So it is now official. I'm in the last
quarter of the mission. If I had to compare how I feel right now to
someone else, I would say that I feel like Tom Brady from last years
Superbowl. I 'm down in the fourth and have never felt more comfortable.
Its time for the final push to win the game. I am moving areas for this
last quarter. I will be serving in Downtown New Orleans with Elder
Tonumaipe'a, or T cause it is hard to write his name every time haha! I
am excited and can't wait to see what this last 6ish months bring. Oh
and Downtown is a biking area so now I will really feel like a
missionary haha!
And the moment we have
all been waiting for, DONALD IS DUNKED! It was a long hard road but it
has totally paid off! Because Donald is in a wheelchair, we had three of
us in the font to baptize him. It was Elder Israelsen, Hernandez and I
and we had to do the ordinance three times! But hey it all worked out
and Donald is now an official member of the Church! Whoop Whoop!
Other
than that is was the standard missionary week. We did a lot of tracting
and found some really awesome investigators that are super interested
in the message. One of them, Nessia, is about our age going to college
and she was super into the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. She
understood completely the need for a restoration and how the priesthood
needed to be restored if the apostasy actually happened. It was awesome!
We also found a cool new Spanish family that let us come in and teach
and said that we are welcome back anytime! So hopefully the Spanish
Group here really starts to grow!
Well that is all for me this week! Love y'all!
