WEEK 1 TULSA (WEEK 21 OF MISSION)

Hey Everyone!!!!!!

Ya boi elder green checking in with a quick weekly update!!!! 
Like a kid in a candy store!!!
This week has been soooo awesome my new area is sooo much fun. I am in the middle of Tulsa and in the big city and feel like I am back at home haha. I think the lord thought, "Okay, he got through being in the middle of nowhere, I will throw him a bone now and put him in the big city." Haha it is so awesome to be in the city though I relate a lot better with the people.

these missionary action figures ;)
My funny and awesome spiritual story both are combined this week. We were teaching this awesome lady named Ladonna. She is so funny and we were really able to touch her heart. Her son recently joined the church and so she has gained a lot of interest. Her daughter–in-law was recently stabbed to death in a terrible murder and she was having a rough time with it all. We were able to comfort her with a blessing, and teach her the first lesson and she agreed to the invitation to be baptized. This is how the conversation went a little: 
"Ladonna we want you to feel this comfort and peace all the time and you can do that through baptism."
a little silence.
"Well, all my friends been saying you better not be finna talking to mormons, but now that I think about it... I think im finna be a mormon!!!!" 
She is so awesome I love teaching her she has such strong faith and it is so awesome out here and Elder Nau is teaching me so much and I am growing a ton in the gospel! Thank you for all the love back home! Remember that happiness only comes through Christ and Christ taught us to serve others. So go brighten somebody’s day this week!

Love you all,

Elder Green
