This week was busy with some traveling to meetings and a exchange with the YSA missionaries here in Abilene. I went with Elder McKenzie on my exchange and it was a good time. (Hence being sick) it seems like every exchange I have ever had on my mission either goes perfect and all of our plans work..... or literally everything falls through!! And this one everything fell through, but we were still able to see some sweet people with our backup plans.
The past week or 2 we have been trying to spend some more time out on our bikes. Even though our butts were sore for the first few days we have had some good success with finding some new people to teach. We found a lady that is a leasing professional at an apartment complex all because we had to use the restroom and the closet bathroom we could for sure use was a mile away..... heavenly father works in mysterious ways because once we got in there we didn't have to go, but had a great talk with Cynthia. Taught her one more time this week and has some great potential and interest in the gospel.
Yesterday we went and saw the Smith Family (Kélé and Amos). We got some sad news that Kélé wont be able to be baptized on the 23rd of March. She is getting another cochlear implant and the surgery is scheduled for the 19th. It is a good thing because Amos is preparing to baptize them but sad cause I most likely wont be able to be here for that. But, please keep them in your prayers. They are doing awesome and working hard on overcoming their vices but still struggling with some things.
Elder Thornblad and I are reading the Book of Mormon this transfer and gonna finish by the end of the transfer. I've learned a lot this time around and really been so grateful for the testimonies and writings of their faith in Christ. I am so grateful for the knowledge of the Savior that I have. I know that as we turn to Christ when our lives are hard we gain strength and peace through His Atonement. I hope yall have a great week. The church is true.
Love, Elder Rose
