Hey,
Today
was an exciting then boring Pday. We started off by going to a joint
zone Pday activity with President and Sister Hymas. Is was really fun.
We got to play telePictionary and reverse charades. It was fun. So fun I
get giddy just thinking about all the fun it was. We had some really
good chili cheese dogs.
After
that I got to do some real world stuff. I spend 1 hour on the phone
trying to figure out my college stuff. I spent about 80% of the time on
hold while the people tried to figure out what to do with me. I was
finally able to get it figured out to where I can get start on the
college stuff.
This
has been a really busy week, it has been full of blessings. To start
with exchanges, Elder Steel and I were able to contact a lady named
Silvia. he didn't have much time to talk because she said she was
moving. We offered our help and she said that she would give us a call
in a few days. I have had a lot of people say that they would give us a
call but they never do. Slivia called and asked if we could help her. We
were able to go and help her pack up a u haul truck. We then were able
to call and get some missionaries to help her on the other side. It was
cool to see how here heart was softened. we were able to give her a Book
of Mormon and testify of the blessings that come from the gospel. I
love to do service for people. They have such a change in their
countenance to makes them so much more open to the gospel. Elder Steel
is a really good missionary. He has really been hitting the scriptures
to gain a solid scriptural knowledge based on christ. I was amazed to
see the amount of scriptures that he was able to use as we were able to
talk and teach people. He is growing and changing to be like our savior.
The growth that people can have through our saviors atonement is
exceedingly estonishing.
Another
miracle we had this week was when a member pulled us out of sacrament
meeting and told us there was a non member asking if he could have a
Book of Mormon. We were able to talk with Frank and give him a copy of
the Book of Mormon and a Restoration Pamphlet. After we had finished
testifing a member came up and did the same thing to help them feel
welcome. He wasn't able to stay for church, but he did say that he would
give us a call if he had any questions. It was a really cool experience
to see that there are people who are searching out the word of god.
My
compaion was just called to be an assitant to the president. I have to
tell you that I am a little sad to see Elder Ravsten go. I am going to
miss him being my companion. He has been a great influence for me. He is
going to do some really great things. Transfers are next week so the
next time i email home i will be telling you all the juicy deatails of
what next transfer will intell.
This
coming weekend we have a baptism of someone that we have been working
with for about 3 weeks. Her name is Arianne. She will be getting
baptized then head down to Utah to watch a General Conference with some
of her fellowshippers. It is so fun to be able to see people chang and
enter the waters of baptism.
On Sunday
I was able to interview two young girls who my trainer and I found
alomost 2 years ago. They both past their interview and will be gettiing
baptized this weekend as well. I can not always understand the lords
timing but I can testify that it is perfect. when i interviewed them I
knew that this was their time to get baptized. Their names are Lucy and
Selina. They are so sxcited to get baptized! I am really excited for
them as well.
I
was also able to catch my companion falling a sleep on the job!
Missionaries have a hard time sometimes staying awake. Those early
mornings can really get you some times.
Hope that you have the best week of your life!! Continue to work hard at this thing we call life!
Love Elder Berry
