Week 43

Transfer day with Elder Ludwig

  Another great missionary week out here over in  Memphis, Tennessee!  Well to start off, on Wednesday we had transfer meeting.  As we are getting I-Pads this could be the last transfer where we have two transfers meeting, one on each side.  My new companion is.....ELDER DIAZ!!  I'm super excited to be with him, We both really wanted to serve together as well.  He is a short little Chapin from Guatemala!  He lived in Virginia for a couple years before his mission as well.  He actually knows a kid who I went to BYU-H with, that served in the mission where Elder Diaz lived.  But so far it has been super great serving with him. We talk in only Spanish all day which is the best.  It helps so much for learnign Spanish y helping with my accent and everything!

  This last week serving with Elder Diaz went really well.  One day we went and visited this lady named Crystal that we had found the week before.  She was excited that we came by.  We were able to teach her the Restauracion y it went really well.  The spirit was strong throughout the lesson as she asked really good questions.  I've said this before, but it's always a great sign when the investigator is asking questions trying to get a better understanding.  We asked her if she believed the message was true y if Jose Smith was a true prophet.  She said she did, and we invited her to pray as well.  We should be seeing here this week, We're looking forward to that.  She had a lot of questions about death and was kind of scared of it, so when we teach her the plan of salvation it should go really well!  We are so blessed to have the Knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. What a perfect plan! 

 Then for some other things this week, we weren't able to see Alvaro to teach him all week, because he was busy with his friends Graduations and all that stuff.  But he came to church, and we have an appointment with him tonight.  He is still looking really good for his Baptismal date this Saturday!  It will be great!  Also we saw Enrique y Angelica a few times this week, They are still awesome and we were more direct with them the importance of coming to church.  It seems that they realize it more now, and we pray that they will be able to come this next Sunday!  So this upcoming week should be an awesome week, and even more awesome because the whole mission is meeting in North Little Rock on Wednesday!!  That rarely happens. We will be getting trained on the I-Pads, then most likely get them a few weeks later.  I'm more excited just to meet as a whole mission more than anything!  And that's about all from me this week!

 Anyways, I love you tons and hope that your week is great!!

Love,

Elder Geddes
