"Somethin's comin, I don't know what it is but it is gonna be Great!" -West Side Story.
This song has been stuck in my head this past week! haha I've had this feeling that something great was in store for me and guess what?!?!
I'M TRAINING!
I got a call from President Godoy Saturday morning and he asked me if I could train a new missionary! and of course I said YES! I can't tell you guys how excited I am! I actually saw this coming. I felt like I was gonna train this transfer. But surprisingly I'm not even scared or nervous, mainly just excited! I will find out who she is tomorrow when she gets off the plane. I am grateful for the chance that I have to continue to learn and grow from this new experience! It'll be fun!!! IM SO EXCITED!
Its been a great transfer serving with Sister Cluff! She will be heading home to Alpine, Utah tomorrow afternoon. I have a strong testimony that there is a reason you are put with the companions you have. I have learned something different from each of them.
FIRST BAPTISM?!
Karl is not a member of the Church. His wife, Alissa is a member and they have 2 kids and attend the Jobs Peak ward. They invited us over for dinner a couple days ago and Karl asked if we could teach him the lessons because he plans on getting baptized with his 8 year old son next month on Aug 25th! We are exctied to work with him and prepare him to get baptized. He is super nice and chill and is interested in learning more!
President and Sister Godoy!
On fourth of July we all gathered to meet our new mission president! They are so awesome! They barley speak english but they are super funny and cool. President Godoy loves to joke around. He has 2 kids. One of them is serving a mission in Fresno, California. They both spoke to us and bore powerful testimonies! I left feeling very motivated and spiritually uplifted! This mission has been kinda going downhill ever since we got technology. The number of baptisms and people investigating have dropped big time. But President Godoy has come in with the perfect excitement to better help this mission. They talked about the importance of being exactly obedient and giving your all everyday because this time is too short. They gave us new guidlines for using technology. We can go on facebook for no more than 15 minutes a day. I am excited for the changes that President Godoy will continue to make to better help the work grow here in Nevada!
No more "Investigators"
So to add with all the changes that have been made in the church, there is now no such thing as "investigators". We are to call them "People we are teaching" haha so thats cool oh and also we have a new Preach my Gospel that we are encouraged to study. Its awesome!
I got a pic with the other Tongan Missionaries in the mission! SIster Tauveli, Elder Toe'tuu, and Elder Mailau.
The other picture with a bunch of elders is my mtc district.
