Another week is already gone and past....and another transfer. Last night I got my very last transfer call. For the last 6 weeks of my mission I'll be staying here in Abilene covering the 3rd ward and YSA branch and will finish Elder Van Tassell's training. I was SO relieved to know I would be staying here for my last one. Woulda been pretty upset if I had to say goodbyes and pack up honestly😅 but even tho this place is full of apostasy I'm grateful to be sharing the message of the Restoration for 6 more weeks here. Haha I have truly loved the time I have gotten to serve the Lord here!
This week was a pretty good week. Just grinding trying to find people to teach, had a 2 hour bash with some college kids over lunch at Cracker Barrell, trying to get young single adult members to get to church, and the best part of my week was that I got to go to Lubbock to the temple. We have been planning on doing this for a while now, but Kélé and Amos invited me to come and do baptisms for the dead at the temple with them. It was very special to be able to now do work for their family members. While we were there in Lubbock Elder Van Tassell and I were also able to do an endowment session (which was in Spanish btw🤣), and help witness for some sealings with Connor Ellis. A (homie) member in 2nd ward. All in all we spent 5 hours in the temple just bumping out ordinances. It was great. And to throw the cherry on top, I got to see the one and only Dale Keyser before we headed home. It was good to see him and catch up a little. He's doing great and continuing to go to church and apply Christ's Atonement when necessary which makes me very happy.
I'm so grateful for the gospel and especially the infinite love our Savior gives us. Without his Atonement we would be helpless, but because of his suffering we can overcome ALL things. I know this is God's church on earth and the best way to find happiness in life is to apply Christ's teachings and Atonement.
Love yall and hope everyone has a fantastic week.
