So this week was pretty crazy and fun, we had transfer and i sent by companion Elder Drollinger home! It was really crazy because this transfer 3 or my 6 comps went home! Now i don't know a whole ton of people in the mission, but it will all be good! But i got a new comp and he is a really cool guy! His name is Elder Crook, and he is from Lyman Wyoming. He has only been out for one more transfer then I have, And he is back in his first area. He was here for 7 and a half months is first time, then he came back here so its going to be a great transfer!
Also sorry for no pictures again, I lost my camera and i am trying to find it! But this week has been pretty cool. Because we have been able to go and find some of the old investigators that Elder Crook and when we was here for the first time, and some of the less actives he saw when we was here. Also he knows the area a lot better then i do so that is a blessing!
But we got a new investigator this week. He is very solid and we really hope that we can get him baptized. His name is Edgar, and he was a boyfriend of one of our members that we have in the branch, and they had a kid together and now they want to start getting back into the gospel more! We had a great lesson with him on Thursday, and he even came to our stake conference on Sunday it was a huge blessing!
But on Sunday we had our Stake Conference and it was very good. We had a member of the 70's come and talk to us, about how we can better our ward counsels in our branches and wards. And how to use them and make them more effective! It was very awesome and he was very inspired. He is the 5th general authority i have gotten to see on my mission! And we are very lucky to have this church be lead by such inspired leaders and they are truly called by god! And on Sunday he talked a lot about the Atonement and how we should be coming to partake of the sacrament weekly. One of the things he said that i really liked was, " It is truly a miracle, that we can come each Sunday, and put our sins and that sacrament altar, and walk out of that meeting as if we have been baptized again!" And it is so true, that if we use the atonement in our life's every single day we can become as clean as we were after we got out of that baptismal font! But I hope that everyone is doing great and stays safe! I am excited to see what the next week has in store for me and for all yall!
