Week 9: 2nd Transfer

October 10, 2016

Oh snap this has been a fantastic week. I had so much fun preaching and teaching this week and the Lord blessed us with a lot of success. It was the last week of our 1st transfer and I can't believe it happened so fast. 


The definite highlight of the week was the baptism of both Nathan and Jeff! We had a service for them both and it was amazing to see them enter into that covenant with God and start on the path to Eternal Life. I had the privilege of being able to baptize Nathan and that just made it all the more awesome. There really is nothing like being a missionary.

Every week I understand a little bit more about how blessed I am to be a member of the Lord's church. While reading Alma, I've found that the theme in my eyes really is that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings joy like nothing else and as I have been serving a mission, I have felt that joy more fully and want to share it with everyone. 


One of the most spiritual experiences this week for me was being able to read the Book of Mormon with an investigator we have who wasn't really understanding it. We read out loud a chapter and the spirit was so strong and helped her to understand it so well. the power of the Book of Mormon is so real.


Elder McCleve and I were able to teach a couple lessons on our own this week and they were some of the most spiritual and effective lessons I have taught while out here. Apparently the Lord also thought we did OK without our trainer because we found out that Elder Rogers is getting transferred tomorrow! Elder McCleve and I will be finishing up our training on our own and are co-senior companions. I'm not too worried about it though because we have the Lord to make up for any of our short comings as new missionaries. Hopefully I don't mess it up though haha. 


Anyways I hope everyone is doing great and I love you all.
     
Love,
Elder Morgan
