Hey everyone, this week was awesome! We had some amazing things happen!
Thursday: Thursday was my first time getting a new companion! It wasn't scary really but it definitely made me nervous! So my new companion is Elder Kamauu. He is hawaiin and pretty sweet. We get along awesome and he is an obedient and hard working missionary so I'm excited for my last transfer here. We had a pretty awesome experience that night. We went to cordination meeting and we set this units goals for baptisms and saves this year. So I started making a list of everyone we know who could be baptized in the comming months and there are 21 investigators I feel could be baptized. It was cool to see it written down. I'm so happy for the progress I have been able to see in this area. We have been doing what Preach my Gospel teaches to do, and that is find teach and baptize. We got the find and teach part and I think that we will see many baptisms come out of Logan! Elder Kamauu didn't even know what to say when he saw how many lessons we teach here and the investigators we have so he is super pumped!
Friday: We set up and attended a funeral for a member of the branch today. It was sad but happy. Me and the Morgans and Elder Kamauu sang Abide with me tis even tide and it was nice I guess. I had to start us off so that was scary cause we didn't have anyone playing the piano. We went over to Eric and Kim's after but they had to go to the hospital because she was having contractions and stuff. I don't really know about babies but I think she might have it soon haha. Then we went over to Ron and Brittney's and we talked and taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and then commited her to follow the word of wisdom ( ron wouldn't). It is kinda scary bringing things like that up to someone who has been smoking for so long, but as we trust in the spirit and teach with power that fear goes away. I just try to focus on how much it will help them. And then we commited them to church and both of them said they would come finally! After that we went to the big ugly auction and bought a gallon of tide laundry detergent for 6 bucks haha. That is a missionaries dream!
Saturday: So we woke up Saturday, did our morning stuff, got in the car to go to Momma Janes for breakfast and realized we had nooooo miles left so we were kinda stuck. So we wallked down to Ron and Brit's to talk to them a little and we just shared a spiritual thought since they had to leave soon. Then we walked to Ranae Kinser's house and we taught her and it went well. We taught about the Parables of Christ because she had some questions about them. Then we set it up so next time we will teach her the plan of salvation. Then we walked around Logan and talked to people and invited them to learn and all that. After we went to Sis Nisbets house because she hasn't been coming lately and we resolved some concerns with her and it was a great experience. She said she needed to come back to church. We love everyone in this branch, they are awesome. Afterwards we went to the Senators and waited for chris to show up and we taught them some parables of Christ also. We committed Chris to come to church tomorrow. That evening we still hadn't heard from Jeremy so we texted Brother Toney and said he didn't need to go to pick him up in the morning.
Sunday: Sunday morning we got a text from Jeremey saying he wanted to come and that he was getting ready, so we frantically tried to get a hold of Brother Toney but couldn't so we were super bummed out, because no one else could or would get him. So right before church started we had Chris there, Ron and Brittney there, and Brother Toney did get Jeremy so he was there and Brenty was there and Tim was there, so we had 6 investigators at church! That just doesnt happen in West Virginia so we were super super stoked! It was a great Sunday and it was fast and testimony meeting so I went up and bore my testimony . As I was lookking out seeing all of our investigators and the branch members I just felt so much love for them and I have always been a cry baby so I started crying and couldn't stop. I'm gonna miss this area. After church I was talking to Mickey about going on a mission. I have gotten an awesome relationship with him and really love him. 2 months ago I had brought it up with him and he was like no way am I going. But now he wants to go and is actually planning on doing it! We are taking him out with us this Saturday. I'm excited for him, he is such an awesome young man. After church we went and saw Jeremey and we taught the commandments to him. It was cool to see him at church. Everyone he talked to he would say, do you know whats on march 15? my baptism!! He is super excited and we are too. After we went to the Haneys and taught them a little more detail about the restoration since we didn't have enough time for the plan of salvation. It was like 6 pm now and we were ready to end our fsat so we went back home and over to the Morgans for dinner at 7, and we had Ron and Brit over for dinner which was awesome, but Ron wanted to fix something underneath the apartment and we didn't want to be rude and eat without him, so we ended up fasting for 26 hours haha. I was definitely ready to eat! But it was really cool to have them over and we played some games with them and the Morgans and just fellowshiped with them. Their little baby Montanna is 6 months old so I played with her a lot cause i miss my twin brothers haha.
