This week was great!!! First of all we had transfers this past week and I got a new companion and when I say new companion I do mean it. He is fresh from the MTC. I am training him to do missionary work. My new companion's name is Elder May. He is from Gilbert Arizona and is really white. His first full day we were biking around and he got really sun burnt. You will see a picture of that.
Elder May's first day we were biking to an appointment and talked with everyone on the way. We met one man named Alex, he is 21. We yelled at him from a distance and offered to say a prayer with him and he accepted so we went and sat down at a table by where he works and taught him the restoration and set his baptismal date. We met with him the next day and committed him to come to church and he did. He loved it too. he is another one on the radar.
Bill wont be able to be baptized this weekend either due to his work causing him to have to miss church. It will have to be pushed back another week. June looks like a good week for baptisms!
Cheryl is doing great still, she loves the Gospel so much. We had a lesson at the Petersons home again and they cooked dinner for us. Ill tell you what there is nothing better than a home cooked meal and then teaching a lesson at members home to a really solid investigator. That is the missionary dream right there! Next to baptisms.
Gladys Knight came to Florida!! She came to our mission and our stake and did an event with her choir she conducts. I had never heard of her until now but wow that was one of the coolest experiences I have had on my mission. I have never really heard too much Gospel music but it was great! It was like Motab but a little more exciting so it got me pumped up! She gave her testimony as well on how she came into the church. Her kids started investigating the church before she did. They got baptized and then told Gladys about the things in the church so she came and it all went uphill from there. It was a HUGE missionary tool. In order for members to get a ticket they had to invite a friend. We are excited to see the effects from her testimony.
We may not be famous but we all do have a testimony that we can share. It is the most valuable thing that we posses, more valuable than anything that money can buy. I would advise you all to share that. You better believe that I am! I love being a missionary!!!
