Week 41... TRANSFERS!!!

Hey everyone!!  

So, its some other holiday today... meaning I am back at Staples... haha.

This week was super stinking fast!! But, it was super good! So, it's transfers next week, so don't send me any letters that wont get here before next Monday. Me and Elder Lund had a good run together, but now I guess it is going to come to an end. We have already been together for 4 and a half months, and that is a lot longer than usually a companionship stays together. We really do work well though.

This week, we went by Gloria's house. She is an investigator we have had for a while now, a few weeks, but hasn't really been progressing. She has a few kids, so we ask her again if we can meet them. Then, on Friday, we have a meeting with all the Elders in the ward I am serving in. We discuss how we can better get the members to work with us effectively. We discuss how we need to try our best to get members to come out with us, then get them to share a testimony about their missionary experience to the ward in priesthood or relief society. So, we do it. We called up Gloria and asked if we can come meet her family. She says yes. We found out at church last week that Wendy knows her daughters. So, we call up Wendy and Rosa and ask them to come with us. So they do. We taught possibly the most powerful first lesson about the restoration I ever have. Then Wendy bore one of the most heart felt testimonies I have ever heard. Gloria's daughters were glued to Wendy. You could feel the Spirit testifying to them that what Wendy was saying is true. Then, they all accepted baptismal dates as a goal to work for later this month. It was sooo good!! Members, please go out with the missionaries. I testify to you that miracles WILL happen if you choose to sacrifice a little and help out the missionaries in your area. Souls WILL be blessed. Lives WILL be changed.

That's my cool story of the week. I hope you all enjoyed it! :)

Alma 32:27 reads "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words." If you can do no more then desire to believe, work on that desire till you can believe. I promise, if you take the time to act on the desires of your heart, if they are righteous desires, that desire will work inside you and you will be blessed.

Thanks for all your kindness and support! I wish I had more time, but we should probably get out of Staples' hair.

Love you all!

Elder Lloyd
