Hello everyone! Another transfer here and gone! I can't
believe how fast that went! So.....Elder Berry and I are staying together for
another one! I am so excited about that! We have been working really hard to
build up this area and we have a lot of potential right now! We are doing
great!
So first thing to talk about. Greg. Greg is a stud! He is so
cool! I can't believe how ready he is for baptism! He is getting more and more
excited every day and is so ready to be a part of this church! He is already
super active! More so than most of us members! On Sunday there were a few other
investigators there and Greg went up to each of them and started to fellowship
them!! It was so cool! He talked to them about their problems and told them how
he finds answers to the scriptures! He also introduced himself to the wife of
our Bishop as "Hi I'm Greg and I will be a member really soon." It
was so cool! We love teaching him!
We had a really cool
experience this week as the entire mission had another exchange day. Every
missionary in the mission was on an exchange that day! I was with Elder Purcell
from American Samoa and we had a great day! Among the cool things that we did
that day we had a really cool finding miracle! We had about half hour of free
time before our dinner and decided that we should just go knock the street that
our dinner was on! We did and on the second house we ran into a guy that was
YSA and was interested! His name is Julian and he recently finished his 3rd
tour as a marine. He accepted a Book of Mormon and said he would be really
interested to learn more! It was awesome!
One of the coolest
things about this week was MLC! This month we had the leadership meeting on the
top of Mount Lemon! That was so cool! It felt amazing up there being that it was
68 degrees and we were surrounded by actual trees! It was great! It was weird
to have an all-day meeting like that while I was sitting on a log! It was
great! There was a really interesting thing that happened with it being that
there is no piano up on the Mountain! The assistants asked Elder Berry the
afternoon before to bring up his guitar and play a few hymns. He was freaking
out because he had to learn 3 new songs and perform them by the next day and we
still had a busy day planned! Ha-ha I don't know how it happened but he asked
me to play with him so he wouldn't be up there alone! I haven't played guitar
for a long time but I agreed and borrowed one from another Elder so we could do
it! It actually turned out pretty well! I messed one of the songs up a lot
being that I kept getting lost but the other was great! It was really cool!
We had a really cool
YSA activity this week that all the YSA missionaries in Tucson put together. We
had a night of sports, food, and a spiritual message! It was great! We had some
of the missionaries give a brief message and showed a Mormon message and then
President and Sister Killpack shared their testimonies and we opened it up for
everyone! Following we had lots of sports and food and everything! It was super
fun!
That would be it for
this one! Love you all!
Elder Banner!
Ps!
We also had a zone brunch yesterday and Elder Berry and I
provided the food. We cooked 32 super stuffed and great breakfast burritos! It
took forever but they turned out really good!
