Okay ready for an amazingly crazy week!? It's coming!! So we met with Davey three times this week. We taught him the plan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ lessons on Monday and Tuesday and then Sunday night we went over with brother Mann who really connected to Davey at the pot luck. We talked about the priesthood and Davey said it was the first time he felt the Holy Ghost so strong. He said he is flushing his pack of cigarettes and he is going to make it to the 30th!! I am way bummed I will not be able to finish teaching him before he gets baptized, but I a, so pumped for the choices he and Tina have been making. I have seen a transformation in their attitude, language, spirit and honestly their outward appearance. They look happier and ye just have a glow about them. They are going to be so blessed and a year from now they will be able to go to the temple and that will be an incredible day. I hope I can go and see them then! I love that baptism isn't the end like most churches believe. The temple and salvation are the best goals!
Ricardo and Angie are both getting baptized this Tuesday!! We taught them about four times this week and Angi said she is off coffee, she is only drinking hot chocolate. They have been reading the Book of Mormon together and she said it is true and she is bringing her brothers kids with her to Church. They came to church this week with Eric their son. They were the cutest family ever! We also took them to a baptism Friday night with Jan. It was a couple getting baptized and both Angie and Ricardo felt the spirit. Ricardo said he want getting baptized without Angie ha it was awesome! They were both very nervous about what the white jump suit was. Ricardo thought he had to go find and buy one haha so this morning and 10am we showed them the font and got them both fitted for their baptism. They looked so awesome and incredible. The spirit was so sweet in that exchange. They are ready and together they will make it!! Ricardo wants to listen to the Book of Mormon while he is on the road and bishop gave us he whole set of the Book of Mormon on CD's two transfers ago. We weren't sure who to give them to until Ricardo said that and then I knew...God doesn't do random. Ricardo is so excited, he said he could listen to the Book of Mormon all the way through so many times ha it was so funny. We are also getting him a present of hymns sung by the choir to help him know our hymns in church. He has some dang worthy goals!!!
We taught Eric this week the plan of salvation. He is so funny when he tries to answer all the questions like he knows it all already! I was like no Eric the question was suppose to get you thinking and say I don't know ha not make up lots of stuff. He is trying so hard, it is awesome! He is listening to the Book of Mormon on his phone and Trevor and Gabe have been keeping in touch with him even though they both have been out of town. They both have been so awesome for Eric and it is such a. Testimony builder that we can harvest gods field as missionaries and that even young teenagers can help in gods work. I wish I learned that awhile ago...so teens get out there and help the poor missionaries out! Eric is on date for the 30th!
We went over to Huda's this week and guess what!? She read the Book of Mormon on her phone! Sister staker is going to start going over and reading the Book of Mormon with her. She said she loved the stories and could really connect to shariah! She said she couldn't understand what "yea" meant....it was awesome!!!
Okay so if you haven't guessed I am leaving Gresham....I am super sad but also so excited. My new companion is sister Tualua (she is Tongan). All I have heard is that she is like me but tougher and stronger so I am hoping that means we will kick butt! I am going to hazeldell in Washington. I have only heard good things about the place and I will be staying with members!!! It is so weird because I thought I would stay here my whole mission, but I am too comfortable so I need to keep growing and learning through more adventures ahead of me so that gets me pumped(:
This week was awesome!! A good way to end my third transfer!! Have a great week everyone!!
