Hey Everyone,
This week has been great - with lots of things going on and things to look forward to. This week we had the pleasure of Elder Christofferson speaking to our mission, though because of the new COVID omicron variant, it was online. He talked a lot about how people are placed in the right missions and the Lord really makes it clear where people are supposed to go. He talked about sometimes they would be impressed to assign someone to a certain mission even knowing they wouldn't make it there for a while, if at all, but there was a reason behind that too. The meeting was amazing, and I really felt the spirit. There is nothing else like being taught from an Apostle. It's like a mini general conference just for you.
This week, two sisters we are teaching, Orianna & Friorenza, accepted a baptismal invitation for next Saturday, which is super exciting. Their parents had been inactive and are coming back, which is wonderful to be a part of. We also have been running around like crazy because three members of our district have gotten strep in the last two weeks, so we needed to go and help them out. We also set up appointments to start teaching at least three new people this week, which is good.
Sadly, my companion Elder Hoffman will be leaving to go to Pleasant Grove, and I will be getting a new companion, Elder Allen. Elder Hoffman has been a great companion and I feel like I learned a lot from him and hopefully I will be able to learn even more from my new comp.
There is much to be excited about. Erin, one of the people I was teaching in Lehi for a while, got baptized on Christmas and waited to tell her parents (who had been hoping for this for months) till that morning, as a Christmas present. Also, Trenton, another person I taught in Lehi, finally got permission from his parents to get baptized - so it is becoming a wonderful start to a new year.
