District Leader - October 23, 2017

Wigs for our Halloween Costumes!

October 23, 2017

So not much happened this week. it was pretty lame. Transfers are this next week and we found out that Elder Pond and I are staying in the Carmel, Indiana area and we will still be with each other. So that's good. We get along great and we have a lot of fun together.

    I also found out that I will be DISTRICT LEADER.  It really isn't a big deal for everyone that has been on a mission, they know that the DL really isn't important.  It's nice to see the president trusts me even tho I am still so new to the mission. 

       Not much has happened this week tho. The members here are awesome in the Keystone Ward. I'm excited I will be here for the holidays because they are wealthier so maybe they will give us nice presents. lol I'm excited.  I love every and thank you so much for everything that you guys do. We are trying our best out here in Indiana. The work is slow in my area but we are doing everything we can to grow the Lords vineyard. 

      I'll share one cool experience. So we were just PCing (talking to people) in the downtown Carmel area. and I got lazy and I said lets just sit on this bench over here and maybe people will come and talk to us.  Right after this, some guy asked if we knew where the padthai food place was.  We pointed in which direction it was. He stood there for a couple seconds just like kicking his feet and not saying anything, finally he asked "what do you guys do? " So we gave him the whole schpeel about missionaries.  He just broke down and opened up to us. He was in tears on this bench in front of the whole downtown area. He was just telling us how crappy his life is and how he needs Jesus. So we pointed him in the direction of the closest catholic church. SIKE!! Of course we taught him and we invited him to come to church with us and meet new friends and talk to people, but he didn't show up.  We are going to teach him hopefully and dunk him. (spiritually). 

           I know God is out there and I know he is real. He puts people in our path, all we need to do is pray for those opportunities and he will give them to us. We just need to pray and then show up, so that when we show up he can use us in ways that we might not even know we could be used. we all have special gifts for a reason. 

I love you guys.
