Well this week was just peachy! It was a great start to a new transfer and I was able to feel the spirit and grow a lot! Conference was also great, I am excited to go over them again.
This week we were able to continue teaching the new member lessons to the man who was in prison and then was baptized. he is so awesome and a life long friend! he told us a bit more about his life and it was amazing o hear the amazing change he has made, can't even imagine what he was like before because he is such a nice guy now but that is what Jesus Christ can do to people. he said he might write an article of his conversion story and submit it to the Ensign, that would be so cool!
Also I forgot to write about this but a couple weeks ago we were able to go out withone of the priests and it was so cool. His name is Andrew and he's a senior and super scared to go on a mission. He didn't feel like he would be able to do it but after going out with us for a few hours, he totally changed. It was so neat to be able to see someone change so quickly from "I won't be able to serve a mission" to " I can totally do this!" I am excited for him and we are going to keep taking him out with us. Andrew is going to start his mission application papers pretty soon and he will be an awesome missionary!
We were able to teach one of the 8 year old in the ward all the lessons before he was baptized this week and that was nice. It makes me realize that we are so lucky to know the answers to questions like "Where did I come from and why am I here and where will I go?" Answers we know at such a young age while some very experienced people still wonder about.
Conference was also great! We were able to watch it at the church building and at some members homes. It was nice to have that spiritual boost. I think this was one of the most spiritual weeks of my mission. The Lord definitely showed me a lot of my weaknesses, which is awesome because that means he loves me and I'm growing closer to him! But it was refreshing to feel what Christ can do to change us if we are willing.
We already have a super busy next week planned out so I am excited, this transfer is going to fly by! Anyways I hope everyone is doing well and will reread the conference talks!
Love,
Elder Morgan
