Howdy howdy everyone.
Cant believe it is Monday already. This week has been so good and a little crazy too😅 to start out the week we had District Council. I asked Elder Van Tassell to give the instruction. He made me a proud father and gave a good instruction. After DC we went on exchanges with the Elders in Sweetwater. I went with Elder Evans. Long story short he has told others before that I'm not a hard worker...so....me being me Haha😏😅we spent 5 hours grinding in 100° weather the whole time, found 4 new people to teach, taught a sweet lesson, and also walked almost 9 miles. Thought I was gonna kill the boy.... But we saw some miracles in meeting those people just because we were walking!!
These past 2 transfers it has SO tough to find solid people to teach and we have been working so hard to see success but just haven't had much luck. But this past week the Lord has blessed us big time. We've gotten 4 referrals from members and 3 of them came to church yesterday. We have had some awesome lessons with them this week. They each have some great potential and will most likely be baptized in a month or so! We went from teaching 2 people like 6 weeks ago to now teaching 12. And 7 of them are very solid!! President Hales made the comment to me in my interview last transfer to just keep setting the table for others to feast on. It makes me sad I wont be able to teach any of these amazing people, but the Lord has blessed us for our hard work! It hasn't been anything that we are doing besides being in tune with the spirit to find these people.
Alright here is the crazy for the week......so we were driving home for lunch one day and see this big white man, probably 300lbs, carrying these 35 pound dumbbells just trucking along the sidewalk having a good ol time working out. The closer we got to him he was bleeding from his head really bad and also completely naked😳 so we obviously flip around and here comes the police. They try to stop this guy but the man just wanted to finish his workout so he walked right past them. So soon enough the tazed him....multiple times😂 it was the exciting thing I've seen In along time, but also horrifying ha. Moral of the story is...Don't do drugs kids.
On Saturday we had the chance to go to the temple and do some baptisms for the dead with the YSA branch and Kélé!! While we were there I had the amazing opportunity to baptized President Eastman for Sister Eastman's grandpa. It was such a special experience and the spirit was very powerful. I have gained a strong testimony the God puts you exactly where you need to be over my mission, and I know staying in Abilene for 9 months was exactly what I needed and i have been around those that i needed to learn from.
The Church of Jesus Christ is on the earth. We can have the same blessings people had when Christ was on the earth as long as we are obedient to God's commands. God loves us. Christ died for us. The church is true.
Love yall and thank you for everyone for the support and prayers you have sent my way these past 2 years!
Love Elder Rose
