Hello there my friends!
Had a nice last week of the transfer and got our transfer news... I'll be training for my last transfer so I'm pumped about that! This will be my 5th time training so hopefully I've got it down by now haha. I still don't know who it is and I'll meet him on Wednesday. It's kinda crazy I'm starting my last transfer so I'm ready to get on the grind and finish strong!
So this week we picked up 20 peeps to teach and I'd say about 15 are pretty solid. We were able to go to a rehab place for alcoholics and drug addicts and it was cool to see a bunch of dudes in there who are trying to change their life. We were able to teach from the Book of Mormon and explained the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We explained what Amulek explains of how Christ will come to save us from our sins but not in them. We talked about how we will all sin and Christ won't prevent us from doing it because of our agency. It was cool to see their desires to learn more and change. Overall it was one of my favorite lessons I've been a part of.
We also put a couple of people on date this week and they are all pretty solid but the tough thing is their families are super catholic and that is usually a challenge. For some reason they just don't like us sometimes and idk why because we are so nice to them. Like they all have a store and sell gross food but I'm Christlike and buy it from them.
Something I thought about this last week was being an example. Considering I've been training the last 3 transfers I have thought about it a lot. One thing I didn't notice is how much of an impact we make on the people we teach, especially the kids. At church yesterday we talked about as priesthood holders we need to always be examples of Christ because we never know who is watching. It makes me think of Christ himself who was an example to everyone all of the time.
Love you all!
