Man that is crazy! I bet it killed Ryan to not be able to
play in his game. Do you know how long it will take to heal?
This last week has been pretty crazy. Elder Daley and I have
met with President Wakolo to go over the transfer board 3 times over the past
week. We usually don't start on this stuff so early but this next transfer is
going to be a nasa trip from outer space. We have over 20 missionaries going
home on December 2nd and only 10 coming out and then we have about 17 more
going home on December 16th, they are going home early for school and all that.
So basically we have to close 12 areas next transfer. Its going to be a roller
coaster so we are getting all strapped in now.
One thing that I have really tried to become better at
lately is recognizing and following the promptings of the spirit. That has been
one of the main focus's of my studies and prayers. The inspiration came from
reading up on President Monson and all the stories about how he has received
and acted on spiritual promptings that ended up being answers to peoples
prayer. Anyways the other night Elder Daley and I were going to an appointment
with an investigator and they were not home. It was pretty dark outside and the
neighborhood we were in was not exactly the nicest part of town but we heard
down the street someone sweeping their porch. The most subtle thought came to
my mind that we should go talk to that person and so we did. It was actually 2
people, a married couple. The wife was sweeping the porch and so we went
up and started talking to them and immediately began teaching. We told them we
had a message and asked if we could come in and share it with them and they let
us. They let us in and there is a whole batch of kids in the house! The mom
told us she just had a baby a week ago! So we taught them the restoration and
really focused on families throughout it all and it was awesome. They were an
answer to our prayers because we have been praying to be led to a family that's
ready for the message. There is no way I can ever deny how much Heavenly father
is involved in our lives. He will go before our face and will be on our
right hand and
on our left. Its our job though to remain worthy and ask, seek,
and knock.
Last night we were at Presidents and we told him about the
saltine cracker challenge. He said he could do it easy and so we put his Fijian
confidence to the test. Elder Daley and I and the whole Wakolo family
tried it, even Sister Wakolo. It was the most hilarious thing. I will
send you the video!
