Wassup everyone! This is crazy that we are already into the 2024 year, I've only got about 8 more months then I'm gonna be flying back to the desert! But my week has been a good one, nothing crazy crazy has happened this week but it's just overall been a good week. This email prolly gonna be a little short but oh well.
So on Tuesday we had a pretty good evening, we went out finding before a lesson and we met this cool guy who said he wanted to meet sometime so we got his info and then we had an awesome lesson with a member about the Book Of Mormon, then we were bout to go home but there was a guy who we recently stopped teaching who we felt impressed to visit, so we go and we were kinda fishy bout it but we said a quick prayer and there was an intense feeling that I may not have the chance to teach him again of we don't go now. So we went and he was home and let us in and we had an awesome super spiritual lesson with him. We were able to find out his issues and we just promised blessings like non other. It was super powerful and we got him to commit to letting us come back more. So that was an amazing blessing from God that day.
Thursday we had district council for the last time with our old district before Fridaywhen transfers happened. Me and my comp however stayed together so we got another 6 weeks here in Oceana!
Saturday we had a few lessons scattered through the day. We had one of the most spiritual lessons with this less active member. He has had lots of problems in his life but we brought a member who went surfing with him when they were younger and they just talked for like an hour. We had a great time with him and got to give him a priesthood blessing before we left. Then later that night we had a lesson with a lady who was super crazy, she basically just preached to us about showing your light and how you can't be preaching repentance while smoking, drinking, cussing, and sleeping with random people. She was honestly so annoying cause she would repeat herself so many times, we didn't even get to teach her anything cause she just talked. We probably won't go back there cause that's kinda a waste of time.
That's basically all that happened this week, we did end up finding 7 new people to teach which was really cool to see. We also got an appointment set back up with our most progressing friend which was a super blessing.
Before I go I guess I'll share a spiritual thought. I was reading 1 Nephi 11 recently and my brother has a favorite scripture which is 1 Nephi 11: 16-17. And something I've always wondered is when the angel says "knoweth thou the condescensions of God?" And so I studied about what that is and I came to know that to condescend means to descend from an exalted point to be as low as what we are on earth, if not lower. And it made so much sense because then the angel in 1 Nephi 11 explains and shows Nephi the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the condescension of God! He was next to God and he descended to mortality and even descended lower than anyone of us. He is the lord and savior and he is the way to eternal joy because he literally knows every pain, sickness, sadness that we will ever experience.
Anyways that's my email, hope yall have a wonderful day and enjoy your week!
