HELLO. Holy cow I cant believe that it has been another week, and I'm finally done with my 1st transfer! This has definitely been the fastest week of my life! But its been a really good week!
To start off, I now have a new companion! His name is Elder Adams, and is from Honeyville, Utah. I've only known him for 2 hours now, and still don't know much about him, but I have a feeling he's gonna be great! Elder Christensen left this morning to Agoo to be a Zone leader. I'm so grateful for him and his hard work, especially here in Candon.
I started out the week with another exchange on Tuesday with Elder Revil. It was my 1st time with a Filipino. I was pretty nervous tbh, because He's fairly new as well, and I was leading the area. But in reality, we had a killer day. Started out a little rough, but we were able to teach some powerful lessons.
Wednesday was Zone Conference. We heard the Last testimony of President Bangal. He leaves June 30th, and hes so excited to leave lol. I'm so excited for our new Mission President, President Oldroyd. Its gonna be sick. We also heard the testimonies of the Missionaries leaving this last transfer. One of them was my Zone Leader, Elder Rennie. Way cool guy, and sad to see him go.
Thursday we had a Service Project. We poured cement for the beams of the house. The only tough part was that they don't have cement mixers here, all by hand baby. So you guess you could say my arms are jacked now lol.
So, I definitely dislike bikes now lol. So on Saturday night, we were heading to the Sales Family for a family home evening. We were riding our bikes, nothing new, without hands on the handlebar (weird flex I know). But yeah anyway I started to feel the front tire wobble a little bit. As soon as I put my hands back on the handles, my bike took a swerve to the right into a ditch. I tried to swerve back to the left, but I ended up over-correcting into the Ditch lol. Somehow I flipped over the handle bars and landed back on the road. No major injuries, just a scraped elbow haha. The Church is true. After, we had a really good FHE with the Bishop and Sales Family. So good, and I feel like the Sales Family is right on the edge of a Baptismal Date. Later that night, Elder Christensen got his transfer call. He was sad to leave, but the work still goes.
Yesterday we spent saying goodbye to everyone for E. Christensen. BUT, we were able to get 2 new people with a PBD! One of them was our Investigator, Micheal Siazon! Such a good guy! The other was an old couple, Ben & Josie, Such good people. This transfer is looking like a lot of Baptisms, and I couldn't be more excited!
This Gospel is so good. I testify that it is the only way to true joy and happiness. Jesus Christ lives! and Atoned for our sins. I'm so grateful for him. The Church is true!
Love y'all! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Haws
