This week was one of
the most incredible weeks in my entire mission! I know I start off a lot of
these emails like that, but it really was! Got some super good work done and
saw some super incredible miracles.
It's crazy because
although I've only been in Lakeshore 2 for one transfer I'll be leaving this
transfer and going to be the assistant to the president. Back to the good ol
Naperville Zone out west! The AP's cover the west Chicago YSA ward so it's
kinda cool I will have hit both the YSA wards the mission has. It's going to be
awesome and I'm excited to see what's next in the life of missionary work and
missionary leadership!
My new companion will
be Elder Anderson and he's a legend and a Spanish missionary. They usually have
one English assistant and one Spanish assistant because of all the exchanges.
It's going to be way fun! I'm sad to leave Lake Shore 2 this fast though, I
have grown to love this place quite a bit in our short amount of time here!
Miracle after miracle!
This last week in the
area has been incredible. We had 5 people come to church and we were way
excited about that, especially because we opened it! We also found some
families this week to add to our teaching pool! This area is incredible!
We went to church with
our friends Jenipher and her daughter Prescious. They are awesome and it was
fun riding the train with them down town to go to church!
We also had our
friends Robert and Carl come to church. These are two dudes from the hood of
Chicago so it was super fun going to church with them as well. Robert only has
one tooth and had a big smile on his face at church and told us, "I like
this! I wanna come back again!" He's a legend haha.
This week we had MLC
to set a goal for March and April, and were trying to break a mission baptismal
record in March. It's going to be incredible and we have been able to see the Lord
prepare people to be able to reach it this month. I got to go on double
exchanges with my main man Elder Safley so that was super fun! We also put
together our zone meeting for the next day and gave an awesome training about
finding people! I love giving trainings a lot! Also Elder Safley is a wizard,
so how could I not love giving trainings when he is helping me?! President also
came to the zone meeting too so that was pretty cool!
Other than that we had
an exchange with a set of YSA elders and I took an elder here with me named
Elder Ebert. It's way cool because his older brother served in the exact same
mission as my older brother Jase, and since California Arcadia Armenian
speaking is probably a minority were assuming they were in the same district at
one point. It's a small world!
Man this place is so
awesome! I'm going to miss it so much but maybe I'll get sent back at the end
of my mission. (On a better note I won't have to eat any Nigerian food for a
little while haha)
Have an awesome week!
