Yeah! So I actually stayed down in Philly with Elder Paulsen who Elder
Hopkin just got done serving with cause now Elder Hopkin is up here too. So I
was with Elder Paulsen and Winegarderner for a day and a half. It was
nice because I got to go see R and A. I called and he was so
happy haha so we went to see them and a couple other people. I was so
sad though because one of the members that I got pretty close to died
from a heart attack at 40. I have a picture with him. He was the one
that took us to the mall when I got my jacket. It was sad and now R
has the Melchidek Priesthood and is still the President of young men's. I
see some leadership positions coming with him continuing cause he is
great at it. So that it what is going on. Also saw Elder Park. I love
Elder Park haha I will definitely see him after the mission. Both of
Elder Kelley's zone leaders were my companions. Elder Park and Elder
Newbold haha. Anyways so my golden is Elder Wasden! He is from Colombia,
Missouri and has a sister on a mission. He is 18 and very smart. He
skipped 11th grade and graduated early so he just turned 18. He is a bit
quiet but I'm trying to get him over that and helping him with lots of
stuff. He is just so ready to work though. We have been doing lots of
contacting such as tracting. Ha yes we still do do it. We have had some
great experiences with people yelling and saying not so great things.
But we have had success. I am now just a trainer which is fine and I
actually just saw Elder Weisler last night cause we had a stake thing
and we are in the same stake.
So we actually found this awesome family who now have a baptismal date
for the 25th of next month. They came to church yesterday and loved it.
We feel so blessed being here. A is doing well. We have not seen
him this week but are setting up an appointment with him. I have
definitely seen the power of it(blessings) and recently that has been kind of this
big topic is staying worthy of it and knowing the sacredness of it. We
did see him with Bro. J and it went so well. We are setting
another date with him and we will see how it all goes. I think them and
the D family. The Lord has prepared many people here.
It is still cold here basically. Which just got more snow like 2 days ago. I good 6 inches. So ya know!
