Hello everyone!! Sorry I didn't send an email last Monday, we went to the temple a couple weeks back and I sent one then but didn't feel like sending another 4 days later lol. But here we are for another email. My time is getting shorter and shorter and it's crazy to think that just a few more weeks and I'll be in the hot desert again. But none the matter, I'm still lucky enough to be here in Virginia doing what is most important to me and God! So let's get right into my week!
Nothing crazy has been happening other than my last transfer officially starting. We've had lots of changes throughout the mission but I'm lucky enough to stay with my companion for another transfer! We've got a few baptisms lined up for the transfer that I am super excited for. In fact by the end of this next week we should have our friend faith getting baptized!! I'm so pumped!!
We had an awesome dinner with another one of our friends who is getting baptized, her name is Nadia and she is doing fantastic, they haven't come to church In a little bit but they are super solid with the ward! They have been fellowshiped better than any other friend I've seen so I know that once she is baptized, she will be met with a family she never knew she had! The only issue we are running into is that they are super busy so we struggle meeting with them but I know once school starts, we'll be able to crack down with them!
We had to clean our apartment like crazy this week cause we are actually moving apartments at the end of this month so we've been packing things up and stuff like that so that it'll be easy to move when we have to.
We have another friend who is getting baptized on the 17th, his name is connor, he is another kid but he's super cool. His parents have been so nice and hopefully come the 17th he will be ready. He's on the spectrum but when he is taught something he will remember it for a while! The only issue is he has a hard time staying still to listen. But we are going over there this week so hopefully we'll be able to get him situated for the 17th, but please pray for him and us 😅
Other than the 3 friends who are solid for baptism, we've got some more people we've found that are super cool and could potentially get baptized soon! One of them is named Ben and a couple days ago we had an awesome lesson about baptism and the blessings from it. He knows he is gonna be baptized but it's just a matter of when. He has a buddy who is serving a mission and gets back next may and he wants to baptize Ben but we told Ben that is these blessings are something he truly needs right now then he shouldn't have to wait until that day comes to recieve them! He enjoyed the lesson a lot and for the next week we invited him to pray about it and see what God thinks.
We also had another friend who we just randomly called one Saturday to invite to church and wouldn't you know, he came to church on Sunday! He really enjoyed it too, said he hasn't been to church in a while and wanted to learn more!
Other than that we've been having the usual stuff we have to take care of at the beginning of the transfer, we've got zone conference tomorrow which I will be giving my departing testimony in. I'm super nervous because I never thought this day would actually come! But I'm excited so you'll hear more about that next week. We've got exchanges scheduled through this month and interviews scheduled for the 20th of August, where I'll have my departing interview with president Hutchison. Kinda crazy everything has brought me to this point but I'm insanely happy to be here to witness God's work for another 6 more weeks here in Virginia!
Anyways, love yall, keep killing it with whatever your up to. Be God's best version of you! Talk to you in the next one!
