37 Days Left

 Hey everyone!

   What a great week. So much to talk about but I'll shorten it for you all. To start the week on Tuesday we had a day packed of lessons with members. With active, to less active to returning, it was the whole lot. They all went very well, and we also had a lesson with Natalie and Angelo which was amazing. Then for the evening we had a mini transfer call because my comp finishes his mission. My new companion will be Elder Abbott! I'm actually so excited to be comps with him. He's been serving out bush for a while and before that served in Alice a bit. So far the week with him has been great. Stoked for this next transfer.

   Wednesday Elder Keller said goodbye to our friends and members we've been working with. Then us and some other Elders went to the airport to drop Elder Keller off. I'll miss that Elder but he'll do good back in the world. The rest of the day and the next I spent with those Elders. We got to see some of the friends and members in my area, like Christina, Tim, Natalie and Angelo and their family and Jamika. A good list of people but we definitely got more done when Elder Abbott came into the area. 

   The rest of the week we got the grind going. We had a couple lessons with our friends on date for baptism. And big miracle was while going over the baptismal interview questions with Natalie and Angelo, Tanisha walked up asking if she could be baptized also. So now she's on date for baptism which is super exciting.  

   One exciting thing was we were having a lesson with a family we're teaching out back by their fire, when at the end one yelled, "snake!" We looked and their cat was in a battle with this snake. So I jumped up grabbed their shovel by the fire and killed the thing. Felt pretty cool not gonna lie.

   Spiritual Thought: Doctrine and Covenants 84: 20-22

"20 Therefore, in the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is manifest.

21 And without the ordinances thereof, and the authority of the priesthood, the power of godliness is not manifest unto men in the flesh; 22 For without this no man can see the face of God, even the Father, and live."

   Overall this week was great. We've been teaching heaps and our friends are progressing so well. The work is good and the days are slowly coming to an end. 37 days left. Well, as always, love you all. Have a great week. Email me if you want.
