So last week for PDAY was busy signing up for college and that got all taken care of and we played a ton of sports. Today was insanely fun. We played 18 holes of golf for the first time in 2 years for me! I did surprisingly well. Even had a 30 foot birdie putt from the fringe!!
Unreal. Alberto is doing so well.Seriously love that man. He is progressing towards baptism on April the 7th and also will get married this week!!
The Jonesboro Elders found a trailer park completely FULL OF HISPANICS! Elder Vellinga and I have been going so hard with Hispanics. We have both always dreamed about teaching in Spanish together! La vida es buena!
Elizabeth had surgery on her mouth and got all her teeth taken out. We gave her a blessing and she is doing well. Her son Peter will be baptized on the 6th of April! She might as well.
We went on basically a 3 days road trip Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! We went and worked with the Greenville Elders for Thursday. I spent the day with Elder Battad. We had an awesome day in the beautiful country and had some very spiritual conversations. I love getting to bro out with the Elders. We slept on couches that night and woke right up and got on the road towards Knoxville and went on exchanges with the APs Elder Hancock and Sharp. I came out with Elder Hancock and Elder Sharp and I go home together. Sharp is awesome, he will play football for Oregon St post mish. Elder Vellinga on Friday night got to baptize a lady he was teaching before he came to Johnson City! Her names is Becky Cooper! It was beautiful. I got to be a witness for it. After that we ate at Pey Wey with the APs and parties. Life es buena. After all that we went to a baptism in Greenville that Sister Hall, the STL I have been serving with for 6 months, had been working for a really long time to get! Super spiritual weekend.
We have been meeting with Debra Stone since December and she is working towards being baptized again. She has concerns with stress-correlated smoking and has a hard time around people. We really felt the Spirit as. We testified of the Atonement of Jesus Christ that can help her overcome her weaknesses.
One guy I can never stop talking about is Brandyn. Seriously the dude is my best friend. No one can get us to shut up when we are around each other! After Elders Quorum he had really felt the Spirit when a man in the Quorum expressed some weaknesses. Brandyn came up to e basically in tears and asked what he could do to help him. I have never seen him do that or anything too similar before, but I know that the Spirit is with him. Such an awesome dude.
This week will be crucial in helping people get to the font and finding new people and helping others progress and dropping those who do not want to. We love the work. We are so tired every single day! Giving it our all. I love my comp Elder Vellinga. People think we are brothers. WE ARE!:) Love yall. It was Elder Vellinga’s Birthday on Thursday while we were in Greenville!
