| Fred's baptism!!! |
South Bend zone Interviews Glasses Gang
We had a baptism on Saturday!!
Well this week as you know I was transferred out of Indianapolis and now I am now living in Plymouth Indiana.. It is a small farm town in the northern part of Indiana, it is close to Southbend where Notre Dame is.
This week has been good. It has been a weird switch to go to the city and then come back here up north. I missed the north but I really miss the city. I miss the loud streets and the loud music and the busy roads and the tall buildings and houses every 20 feet and all the people and the chaos. I miss it all. Plymouth is very quiet, very small and very white trash. Everyone just lives off disability... It's so bad. They just sit at home all day and watch TV and get money for being injured... What a life.
But yes the work continues no matter the area. And in fact, we had a baptism on Saturday!!! I was lucky enough to come into this area and they baptized someone but I have gotten super close with Fred and he is a stellar dude. He is so solid and his love for the gospel is amazing. He has completely changed his life and has sacrificed so much to be baptized... I am honored to be here for Fred. Also there are some Hispanics in this area so that's why I am here so that I can help out with the Spanish work and there is a recent convert named Jose Cantero and he is a G. He sits in the back of sacrament and I translate everything for him and then me and him just went into a classroom for the second hour and we just talked about his life and I got to know him... Apparently I'm suppose to one on one teach him... Idk I feel like there is a better solution so I am going to find that solution this week.
I am doing very swell. I love my companion. His name is Elder Paramore. He is from Oregon and everyone has asked if he is older... No he's 19. He's super chill and easy going but we gunna get the work moving here in Plymouth. We have 2 more baptisms coming up these next couple weeks so we are excited.
Also fun fact, I did some family history this past week... Well I didn't do anything I just read up. My family doesn't even know about this and I have been fascinated about what I have read so far.... Apparently my great great great grandpa Turley was best friends with Joseph F Smith and he use to do Joseph Smith's chores for him... And also he basically colonized Arizona and got the church to go down there and also he colonized a bunch of cities in Mexico. And the reason why the church started in Chihuahua Mexico was because of him... He took it there because he was called to by Brigham young... What a legend... So don't be surprised if you see my ggg grandpa in the next saints volumes lol.
