Hi fam
So Transfers are up again and we are staying the same for the last transfer. its kinda weird because we don't have a car, washer or dryer, or a dishwasher! i feel almost homeless here ha ha but we are having a lot of fun, we are tho running outta things to do cause our area is so small that we are talking to the same people over and over again. We are pretty good friends with the college kids now. This week went really well, Quinton Bengel is getting baptized this Saturday. We are so stoked. He is a 19 year old kid from Memphis and is a student at Tech. The lesson we taught him was so sweet and we went over the baptism interview questions with him and he didn't have a problem with any of them but he felt as if he needed to take out his diamond earrings so he said he would take them out before his baptism. I love the kid. Okay so you know how i had to take that testing for school, ya so I'm pretty sure the spirit bore testimony to me that i will never be an English teacher, i was so super board with the English part ha ha but it felt kinda good but weird. Last night we were walking around because we had about ten minutes left and we always talk to this guy who lives at the Methodist church, well the other day he told us that his wife wanted to feed us dinner but he didn't know when so he said when he talked to her he would come and find us. so last night we talked to him Mr. Parks and his wife was talking to him by the window so we went over to meet her and now we are going to have dinner at their house on Friday night. Their son Alex is one of our good buddies that we talk to quite a bit. So Elder Pearson is my district leader and his companion has kidney stones so he has been in the apartment quite a bit here in the last little bit and we wanted to go out and work and teach so i went with him to a lesson and then reimschiissel chilled in their apartment with elder garrison, but we went to teach the Barrett's family(mom and daughter) about the restoration and it went so well, The spirit was so strong and the mom pitched in some really legit doctrinal points that helped with the lesson. They also fed us pulled pork sandwiches with BBQ sauce. It was so good.
Life right now is really good, me and Reimschiissel are getting along really well and things are gonna start rolling here in a little bit. lately my studies have gotten really spiritual. I am studying the Atonement of Christ and i have been studying outta Leviticus 16 and Hebrews 9. Check them out. they are really good. it talks alot about the new covenant that would come about with the Death of Christ and the blood of the Testament(Covenant) seals the book and brings power to the Testament. I know Christ lives. my favorite quote lately "We don't use the cross as the symbol of our religion because that represents the dying Christ, The symbol of our religion is the lives the members of the Church live because Christ lives and and He lives within us" I know that is true, i know the book of Mormon is the word of God, and is here to do nothing but bless us if we only pick it up. I hope ya'll have a blessed week and may The Spirit of God bless ya'll this week.
