Just received the transfer phone call... |
So, I have been transferred!! My new area is the Perris Ward here in Perris,
California – not Paris, France :/ I came back to the Menifee stake so my old
area is just 10 minutes away! My
companion is Elder Rose and we are excited to work! We are called Perizzites (Exodus 3:8). I no longer have any other extra
responsibilities except missionary work so that is going to be a pretty nice
change!!

Our sweet ole investigator - Sister Logan |
So two weeks ago a missionary named Elder Jones and I were
teaching our investigator Sister Logan that is 91 and lives in a senior living
center. She tells us her caretaker that
works there, Annette, is having surgery in a week because she has an ulcer (or
tumor I don’t remember which) on her uterus (bleh) but she said you boys are of
God and need to give her a blessing. We
did not complain one bit, but even if we did who is going to say no to a sweet
ole 91-year-old woman that is right? NO ONE! So we shared with her that we believe we have
the same priesthood authority that Christ gave to his apostles when he walked the
earth and organized them together (Luke 9:1-2). We then shared with her James 5:13-15 and then
explained to her how blessings were performed. We gave her a blessing and the
spirit was very strong. Then we come
back this past week to visit Sister Logan and she tells us that Annette went in
for her check-up before her surgery and the doctor says he has no idea how it
happened but that the ulcer (or tumor) was gone and he has no idea how. We told her that we know how. It is because God is good and he has her
priesthood here on the earth so that just as Christ we may be able to bless and
serve those around us.
Love you all have an amazing week :)
Love,
