I Ate In-N-Out!

I can not believe how fast time has gone by!!!! This week we had a great week with our lessons, members have been helping out so much! This past week we were able to go do service for a lady; Carol. She referred herself  because her son was baptized, went on a mission and is a Bishop up in Utah. So she needed us to do some house work ( putting a mirror on a wall and setting up part of a chandelier) We were able to have Travis come and a Sister from the ward who did awesome!! She invited us over for Thanksgiving, only to end up in the Hospital last night :( we do not know why though :(

A family in the ward had us over for dinner and had a next door neighbor come over, apparently she comes to their FHE every Monday. Her husband passed away so they basically adopted her into the family. We shared a mormon message "The refiner's fire" and we feel like it went pretty well!

I was able to go on exchanges with one of the Elders we live with; Elder Green. His name says it, he is still in training, but I was so impressed by him and his love that he had for people not in his area. With him we had a dinner with Sister Lozano and her family and we talked about the Nature of God. Then we had a lesson with JR, and got even deeper with the Nature of God and his purpose and we focused it on Moses 1:39. Awesome week!

As well it was a historical moment for San Antonio this week as the first In-N-Out opened down the freeway from us. A member from the other ward took us haha.  The first night it was a 3 hour wait. they have quite the system going on there.

Not a transfer, but a new Address!

Well another week has come and gone here in Braun Heights. This week we moved apartments. It is the same complex 8711 Bowens crossing, but now it is 13306. 

8711 Bowens crossing #13306, San Antonio, TX 78250. 

We now live with 2 other Elders in the Wildhorse ward, fun stuff!!!

This week has been freezing and we have been walking everywhere. It helps members give us rides because only a few of them have trucks. Moving took up most of the week. We had some really good lessons with some converts on sacrifice and prayer. We went over the story of King Lamoni's father and the steps of prayer and sacrifice that was needed. The following lesson was with a less active part member family. Two of the girls are non-members and we went over the same lesson. It has a bigger impact on her because of her child. We asked her about baptism and she says she knows what it can do for her, but she does not believe in the church 100%. Her parents are having a big influence on her, but it is her decision. otherwise we have been walking. The Lord has blessed us and it is amazing how small and simple those blessings are. I love y'all and hope this week is great! :)

Adventures in Primary

Well this week has been pretty slow, did not do a whole lot on my birthday. We knocked, then had a dinner with a member and then went to a less active's home and let our EQP talk to him. He flat out told us that he has no testimony but that he believes the church is the best thing on the earth. The only other lesson that we had was with the guy who is on parole. He says he will be getting his ankle tracker off in January so we are looking forward to that. We taught him about sacrifice and praying and tied the two together and the spirit was really strong. on Sunday Elder Gray and I taught the CTR 4 class during the third hour of church, all the women were having a visiting teaching conference. So all the guys filled in That was an interesting class haha there was one boy asking all of the 3 girls in the class to go on dates with him. We did not know how to deal with that. i have respect for the primary workers haha. The last few weeks have been really humbling for me in learning to rely on the Lord and knowing that he has a purpose in what he does. But faith is the key, followed by your actions. I love y'all and hope you have a great week!! 

Birthday Week!

Thank you for the Birthday wishes!!! :) I look forward to serving The Lord on my birthday :)

This week was not to eventful. We did a lot of bike riding this week and some knocking. This is the most I have knocked on my mission. Either way we were able to teach a ex-communicated member last night about fasting and the power behind it. Our goal was to get her to fast so that she could quit smoking and she understands how it can help. Her 12 year old son told her that every fasting prayer he offers he mentions his mom and he prays that she will be baptized again. I love that kid!!!

As well one of the recent convert who is coming up on his year mark finally decided to get the Priesthood! After much fellow shipping and some lessons about how now that he is a member it is his responsibility to get the Priesthood. So he finally did it! Halloween we had to go in early at around 6 and so I read for most of the time.  Hopefully this upcoming week will be a lot more eventful :) I love y'all and hope you have a great week!!!
