Week 48 - June 3, 2019

hey! this week was the craziest most tiring week but also probably the best week of my mission! transfers were last week. bringing in the new greenies was so fun. their spirit is so strong and their energy is INSANE! I loved it! it's so fun being with them because I remember coming from the MTC and having all those same exact experiences. it's crazy how much has happened since then. this week im going to have less than a year left on my mission. there were tornadoes in Dallas I guess so all of the missionaries who finished had delayed flights and that was havoc. they ended up staying at our house another night and it was insane. lots of early mornings and late nights with transfers. our first full work day without transfer things to do was on Friday. we talked to a lot of people but the best thing was Sunday nights lesson with Victor and Joanna. theyre our most progressing investigators right now and we got a text from them saying "we feel like there's something missing from your church". elder Johnson and I were a little nervous because that's not something super good to receive so we dropped our plans and headed to their house. before we got there we said a prayer to have help to guide us to know what to say. We got in and talking and we had a huge lesson about the Authority and the priesthood restored on the earth. We got talking about eternal families and how with this power that christ gave peter in matthew 16, his family can be forever. We started talking about that and Victor goes "That was the empty gap we felt with your church. I think that was the answer". Then him and his wife just got talking about how much they loved eachother and their family. Almost everyone in the room was crying! It was so awesome and they have a goal of going to the temple in 1 year to get sealed.. We also set baptismal dates for them and they will be getting baptized this sunday and then confirmed the next. At the end of the lesson they have a little 3 year old named Maxcito and the wife said "We need to start saving money now so Maxcito can serve a mission". That was the coolest thing ever. I am so excited for them, so please keep them in your prayers! They are such an amazing little family! Other than that me and my new comp elder johnson get along great. He is a GENIUS. 35 on his act genious.  I love spending time with him because hes so intellectual and i feel like im learning something new every day. I know i have so much to learn out here. Sure love you guys and I hope everything is doing well back home. Keep balling out and doing whats right!

Love you!
