Elder Caden Kapp: God Has a Sense of Humor

Guess what time it is??? Weekly email time!!! Woohoo! If you want to know about the title of the email, it's about transfers later in the email. Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing great. This week was all over the place, but we ended on a high note. For starters, last pday was pretty great. We played heaps of volleyball and painted shoes. Did I mix up American and Australian sizes? Maybe. But will I still wear them? Absolutely haha.

Then for Tuesday, we had a couple of lessons which went good. We door knocked some and ended up visiting some members. So overall it was a pretty alright day. Wednesday we tried to visit heaps of friends and were striking out left and right. Finally we hit a foul ball by just getting the door opened. So we had lots of time to door knock, in which we found more people to teach. Then we visited one of our members and he was dressed up as Santa and asked us to take a picture with him. It made him happy and now I have a picture with Santa in Australia. So a win, win situation. After that we had a lesson with Tunui which he's still doing awesome. And then one with his neighbor Stephen who's super nice. Then to close the day, we had our last District Council with this District.

Thursday was ok. We had a lot of appointments fall through. So we door knocked heaps but nothing too exciting came from that. But we had a lesson with John which went very well and very long. Boy does he like to chat. And then to end the day we started an exchange with the Zone Leaders. Elder Cardiff came here to TTG with me. Man was it needed. So Friday, our exchange was beast. We had a service in the morning so can't hate that. And then we had a lesson with our friend David. That went super well and he's started to keep commitments! Super stoked about that. And then we had lessons with some struggling members and those went amazing. We then got in contact with some of our friends and were able to talk a little and set up some appointments. And then we door knocked a bit which was great. After that we had a lesson with Margaret and Elder and Sister Sant joined. And let me tell you, that lesson was beast. Margaret is doing amazing still and is loving the church. So that was great. And then to close the night we had another lesson with our friend Va'a who has us over for Bible study. But we were able to talk to him about the Book of Mormon. And that went good, he wants us back again. So yeah, the exchange was beast.

Then to close the week, Saturday, we had a lesson in the morning which went amazing. And then service after for this other person. Then we helped a member put up shelves and went to some lessons after that. We had a very long lesson with this guy who doesn't want more than the Bible. But he was willing to listen to us, we shared a lot of Bible Verses and now he wants us back. So we'll see how that goes. Then we had some more lessons that went actually really good. And then Sunday we had Stake Conference and I was in the choir for it so I had to sing. But it was a super good conference. After we cleaned for our flat inspection because it was pushed back 4 days. And then we visited people and when we went to leave, our neighbor pulled up and offered to give us a ride to the bus stop. He had his son in the car and was very nice. A little miracle. And then we door knocked up to the baptism our ward had for one of the members. It was super cool to attend that. And then later that night we had transfers...

Now the moment you've waited for, will Elder Kapp spend a year in the mission in just two areas, or will he be transferred? The answer... I'm staying and TRAINING AGAIN!!! MY THIRD GREENY! And guess what, there's only three in the intake. So yeah that happened. God really does have a sense of humor. Guess we'll see what happens.

A little spiritual thought is when we put full trust in the Lord, he'll bless and help us greatly. Even if we can't see where it'll lead, he has a plan and we need to trust that plan.

Well again I love you all. I hope you have the greatest week! Talk to you next week.
