HELLO!!! Man what a week to
remember. So transfer calls came in and sadly Elder Durrant had to leave me and
go to Bentonville... and Elder Green got his first greenie and is now training
Elder Doman! In the mission field everybody jokes that when you train somebody
they are your son and I am very grateful that I have my first son out here in
the field haha and yes Elder Doman is related to the great Brandon Doman.
Brandon is his uncle. I cordially thanked him for his uncle’s diving efforts in
beating the filthy Utes back in the day! hahaha anyways things are good!
So Durrant left and I feel terrible
for Durrant because right as he left it seems all of our grind started to pay
off. As soon as Doman got in here things have just been rolling. We have been
finding people to teach and people have been agreeing to baptism. We have been busy and have been teaching
a whole lot of lessons and it has just been great! Doman is an awesome
missionary and he is adjusting very quickly and I am taking oh so excellent
care of him.
Saying goodbye to the District. |
Missionary Selfies |
A miracle from this week was when
we were driving around trying to pick up investigators for church and they
weren’t coming out we saw this nice looking girl just standing outside and we
were with Rick (Brother Davis) and she waved to us haha so we scrrreeech to a
stop and turn around to go say hi. We taught her later that day and turns out
her dad is Mormon and there is a long line of LDS faith in her family and she
has been looking for a church lately!!!!
Things are going great we are
hopeful to have a lot of people enter into the covenant of baptism this
transfer and we have been seeing a whole bunch of miracles!!! It has been
awesome!!!
I have been studying the Book of Mormon
lately and have been in Nephi and I have been thinking lately a lot about how
Nephi was so faithful and why I can't be like him. I often wonder if Nephi is
only writing the miracles though. I feel that way about missionary work like a
lot of times I will only write home about the awesome things that happen but
not about the trials of my faith that come before the miracles. I think the
scriptures are that way too a lot of the times. Anyways I love you all and hope
you have a great week!!!
Love Elder Green!!!
