Hey everyone!
It's been
another crazy week as we've had transfers. Elder Blackham left to be a zone
leader in an English ward, Elder Rodriquez returned to his area where he was
before his companion got re-assigned, and now Elder Walker is my companion. He
is a good friend of mine from my last area in South Bay and we both assisted
the Hermosa Liahona Ward. It's been cool to hear the success they've had in the
ward as they had quite a few baptisms and more coming on the way. We'll be
going back for a baptism this Sunday. So I'm getting excited to go back!
Anyway, Elder Walker is from Mississippi, and he has an unique southern accent.
In some way or another he speaks some really fluent Spanish as he's been
serving for about a year. He was made the new district leader here. He's got a
lot on his shoulders with a new responsibility and we both are going to be
learning the area together. It's been a struggle with our investigators this
week with Paula and her family as hardly got contact with them. It's so
frustrating but we at least know she has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and
Joseph Smith, I'm not too concerned. We had a good lesson with Sandra and her
daughter Stephanie this week where we established the possibility of baptism.
Because they like the church, they are considering it. Unfortunately they
didn't show to church on Sunday. I'm excited to work with Elder Walker because
he's very bold and has some great ideas to get our area moving. One special
thing we got to do this Saturday was doing service for a church who was handing
out school supplies for kids in the city. We were assigned to help fit shoes
for the kids. It took place in a parking lot in the middle of the day, and
there were thousands of people who showed up to come. It was the craziest scene
ever! People waited 3 to 4 hours in line to see if they could get a pair of
shoes. Many of the smaller sized shoes ran out really fast so it was hard to
tell the little kids that there was no shoes there size. But they had a lot of
really nice pairs and it was cool to see their faces when they tried them on. I
was grateful to help those kids that needed help. I am looking forward to this
week.
Os amo tanto!
Elder Marrott
