This week has flown by. It was a really good one!
Transfers came on Friday. Elder Matua and I found out that
we'll be staying together here in Rivne for another 6 weeks! I'm super stoked
to be able to still be working with him. He's a super good companion!
We had a couple of really cool experiences this week that were
very humbling for me. We were able to go and give blessings to a fatherless
family, and teach the children about the Plan of Salvation! Such a beautifully
simple doctrine that we are blessed to know.
We were also able to, for another fatherless family, go and
buy them groceries for the month. What an especially humbling experience that
was as well, to be in their home and to be reminded of what an amazing life I have and live.
We did a Sports Day activity, and man was that fun! We
played ping pong and chair soccer (invented by yours truly in K-town) and it
was a big hit! There is so much more to missionary work than knocking on
someone's door or approaching them on the streets. So much about who we are,
what we do, say, and how we act can truly help other people feel the Spirit!
Just talking to one of the men that came, I was able to invite him to church
and he came! It was at literally the last minute, but it was so good to see him
and talk to him later that night!
One of our investigators, Katya, approached us on Sunday and
gave us the big news that she had been thinking about her whole time gone on
vacation. It was her first sacrament meeting in 3 weeks, and she told us that
she feels like she needs to be a member of Christ's Church and wants to be
baptized! We're going to be working extremely close with her these next coming
weeks, hopefully leading to a baptism!
Things are super cold here, but the work is going well.
There are so many little and big miracles to see if we will just open our eyes to
see them. God is so good and His Gospel is so true!
Have a good week!
