This week was crazy! So much happened. I'll try to keep it brief though.
So first thing, I got a new companion! Surprise! We still have 2 weeks left in the transfer too. It's a really long story but to keep it short, there was a situation that went down with another companionship so Elder Dummer and I are on exchanges until the end of the transfer. My new companion is Elder Reeves! He is a stud. We really get along great too.
We had a big change with all the investigators we are teaching also. Our most solid investigator at the moment is named Tekeam. He is a referral we got from a recent convert a couple weeks ago. Well Tuesday
night we set a baptism date with him for December 4th which is actually the Sunday right before Elder Reeves goes home. He is progressing well towards it too.
On Tuesday, when Elder Dummer was still here, we had an amazing lesson with one of our investigators named Shirley. We actually had the lesson at the church. She was sooo excited too. Man the spirit was
powerful too. We explained the sacrament to her and them opened the doors to the chapel. When she walked in she just broke down in tears because the spirit was testifying to her so powerfully. What a
miracle. Honestly times like these are the life changing moments.
It was just a powerful week because we also had Elder Schwitzer of the 70 come give a tour of our mission. We went to a leadership meeting on Thursday for most of the day. Then when we got back to Daytona Elder
Dummer and I got back together and had to give a training to some of the auxiliary leaders in the stake about referrals. Then first thing Friday, we headed back toward Orlando for another conference with
Elder Schwitzer. This time it was with all the missionaries. I learned so much! He said, "We are just here to serve a mission, we are here to become missionaries."
Well I hope you all have a good week!
