Transfers are tomorrow and I got the news that I am training! I am super excited! I get to stay in the area and I'll find out who I am training tomorrow! Super sad I don't get to be companions with Elder Killian for another transfer. He is awesome! But I'm excited to meet my new trainee! Elder Killian is getting transfered to Lawndale. His new companion is a Chinese Elder, Elder Kao. Pretty exciting stuff.
This past week was pretty fun! We did a lot of practices for our musical fireside. We performed Saturday and Sunday night and I got to be in the choir. It was a lot of fun! Today to celebrate after our performance President Galrath is having an all you can eat taco truck come to his house and we are doing a taco eating competition. It's going to be pretty awesome! I'll take pics.
This week we also got to do some more service. We went up to the temple and did yard work on the temple grounds for a few hours. Its crazy how much work goes into keeping the temple grounds nice!
Me and Elder Killian got to speak in church yesterday and it went really well! We got asked to speak on missionary work and in my talk I shared a scripture that I really like so I'll share it again. It's D&C 18: 15-17 it says,
15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!
17 Behold, you have my gospel before you, and my rock, and my salvation.It's so true that your joy can be great when you share the gospel with others! Sharing the gospel is so much fun and helping others get the blessings that come from it is the best.
Have a great week!!
