☆ Tania- Absolutely still elect. she's having her prayers answered and having powerful experiences with the Book of Mormon. Asked how to share the gospel with her friend and family. Told us she wants to be married in the temple. Met with bishop for an hour and still didn't run away. Never met anyone like her on my mission. So excited for her to enter into a covenant
☆ Elijah- absolutely a king. met with him, he came to church after working a 12 hr grave shift and no sleep. Finalized his baptism date!!! He's been reading his scriptures and praying and feels like he is receiving so much strength and guidance. He said he missed church so badly!
☆ Tobi is preparing for baptism!! Finally, we've only invited him 3 times haha. He tore his acl so it's been tricky to meet with him
☆ Jacob- SO elect. Met him Wednesday he came to Thursday night institute and church. Read 12 pages of the bom in two days. Is totally chill asked about baptism…. really astonished such a king! Also, not that this matter to y'all but he's the first white dude that has come to church and not ran away… so glad we oym(open your mouth) to everyone!
☆ Paige- wow just wow. She is the cutest catholic girl. She has a cousin in Utah who has been meeting with missionaries and telling her all about it. So, when we ran into Paige she really wanted to meet. She brought a friend named Devan and we had an amazing lesson. The spirit was so present, and they shed some tears. They openly and gladly took the Book of Mormon. Eger to meet again!
◇ This week has been a bit crazy. Well really that last two weeks. Sickness has taken over the Columbus area. Between the flu and some nasty cold everyone is sick. We took our turn and are now on the uppity up. Ministered to some cute sisters who had the flu and some cold or covid. Both have been in for a week just absolutely destroyed. Enjoyed interviews and got to give all the sisters a valentine! It was my last interview with President. Pretty crazy. I definitely am not ready to come home. Have been feeling a lot of anxiety about leaving Ohio. Finding has been rather difficult but nonetheless we are on our talking grind. Never pass up an opportunity to testify. We met a few people that could really progress. We are finding less but the ones we do find are actually keeping commitments so that's very exciting. Had a miracle. Our recent convert who took a step back came to two activities and even brought a friend. It was amazing. Our recent convert Bobby is in the BVI living his best life on a yacht. That about did me in. The jealousy is real especially considering it down poured snow.
Have had absolutely phenomenal studies. It's been very healing for the soul. I'm Always so reluctant to end the study. Spent some good time with Jen this week. She's another recent convert who is a solid solid star!! We had an opportunity to serve a cute old lady. It was pouring rain, and this little grandma was hunched over taking the smallest steps I've ever seen, stopping about every 3 steps to put down two bags. Her pants were soaked and her shoes looked as if they were drenched in a swimming pool. At first, she denied Help but just asked for some direction. After watching her for a few minutes we approached again and insisted she allowed us to help. We got to carry her bags and get to know her as we walked her to a bus stop. She's a wonderful woman who has lived an amazing life. She has worked all sorts of Jobs and enjoys being outside and walking. I'm sure it is now very painful for her. She was walking to the hospital because her feet have been in a lot of pain. So sad. It was so hard not to give her a ride. Sweet, sweet Patty pray for her!
There was some trying hours and days… lots of prayers. Lots of lunch naps.
The 14th is coming up wayyy to quickly, feeling very connected to alma 26
