Happy Monday everyone.
This week has been a really eventful one. To start out our week we had Zone conference on Tuesday. Me and Elder Terry were asked to instruct everyone on the safeguards to technology. It was a pretty good Zone conference. Right after Zone conference we had exchanges with the elders that are in Clovis. I went with Elder Van Der Beek, he is a cool guy. His Dad is actually in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, crazy!! We had a pretty good exchange full of knocking doors and some service!!
This week we got a referral for a guy named Blake. He requested a book of Mormon. We have met with him three times this week, and he is already on track to be baptized on October 6th. He has told us his story and he has been one of the most prepared people to hear the gospel that I've ever met. He doesn't have much here in Lubbock because he just barely moved here. He actually stays in the Salvation Army at night for a place to sleep and we teach him in the "Enrichment Room" there.....haha it is super ghetto. Always keep my head on a swivel cause ya never know who is coming in there. But he is always wanting to learn and wanting to meet with us whenever he can. He came to our baptism on Saturday, and he also came to stake conference yesterday. We actually had members pick him up for both of those. He already knows the Book of Mormon is true, and is willing to act on everything because of the feeling he has from the gospel.
This week we also had Madison's baptism. It was great. She had tons of family come out of town to support her, and tons of members from the ward were there also. There was some great talks given and the spirit was very strong. She asked me to baptize her which helped me feel the spirit even more. It was a confirmation of knowing that I truly was sent to Lubbock, Texas for a reason. Whether the people I come in contact get baptized or not. It has been such a learning experience to serve the people in this part of the Lord's vineyard.
The Church is True. Hope y'all have a great week.
Love, Elder Rose🌷
