I am getting transferred to Cushing, OK. I have been there before on exchanges actually and I am so pumped to go there! It is going to be really fun! My new companions name is Elder Tirrell.
This week was really good. We got 4 new investigators. Their names are Bobby, Anne, Jason, and Sabrina. Two of them are recovering from substance abuse and the others are the parents. They are so awesome and sincere! We shared the restoration with them and it was like nothing else was possible at distracting them. It was really fun because they were so involved.
We had one of the recent converts that hadn't been at church in 6 weeks show up this week! It was Milton! It was so great!
This week we had our ward party too. It was a back to school bash where we had slip n slide kickball, corn hole (which is one of my hidden skills now), and a giant bounce house! After a few hours of the party, a flash flood came in and hit hard. We all ran under canopies and also inside the church. The wind picked up and started to blow away the bounce house so 7 of us made a mad dash towards it a tried to stop it before it hit the cars in the parking lot or blew away. It was so funny.
My favorite part of being a missionary is being able to see the change in people once they have accepted the gospel and are now working towards changing their lives. My advice is don't be worried that you don't know enough to be a missionary because no matter what you do and what you study you will never know all that will fully prepare you to do missionary work. It is a skill that is acquired through immersion in the work. My favorite scripture right now I am not sure because I really like the whole Book of Mormon. I am on my fourth time through it on my mission. I will have to get back to you on that one!
Loving Oklahoma!
