Week 52!!

Week 52

"Gwaftanoon!" Translation, "Good afternoon!"

This week was so awesome! We have some awesome people that we are working with. To start out, I wish to talk about Shem. He is the coolest 13 year old kid around. He is so smart, and he came to church by himself (which is a big deal here) and took notes through all three hours. It was so cool. He is planning on being baptized on July 22nd. 

This week we also went on what we call "Teaching Visits". So Elder Thompson and I will go and teach 3-4 lessons with each companionship to observe and learn from their teachings. Also we will help with anything they are struggling with. This week we went to teach with Elder Johnson (we started our missions together) and Elder Sarvento. Both did a fantastic job and I learned a cool scripture chain about faith. Plants need 3 things to grow: Soil, water, light. 

Soil - Helaman 5:12 (foundation)

Water - John 4 (living water)

Light - 3 Nephi 11:10-11 (light)

Awesome!

Later on in the week we went and visited Elder Kyler! and Elder Hunsaker. We had great fun and it was good to see them. We had some great opportunities to learn on these visits. "Everything good will be hard." - Elder Thompson. This is true. The mission is hard sometimes. But it is really good too. I know this. I know that I have a Father who loves me. I know that Christ lives. I know that your prayers are coming and are carrying me along to make is through. I love you all so much!
