I Will Train Elder Porter! (Week 59) — Called to Serve in Cuiaba

Good day good morn good eve to thine magistrates. This week I only actually got to do missionary work for 1 day, it was freaking wack. But I musn't lie, General Conference was divine. Also we found out that Elder West is getting transferred and I'm gonna miss the gooby. I'm gonna be training an American hahaah I'm so stoked. There's actually a new kid showing up here in the mission whose name is Elder Porter and if I don't train him I think I'll just come home.

So this week we did some nice splits with the Zone Leaders, and it was excellent. This one kind lady named Lea that we are teaching is wanting to get baptized! This week was pretty wack because I was only in my area for one day the whole week and I was really worried about the fine folks we are teaching but God pulled through big time and helped us out. On Wednesday Elder East and I went to Lea's house and she was just telling us how much she loved going to church and how good she felt. Elder North and I were like bro let's just see if she wants to get baptized, so we lobbed out the 25th of this month and she was like yea I'll definitely pray and think about it! Later in the week when we did splits Elder South stayed in our area with Elder Castro (KEVIN - my trainer!) and they went to Lea's house. After we ended the splits Elder Castro was like BROOOOOOO WE MARKED THE 25th FOR LEA TO GET BAPTIZED and I was like yeeeeeeeeeehooooooo we started talking a little bit more and he was bro the lesson was so spiritual and we were just feeling the Spirit in the ripest way and it was magnificent. I felt the Spirit prompt me to mark a date with her for the 25th and so I did and she just got so emotional and accepted it and it was so rad. I then asked him bro you didn't know that we challenged her to the same date with her 3 days ago?: he was like no bro I just listened to the Spirit and that was the date I felt I should mark. When he told me that I was just absolutely boggled just so humbled to see how God heard my prayers and everything worked out alright.

Just quickly in closing I gotta tell you guys how rad praying is. These days I have really been doing my best to just chat with Heavenly Father. I just tell him everything, like what was wack about my day, and what was super good. I do my best to say thank you for all sorts of stuff and it's been beautiful. I feel like He actually hears me, that He gives me some nice good feelings in return to let me know He's around, and that my days, and my studies, and my efforts to do what is right just seem to go creamier. I gotta invite you guys to do the same. To really talk to God as your Heavenly Father. He exists and is so freaking anxious to just rail you with happiness and goodness beyond what you can comprehend. He loves you guys so much.

Just gotta tell you guys too, that God speaks to us through Church leaders. I got some way too good responses to questions I had this weekend. It was so rad!

Ich freu mich auf den tempel (that’s German for “I’m looking forward to the temple.”)😊
