Hey y'all :)
Well
it's transfer week and I have some news. I am going to Morgan City. Not
sure how I am feeling about it. I am really sad to leave Downtown after
only two here and I am sad to be leaving J. We were getting this area
going and we were having so much fun together!! But I am getting an
awesome comp in Mo' City. I will be with Elder Brown and he should be
the comp that kills me off! So I am excited for this part! I couldn't
have asked for a better final comp!
The
other super cool thing from this week was to see four members of a
family that I started teaching in Chalmette get baptized!! Their names
are Rashekka (she is the mom), Makara, Markel and Marquis! It was sooo
awesome to see! Markel was in the room talking with Elder Boyd and me
after getting into the baptism white and his mom comes walking in and
just breaks into a huge smile, runs over and hugs him and says that she
is so proud of him and happy that they get to be baptized together! I
have never seen her so happy and it was the most amazing thing I have
ever seen! I am so happy I was serving in an area where I was able to go
to the baptism! I am so happy for them and their choice to get
baptized! The Lord has already blessed them so much and will continue to
do so!
Well y'all I am sad that this is my
last email from New Orleans but it is going to be good out there in Mo'
City! Elder Brown and I are going to have a lot of fun and get that area
going! Farewell NOLA, I shall miss you!
