Yo what's good my bruthas and sistas in christ!!! So I definitely forgot to click send yesterday on this email so your getting it today! It has been a couple weeks since I've written and I promise I'm going to get better at writing every week. But getting on with the past couple weeks, things have been interesting and fun to adjust to.
Big news is I found out last Saturday that I'm actually gonna be transferring out of Stafford and I'm going to be heading down south to the wonderful zone of Virginia Beach!! It's definitely gonna be a blast, even though it's winter time now basically lol. But I'm super excited to serve the people in Virginia Beach and I'm very interested to see how the work is down there.
Basically the rest of the past couple weeks has just been a finding grind, we haven't had many lessons with non members at all, which is super sad, and that just leaves us with lots and lots of time to fill in our day. So we fill it with finding, we go to Walmart parking lots for an hour, then we go knock doors for another two hours, we call people, go knock more doors and the hardest part is all of the "NOs" but we keep pressing forward praying for miracles along the way and fortunately we were able to see some miracles. Just this past weekend we were at Walmart and both me and my comp did not feel like being there so we found an investigator close by and stopped by and actually got in contact with them, gave them both copies of the Book of mormon and set up a return appointment. So even in a slow slow area, the work still moves forward.
General conference was also this past weekend and boy was it one of the best conferences I've ever watched! It was legendary!!! And theres gonna be yet another temple in Virginia!!!! Things are popping off in this dispensation and it's such a blessing to be a part of it all. Of course one thing that stuck out to me was the Think Celestial but also the huge emphasis on our freedom to choose what law we want to live! I love the boldness of our prophet and apostles to lay the fact and truth that God is truth and that no popular worldy opinion is truth. God's law won't change and its up to us to live this Celestial law to then be that example of the tremendous blessings that come from living this law so that others can come to know the truth for themselves! General conference was amazing and I hope yall enjoyed it!!
Anyways, that's pretty much everything important from this last week, like I said, we've been doing a lot of knocking and street contacting so it's just grind, grind, grind. But I'm so hyped for Virginia Beach and I can't wait to get there and start fresh and go finish the work that's been set forth in my next area!!! Anyways love yall!! Enjoy your week!!
