CHANGING TRACKS - 19 February 2024

Hello everyone!! It's a great day here in Virginia! The weather is amazing, still cold some days but most of the time when the sun's out it’s nice!!!

Anyways, this past week has been awesome! Lots has been going on but it's all gonna be for the good! I think I mentioned it last email but we had to drive up to Richmond a couple times this week so Tuesday was lowkey shot. We didn't have much happen then, Wednesday was a long day of finding, we did have an awesome lesson with our friend at Panera bread. She had lots of questions written in a notebook so we just went over all her questions about Christianity and the Book of mormon. 

Thursday we had lots of meetings and traveling as we had to pack up my temporary comp and get everything ready for transfers which transfers happened on Friday. And I am now with Elder Sims, from what I know, he's a beast. I'm excited to get going on the transfer and get into everything so we can start to see some miracles!! We also had a fire lesson with ty on Friday which went really well! Then Saturday was a longer day of finding. We did some weekly planning too which took like 3 hours. 

Sunday was one heck of a day. We unfortunately didn't have anyone attend sacrament which was super super sad but we were able to schedule a couple lessons with friends in the evening. One was with ty and as soon as we got to the lesson, we knew it was gonna be an interesting lesson. We talked bout tithing which from knowing ty, we knew it was gonna be hard to hear that. But when we were talking we had a member who has such a strong testimony of tithing and the blessings poured out from God. Ty took this lesson hard though cause his circumstances were really freaking him out and then to hear he has to pay tithing was hard to hear. But he had the faith, he just basically said if this doesn't work, he was gonna lose everything. So we promised him crazy blessings and the spirit was so strong despite the fear and doubt that was running through ty's head. Fortunately things started clearing up and ty began to be hopeful! So this Saturday ty will be able to be baptized into God's true church on earth and he will see how the lord will bless him as he lives the gospel! 

Anyways that's my email, this next week gonna be crazy just because of all the planning we will do for ty and also trying to grind the find. I never remember how hard transfers are until I have them. All the missionaries around me all changed, either went home or somewhere else and it was honestly depressing but Sunday was a day I needed to reboot and get focused back on the important things. I made so many great friendships this past transfer and I know they'll live on forever, for now I'll go back to work and serve the Lord! Aight talk to yall next week!!! Love yall tons!!!!!
