This week has gone by so fast! Mainly because we got to go on 3 tradeoffs as a said last week. My first tradeoff was with Elder Parsons, he is the District Leader in Monroeville, AL. The district meeting was really good and then we went to work up in his area. The coolest part about the tradeoff was the service that we did. Many of you know I was not a big reader back home, but one book I was able to read was "To Kill a Mockingbird". Monroeville is actually where that story is based off of. We went to the museum where the court case in the book took place and it was really cool, I enjoyed it.
The next tradeoff was with my boy Elder Clayton in Mobile North's area. It was kind of different being with each other again but we both loved it, he is growing a lot with the situation he has been put in. My last tradeoff was with Elder Miller. He is the Elder that replaced me in Mobile South and as a District Leader, he is the man! I would love to serve with him, plus he has the best voice I’ve ever heard, we will be singing sometime in zone training and in church. My spiritual experience with him was this: Elder Clayton and I had previously worked a certain portion of that area a lot when we served there but never found the person we needed to and I relayed this to Elder Miller so he came up with a game plan. We had 2 gps's so I took one and he took one and we each chose a street in this area to tract and my area was a little closer so we went to mine first. We knocked on the first door and no one answered, we went to the second door and when this man opened up, we didn’t say a single word and he just said "come in." Honestly I thought we were going to get bashed but it was a great lesson and contact! They had been taught by the missionaries 15 years ago and said they'd read and pray. It was cool to see how the Lord works.
I don’t have many stories for my own area, it doesn’t feel like I was there at all. We had a crazy storm yesterday where there was tornado warnings and watches. We had to drive in the storm up to the church for safe shelter. Once we were at the church we saw that there was a cop there which was kind of weird. Come to find out someone broke into the church this past week, nothing was stolen but it was still inconvenient. We have stake conference this weekend and then general conference next weekend. I’m super excited! I have thought a lot about prayer this week. There are a lot of things that can go into prayer but I have realized that nothing is as important as the gratitude we show. We can see Heavenly Father’s hand more abundantly in our lives as we thank him in our daily prayers.
Love always,
All is well!
