Aloha Family!
Fall is finally here! (i saw it on a calendar... the official day was yesterday) But its really summer still! the air is still warm on most days and the sun is shining! But it is getting cooler ill give it that.
So this week has been crazy! Lets start out with Sam and Mikaela. Im kind of sick of reporting on them... because they need to get baptized. And they know it too. we just need to work out some things and meet with the husband. But they are doing amazing! In fact this week we saw a HUGE miracle! Mikaela's brother Jon Sat in on a lesson once and we taught him the gospel of Jesus Christ and he took a Book of Mormon and said he would read it. Well less then a week later Mikaela asked him if he was going to read and he said no its not my bible... and we left it at that. This week comes around and Jon asks Sam and Mikaela if he can go to mutual with her. (obviously a yes) So he showed up with his girlfriend and they loved it!! We had a lesson with them the next night and he told us how he just noticed the difference in the people that were there and how they acted and how the atmosphere was different! The night of mutual he grabbed his Book of Mormon and stayed up reading it! How sick is that?! He and his girlfriend also came to church yesterday and said they will be coming every week now! Im so stoked!! I love the gospel! So now we are teaching Jon as well as his girlfriend! I hope that since we are teaching their whole family that the husband will see the change its making in them and want to sit in on the discussions as well! AH! im just so happy!
This week we got some big news! Transfer calls! On tuesday we got trainer calls and guess whos training? i am. as well as two other Elders in our district. On saturday we got the Details. whos going where and all that. Elder Smith is going to be a Zone Leader in Shiloh (called it) Elder Brooks is staying and training and Elder Brown is White wash training carbondale IL. As for me im staying in Danville and training... and im District Leader... So theres that. Im pretty nervous for this transfer but... what can you do. I wont find out who my trainee will be until Wednesday when he gets up to the pulpit and says my name So ill be letting you know next week who that is.
Other then that not much else has happened. We have been doing service a lot as usual and this week we helped a lady tear down some walls in her house! Boom! I felt like hulk or something just busting through drywall! it was awesome! But we cut it short because we had a lesson with our solid investigator Jimmy Hauffa. I don't know if ive told you about him but he is from a part member family who moved into our ward awhile ago and things have been going great! He wants to get baptized and him and his wife's goal is to get sealed in the temple. The only problem is he works on most sundays (but we have talked to leadership about that) so finding a time to get him baptized and confirmed is going to be hard. But we are shooting for the end of October early November. :D
