So this week has been really good! It's a lot of fun to get a new companion and learn how to work with each other.
We got this referral this week from head quarters, so we went by to visit him. He wasn't there so we left a card with our number and a little note haha. Later that night he called us back! And he set up a time to meet with him the up coming day. Turns out he referred himself, and he is a less active of about twenty years! It was really cool to meet him and to start teaching him. It's a good experience when you meet someone who is ready to make the change, having a desire to have that spirit that they used to feel.
We met with our investigator who will be getting baptized soon... In two weeks!!! At the beach, northerly island beach. It's perfect and he loves it. When we told him to check it out and tell us what he thinks of it he texted us the next day and was like "Hands down! This is the place!" It's exciting to get this going and see the progression and excitement as he gets ready for this. He decided recently to start going to the YSA and he loves it! Everyone loves him there too... And I think that's why he is loving it haha.
Something prettttty cool, we went to Guatemala! Legit! Enserio. Really we went to the Guatemalan Consulate. But we had a referral that works there. He ordered a Faith in Christ video for his friend who doesn't believe in God and since he has heard of the church and know that great things comes from it, he knew where to go. But we talked to him and invited him to learn more and come to church, it took some talking to, but he wants to come!! We asked him if he wanted to go to the Spanish ward or English and he said he probably should go to the English, because if he goes to the Spanish ward people may recognize him..... So he is a big deal and I didn't even realize this when we were talking to him, but it was great. The spirit was strong and he is legit.
I know I say this again and again, but I love that serving a mission has helped me be able to see the amazing work that Our Father in Heaven does for people. He is in ever single individual's life. He cheers them up when they are sad, brings the comfort when they are scared and he humbles them when they are proud, and teaches us how to be better. All through experiences and through the brothers and sisters that are around them. It's a big testimony to me that We are all part of a family, and the power that comes when we act in such a way.
I love this gospel. I love that this is Christ's church again restored back on the earth and because of that the fullness of joy is something we can have while living on earth. There is no need to drift in darkness when they have a cure to bring happiness.
The church is true, and the book is true.
I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! Can't wait to hear from you soon :)
Love, Sister Tincher
