Transfers....Again

Well somehow transfers have snuck up on me again. But don't you worry I am staying in Estacada but my 2 comps are getting the boot. Elder Westover is going to be a DL somewhere in the city it's not Portland but one of those many cities up there and Elder Harris is leaving me after only 1 transfer he is going to Cedar Mill hopefully he makes it to Taiwan soon. And I am getting a new comp named Elder Chapman, I don't know much about him but hope he is ready for what he is about to get himself into lol. I am also a DL all by myself now which is crazy but I'm excited! 

 

This week has been fun a lot has happened and gotten a lot done. Still having a tough time finding new people but that's alright all God's timing. We got mega bashed by one of the dudes we are "teaching" and whenever people want to bash, I get way too worked up and get way too defensive which is never good for feeling the spirit if you were wondering haha. But we got it worked out and a good adventure. 

We had an awesome lesson with an inactive member. She was baptized a while ago but kinda went inactive when she moved. Well we have been working with her for a while now and this lesson we talked about President Nelson's talk Sunday morning (which is awesome) and invited her to listen to all the talks. The spirit was so strong and she wants to come back to church just super nervous. But we will keep working with her. 

We work with A LOT with inactive members. We have like 500 members profiles in the ward and only like 100 or so come. So that's fun. 

 

Something I have felt very strongly this week was the love God has for all his children! It doesn't matter who you are or what you're doing he still loves you and wants the best for you. Yes he has standards of TRUTH but that's again because of love! Your Heavenly Father will do everything he can to help you come back to him, but he will not take away your ability to choose to make right or wrong choices. So choose the right it's always better and I promise you will be happier.

 

Love
