also it was during second hour. It was a wild experience but im glad that he's all good. He's super cool though. When we were meeting with him he loved what we shared, and when we went back he asked if he could get baptized. So we told him to come to church and he did! His caretaker who we haven't met before, was taught by missionaries a long time ago and it was his first time coming to our church. It was kind of a miracle how that all played out, because now we have a way to meet with him and get those lessons pumping again. 


     My companion and I started a sports night on Monday nights and it was a great success. We just got home from playing some basketball, and man my body is all torn up and I'm feeling it already, but I had a lot of fun playing with some cool people and some other missionaries as well. We got even more people to come next time and were also going to play some different sports with them as well. Its been a fun way to find people and it seems like it will have lots of success in the future as more and more people hear about it. This week we also had a ward talent show, and I got all the missionaries to come join us for it and even convinced then to sing Taylor swift for our members. It was hilarious, and on Sunday everyone was telling us that they enjoyed our show. I'm really liking the ward, and they seem to be reciprocating that which is awesome. We heard sad news that on the 12th next month, they're splitting our ward and another ward to make the abilene 4th ward. It's going to be sad because we loose a lot of really cool members, but now we get to go to sacrament twice on Sundays so we will still see them. 


     Other than that I've just been outside enjoying the weather and finding people. My hands are hurting from knocking which Is a good feeling. We've taught a good amount of lessons this week, and it just makes me so happy to be a missionary again. I hope yall had a good day and a good week. Thanks for all the support and everything that you do. 


Peace!

A Good Week

Hey!        It hasn't been that long since we last talked! All is well here in Hobbs America. My new companion elder Hepworth is really cool and he lives up to the reputation of being a hard worker. It's been nice to push each other and get lots of work done. We had an incredible day on Saturday where we talked to 31 people and had door step lessons and gave out lots of book of Mormons. It was an exhausting day, but I loved it so much. We have some good appointments set up for this coming week that I'm excited for and some will be with really prepared people, so I'm hoping we can progress with them. Other than that it's been amazing so far and I'm really enjoying it, and hobbs is just getting better and better.        The mission has been a huge Rollercoaster these past 18 months. It's amazing how big the highs are and how hard the lows are, but they are good teaching moments that I'm grateful for. I've gotten out of that wired rut of feeling like...

The Magnificent Work Of The Lord

Look who's back      Man what a great conference weekend. I enjoyed this conference so much and it was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable conference experiences I've had. This was my last time being able to watch conference as a set apart missionary and it just meant a lot to me to hear about the gathering of israel as my mission is coming to a close here in a few short months. I hope yall enjoyed it as well and got spiritually uplifted in the places that you needed to be. I want you guys to pause for a second and brace yourselves for impact. Maybe buckle your seat belts if you will. We're about to talk about an eventful week. Last week I mentioned how we were planning on talking about baptism with a few of our friends. Well we extended invitations to 6 of our friends and they all accepted it! We are going to be baptizing Waldo on the 20th this month (unless I get transfered) and Yvette with her 4 kids on May 11th. We had some pretty incredible lessons ...

TLM (Trenchcoat Loving Mission)

Image
Howdy doodly!      Picture this: We're all having a good time and enjoying life as it goes. Things are going so smooth that it begins to be a little suspicious, and thats when it hit me, that darn trenchcoat. See, last pday my companion and I went thrift shopping with the other missionaries. Unbenounced to me, I would see it. I would come to regret it. The women's trench coat. He buys a women's trench coat and has worn it everyday since. If I didn't know any better I would think he showers, and sleeps in it. I was also given special permission via request, to write about this in today's episode. We were supposed to have a great week with more than 10 lessons, but they all punched through and canceled. Every. Single. One. The same week my companion decides to wear this trenchcoat. Coincidence? I think not. Illuminati confirmed. There must be a spirit attached to it, or maybe a curse, legend has it. Either way it's bad luck. (Its probably not related at all but I ...
