Knocking on doors is so much Fun

This week had its excitements, It started off really fast and at the end it seems so slow. We had our last P-day on wednesday and maybe that was why it seemed so slow after a couple of days. Also I have had a hard time sleeping, which led to tiredness half of the day. Those days were not fun.

On monday My companion and I Sister D Had so much fun knocking on doors. I met someone with hair like mine and it started a really good conversation, which led to him inviting us back to come and teach his brother. Almost everyone we knocked on their door answered and said we could come back. The same thing Happened on Tuesday  and it was so much fun. The Lord always provides.  In our area it is pretty interesting, when I am driving By I can point out those who are members and nonmembers houses  and who is not interested. It is very different from Maryland, because in One neighborhood there is a huge probability that everyone around you is not a member which is pretty weird. I love the area I am serving in, especially  the people. I have been in the area for 3 months and will probably stay there for another 3 months because I am training but we never know some time President changes his mind. Time is flying too fast  also in two weeks, there will be new missionaries coming in and it will be a new transfer. I am feeling older and older as the oldest Missionaries leave the mission field. 
As a missionary, we try to work hard every day and it is hard to know sometimes are you working hard enough? To be honest there are some days when , you feel so tired and exhausted and you ask yourself , Am I a good Missionary? Success in Mission work comes at the Lord's Timing and as missionaries we might feel like nothing is happening but we never know whose life we might have touched that day. Just knowing that there are people out there who the Lord has prepared for us to teach, help and serve keeps me going. Mission work is fun , when you make it fun, I feel like I have started to apply that to my daily work even though I have been so tired this week. It brings me a lot of happiness at the end of the day when I see people making changes in their life and draw closer to the Savior. That is what I have decided to measure my success as everyday. It might not happen to every single individual we see, teach or meet but whenever that happens it brings me happiness. 

The Lord has choreographed our lives perfectly. If we are in places at the right time and places we can tell the people we meet, talk to listen, listen are meant to be there. I don't believe in coincidences,  I have met a couple people thus far on my mission that has reassured that for me. This week especially I met Louis. He was standing outside his home, when we drove by. My companion and I went and knocked on a couple door down close by his home and we decided to stop by again and talk to him. He was not outside his home anymore, so we parked the car and started walking and knocked on his door. (the houses are cookie cutter houses and they all look the same so it was hard to know which one was his) we met Louis  and had a good conversation with him about the Church, turns out he has been taking the missionary lessons up in Mesquite from different missionaries  and moved. He said it was not a coincidence we knocked on his door and he said yes, it was not and because he speaks Spanish, we might have to give him to the elders to teach(# no poaching). Well I knew from the minute I saw Louis  that we were meant to talk to him that day. Another Story, we met Souki (Samuel) he is from Cameroon 🇨🇲 and lives in Dallas. I am from Cameroon and My companion is from Dallas. He has had the lessons before but never got
baptised he said the missionaries could not answer  his questions because they were raised in the Church.  We had a lesson with him and he said that he was having a really bad day and that lesson helped him a lot. I know it is not a coincidence, my companion and we were meant to have that lesson with him. We also met Marlon, who said in the past their family did not really click with missionaries but with us it was different. The Lord always provides, (that is my new favorite phrase.) We just need to be in tune with the spirit, be in places at the right time and places and we shall see miracle. 
I love you all so much

Week 2 - Praying and be a good boy, be a good girl!

Image
Every morning begins with a prayer, every lesson, meal, role play, in general everything begins and ends with a prayer here. I guess that is part of the reason why you can feel the spirit strongly here at the MTC. My roommates are all from around the world. There is Sister P from Ukraine, she is very stylish and likes working out with me at 6am. My companion Sister J is from the Marshall Islands, she is so funny and she is the most interesting person I have ever met. The other girl in the room is Sister Y and she's from Yap which is found next to Guam, which is next to Marshall Island which is next to Hawaii.  She is very sweet and she is always smiling. In my district we have a Sister called Sister K and she's from india she cracks me up and she always tells us jokes. What I love about the MTC so far is that you meet a lot of people from all over the world and everyone has one goal.  Which is invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restore...

First week in the Field!

Image
Best of both worlds.  First week out in the field. Well my companion is Sister S she is from a small town called Burns Oregon.  She's very cute and kind, she is the best trainer I could possibly ask for. It has been great with lots of sunshine. The sun is too much for me it gets to like 100 and something degrees and I feel like I am in an oven. The area where I am proselyting is called Santa Clara Heights and it is beautiful and the houses looks like it is from the movies. We are in charge of the Whole stake so it is kind of hard to go to all the sacrament meetings and we also get to do the visitor center half of the day so we only get to knock on door for  a couple of hours. Well we get the best of both world in a sense that people come to us in the visitor center and we go look for people also. It has been hard so far but Heavenly Father has been providing for us.  I had to bear my testimony so many times and attend a lot of sacrament meeting and meeting ...

Baptisms by Dad

Image
Wow, How time flies, Tranfers are today and my companion  and I are staying together. Its been six weeks already that we have been together, wow went too fast. Sister D is an awesome missionary and it is a lot of fun training. The part I enjoy the most about training is doing 12 weeks again [ training program for new missionaries I think ], there is so much to learn. The week has been Glorious, it ended with 3 baptisms that  took place saturday the 30th of September. I can't believe it is already October. But it was one of the best Baptism that I have ever attended. The Dad Tommie Got baptised and then confirmed and then ordained and then baptised his wife Rachel and then baptised their daughter Chiara. It was one of the happiest days on my mission. It's a blessing to see a family come closer to the Savior. We had to receive permission from our Mission President and our Stake president in order for that to happen [ for the Dad to baptise his family the same da...
