This week has definitely been eventful! We had
the Gladys Knight show this Saturday. So, Gladys goes around and does these
shows in chapels. It's a good way to feel the spirit while listening to
some gospel music while she shares her testimony of the restored gospel. It was
incredible. The choir was so good. They sang some really good songs that had
everyone shouting and clapping which most of y'all know is not like our normal
hymns at church! We went to the 4 pm show and the 7:30pm show because we had
some people from Shelby come to both. It was so lit tho. haha. There were
some young kids in the choir as well who sang and it blew my mind how good they
were. One kid played the ukulele and sang The Lord is my Light. It was
way good--I think it inspired me to bare down and learn how to play the ukulele
when I get home. Before my mission, every time I picked it up, I got
frustrated. haha. It was some good music though and so fun-- was almost like we
got to go to a concert haha. But on the other hand, she bore a super powerful
testimony of the Savior and the gospel. Her husband spoke too and he was
hilarious, but he also bore a really powerful testimony of his conversion and
the restored gospel! I think we got 6 or 7 referrals from it too, so we are
stoked to go follow up with the people.
Also, this week, I got to go on exchanges with the one and only
Elder Montandon!! It was super fun being with him again. He has grown a
lot since last time we were companions. It's also been almost a year and a
half! We had a really good time. Oh… and idk if I told y'all...he got switched
to a Spanish elder! Probably because his trainer didn't do well enough teaching
him in English ;) We taught a lesson in
Spanish and I kind of just sat there and talked English to the kids every
couple minutes. Sometimes when I was with Elder Johnsen, I would get pretty
sleepy in those Spanish lessons lol. Then we taught a girl named Allie at their
bishop's house. It was a really powerful lesson. She's going to get
baptized at the end of this month and she's good friends with Destany and
Haley. It's pretty incredible the story that those 3 girls have. Destany had to
overcome a lot of opposition and she was able to help Haley overcome her
opposition before joining the church now they both are able to help Allie who
is getting a lot of opposition as well. The Lord has incredible timing, and
it's a blessing to get to witness His hand in this work.
Monday, we had a really good lesson with a lady named Toni. We
went over and she opened up to us a little bit and she talked about how she had
a spirit in her house that was kind of tormenting her. We helped her with that
and then had a lesson. I'm so grateful that I get to teach people about the
restoration and how it's blessed my life.
Right now, we are playing some basketball for pday and we went
and threw earlier. We've been going out in the mornings to throw sometimes
which has been a lot of fun.
Love y'all!
Love you mom!

Qs
When are transfers?
They are this week! We
find out tomorrow night probably about what's going down. I have no idea what's
going to happen tho. It's probably a 50/50 of I stay or if I go.
Do you need
anything??
I'm pretty good right now
thanks!
Have you heard anymore
from your coach?
Ya he sent an email out
last week about classes and schedules, pretty much the exact same thing that
you got.
WHAT CLASSES DO YOU WANT
TO TAKE??
I really don't know. I
need you to send me the options. I know I want to try and take some business
and leadership classes.
I am going to call that
school counselor, Paul-something? and get you registered...
Ok thank you, could you
send me the options this week so I can think on it a bit.
