Hey guys!
So this week was transfers, and I stayed in Agua Fria. I really like
this ward a lot and we've been working super hard with the ward, and
after this whole month of doing these member lessons trying to pump
them up to do missionary work, the big ward temple trip is tomorrow
night!! People are super excited about it. Which also means from here
on out we re going to follow up with families and they should begin to
have people that they will be inviting to church! So ya we are happy
about all that.
Transfers. I got a new companion who's name is elder Studyvin. He is
from Missiouri and came out 1 transfer before me. He seems like he
wants to work hard so I'm excited to get going and get some good work
in this transfer. One weird thing about elder studyvin is that he is
the same elder I replaced when I got here. Turns out he was trained
here and then stayed for 8 months, then left for 3 ( the moths I've
been here for) and then now returned?? A bit odd but he's happy to be
back. We also got a new roommate named elder Heller. He is from Tampa
Florida and is a super funny kid. He also came out a transfer before
me, but because he is a English missionary, we go home at the same
time. He's been telling me stories about what his jobs were growing
up, and one was he used to catch alligators to relocate them. He said
how it was hard and a little scary and how it was just him and his
cousin at night in the summers. Well turns out that they were doing
that at 12 and 14 years old hahaha. And he showed me pictures, these
were 2 to 6 feet alligators haha it sounded pretty cool.
We got back into the jalapas house this week. First time since she
texted us and told us she didn't want to get baptized. It was ok. We
didn't really talk anything about the church or baptism, and we're
just trying to figure out just how she was doing. So hopefully we can
try again and maybe help her try again.
The young inactive couple are so cool, and I love them so much, but
they just aren't progressing. They have so much potential, they are
soo good, they just don't do the things we ask. They pray, and
occasionally read, but I've been here 3 months now and they haven't
been to church once 😔 so we have one more lesson with them tonight,
but if they don't come to church this next week we are going to drop
them.
So we found a new investigator on Monday!!! Her name is Alma. She is a
mom of 5 and seems pretty interested. We taught the restoration to her
and it was the bomb, for many reason. One being that that was the
first time I've been able to teach the restoration in a while, two the
spirit was really strong, and she felt it, and three Studyvin and I
taught really well together, so it was cool. We are going back
tomorrow and are pretty pumped.
Oh I almost forgot. So elder Tamayo also was transferred, but guess
who is here now. My trainer!! Wells and Miller are back haha. Elder
wells has been in his last area ( Monte Vista) since I left haha. But
that ward is the best in the mission, so he didn't mind. But once
you've been there for 10 months, you kinda get attached, and they
really miss him, to where they keep texting and facebooking him all
the time haha. But I'm excited for him to be here and so far we've had
a lot of fun.
So this should be a good transfer. I'm ready to work hard, and we
should be on the edge of getting a good amount of work to do here
pretty soon.
Nothing too huge this week, but a good week overall none the less.
School all got out here last week so it's weird to see kids around all
the time, because summer doesn't feel any different as a missionary.
well that's a lie, it's a lot hotter haha. It's been a consistent 100
this week, and everyone says this isn't anything. Apparently when you
are hitting that 110 and up you feel like your insides are boiling
haha. But havnt got there yet so we're all good.
Hope everyone has an AWESOME summer!!
Love you guys!
Elder Miller
