Pretty
solid week. We got to teach Raquel Williams again, and she's super
solid! I definitely think she'll get baptized, she said the closing
prayer, and she said "thank you for putting the free bible add on my
phone, and sending these elders to my house and allowing me to finally
feel peace", so freaking awesome!! We had golden retraining this week
just to get some extra training for people who are new, and I got to see
Elder White (Ethan) which was flippin' awesome. We've haven't been able
to teach many people this week cuz people always cancel last minute,
which I mean u can't do anything about so no use getting upset over it,
but lol. We still haven't been able to contact Sherriff, but I still
have high hopes for him, but also his baptism date is the 24th
sooooo....but never distrust the Lord's timing. OH!!!! So we've been
handing out tickets for the Gladys Knight performance at our church, for
those of you who don't know who she is she was super popular in the
70's and 80's, and she joined the Mormon church in the 90's, and she put
up a free gospel performance with her choir, it was super cool!
Everyone was yelling "AMEN" or "HALLELUJAH" after like every word sung
and spoke, we got a lot of referrals from that, I got to meet her
daughter after it, and tell her a little about how I sing, and have been
for years and love her gospel music and whatnot, it was super cool! My
crew (me, my companion, Elder Sandberg, and Elder Chauncey) who are my
"brothers" in the mission that we do everything with, got to go to the
Philadelphia temple which was super cool, it was BEAUTIFUL! The church
is true y'all! It becomes more real to me as it has been basically my
life out here, it truly brings more joy than anything. Hope y'all are
having a good week, and thank you to everyone that went to help with
Houston, miss and love y'all!
