So I got a new companion this week. His name is elder Baird from
Utah. He has been out 7 months; super cool kid. We seem to be getting along
just fine as well. He is senior companion, but it is kind of weird because I am
the one who knows the area, so I kind of do the senior comp stuff. But I am
really sad to see Elder Wright leave; He is now in Indianapolis.
We got some really cool news this week. The Indianapolis temple
is going to be dedicated August 23 2015! This is going to be a huge blessing to
the people here in Indiana and to the work. I am so excited to be able to be
here during this great time!
This week we weren’t able to teach any lessons, don’t know why.
But we did get to come into contact again with Isaac. We gave him an English Book
of Mormon so he can read it in both languages, and he was more open to us and
told us to come back this week so we could discuss more. SO that’s cool.
But this week we lost Luis as an investigator. He had changed
the part of the factory he was working in and was super sore. His uncle wanted
him to go to church (don’t know which church) with him but he did want to go
but his uncle convinced him to go. He said he really liked it. He also said
that it was really easy to learn from him because his Spanish was a lot better
that ours (OUCH) and that he finally learned where Satan came from (our next
lesson was the plan of salvation dang it!) also the preacher said a prayer over
Luis and as soon as it was over the soreness left his body and he felt tons
better. So he told us muchas gracias for everything we had done for him, but he
was going to study with this preacher now. I am super sad at this happening,
and I hope one day he can be taught by the missionaries. I know he felt the
spirit so hopefully that will work within him and soften his heart.
This week is going to be a big week of tracting. Trying to find
new investigators. I know God places people in our paths to where they and we
need to be. So we are going to be doing what we need to do to be in the right
spot for the right people.
Love you guys!
Elder
