Man this was a busy Sunday. We now attend two wards, Woodbine and Evergreen. One starts at 9, Evergreen, and the other at 11, Woodbine. That means two ward councils to attend, two sacraments to attend, and two times the names to learn and remember! Haha it's a ton of fun though. We have more than a couple of double booked dinners this week haha! That is going to be interesting! We only just got the area book on Sunday so there wasn't much we could do in the Evergreen area until then. On Sunday though we did some stop by's of less actives. Didn't see a single one haha. Good start. My new companion by the way is Elder Johnson. He is awesome! Really good guy. We are going to have a lot of fun this transfer. I can't believe how fast time flies! It is insane! Thirteen months down. Two more and I will be in single digits when it comes to months left!
Well cool story for the week. Denise is on date!!!!!! We are so pumped! She is a stud. We had a lesson with her on Saturday. She was feeling sick but she came anyway. We went in planning on teaching Lesson 4, which is the commandments. At the last second, while sitting with her, we changed it to Lesson 3, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, due to the Spirits request haha. It went amazing! She liked everything we talked about and then accepted to be baptized on February 21!!! HAHA we are so pumped for her! She was still feeling sick Sunday morning, but still came to church as well. All three hours!! She moved her schedule at work around so she could come to church now! She is seriously the best. She is progressing so well and doing so great. It is amazing how well she recognizes spiritual experiences she has. It is a gift that God gave her. She will tell us about how she would be feeling bad, then think of when and what we would teach her and she would instantly feel joy and be happier. She is great at recognizing the spirit. She said how even though she feels sick, when she talks with us and goes to church, it doesn't bother her and she doesn't think about it. She is going to be a powerful member of the church.
Well the next couple weeks will probably be a little crazy as we are still figuring out the new area and what not but it should be fun. Here's a great story on the Pollards for you. Elder Johnson and I visited them a day or so after he got to the area. We went over and it was a fairly normal visit, except for a couple things. They gave us juice, which they always do, but they didn't give us Chips Ahoy cookies which they usually do, and we didn't see Lincoln (the dad) with his shirt off, which we usually do. So the next time we went to visit them I told Elder Johnson that we usually always get juice, Chips Ahoy, and see Lincoln with his shirt off. Well, we show up, first thing they offer is juice. Then they give us two bags of Chips Ahoy that they said they saw in the store and bought us. I knew it was going to be a good visit right then. And then, as if to fulfill the prophesy, as we are leaving, Lincoln comes down with... no shirt!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh man they are the best family ever! Hahahahaha they never cease to amaze me and make me laugh. We laughed all the way to the car! I absolutely love the Pollards. We are eating dinner with them on Saturday and I can't wait until then! They are so much fun and an absolute riot!
Well that's about it for the week. It was a good week. This should be a great transfer and I am looking forward to it. I hope all is well with you back home. Keep up the good work! #JustKeepSwimming!
