First Transfer

What's up everyone,
So I just found out last night that I'm getting transferred, so that's fun. It's weird to think that this place I've spent like 4 and a half months trying to bring people to Christ, and now I'm moving on to somewhere new. I'm not sure where yet but I'll find out tomorrow morning so don't send anything to my apartment cuz I'll be gone Tuesday morning. I'm definitely gonna miss this area, I've learned more about polonesian culture than I ever thought I would, and it's been an interesting experience literally sharing the gospel in the hood, and street contacting gangs smoking weed on the side of the road, and basically the whole ward being from Africa, but it's been a great experience.

We were able to meet with Anime this past week and it went well. He has a bunch of weird questions that we don't even have the answers to like why do we not call Jesus Christ Yahweh, and stuff about the Bible and really deep doctrine. The thing with him is that he doesn't like faith, he wants there to be physical proof of everything before he believes it, but it can't work like that because we got put on this earth not knowing everything, and that's because faith is a huge principle Christ taught during his early ministry. He definitely could feel the spirit and said he did and he's coming to play basketball today with us. He's a super great guy.

We were also able to go down to New Jersey this week. We were helping a member move, and he needed to go down there, so he drove me and my companion in his big u haul, and it was amazing! It was literally all open fields, forests and farms. It was so sweet to get out of the hood and go down there for an hour or so. 

But yeah we haven't been able to meet quite a few people this transfer with elder Selu, so I'm really hoping that he will be able to meet with them while I'm gone. I really want them to be able to be baptized because they want to we just literally can't get a hold of them and then they always cancel. 

So yeah that's that. I've been able to study a lot of different topics to answer investigators questions and it's been really helpful to study all those topics and it always makes me realize how true the church is, and how God truly has a plan and his timing is perfect. Love and miss u guys!
