A Broken Family, A Broken Home

Haha got them!

Well big new is I got transferred which was a surprise since I didn't finish training Elder Slade yet. Guess he will be brought up in a broken home bc of me whoops. The other area in our district got shut down and so the elders now cover our entire ward which is like 90 square miles. So if you want to know a little bit about how Elder Slade feels just read Mormon 8:3 lol. I'll be headed to the Lake Houston Zone to be the zone leader. I'm pretty excited because there are a lot of guys I really love in that zone. My companion is Elder Toledo from Tuscan Arizona.

RIP Port Arthur District

I nailed that statue pose

Well this week was pretty crazy honestly, on Monday night at like 9:30 we had Sister Gordon call us who is the grandma of our recent convert Dallas. Well she told us that Dallas' dad had passed away unexpectedly and he wanted the missionaries to come over so we called president and he let us go over. Our bishop was there and he gave him a blessing. But we spent a lot of this week over at that home helping them out with stuff and just talking with Dallas. 

On Sunday Dallas got to pass the sacrament for the first time which was really cool. It was pretty hard for him because his dad who is inactive promised hi  he would come to church the first time he passed the sacrament. But Dallas ended up passing the sacrament to his family which was really special because he was able to administer that ordinance to his family. Because of the Savior I know they will be comforted and find understanding during this hard time. Then we went and said bye to them later that night, I'll really miss that family and I loved the time that I got to spend with them! 

I hope that you all have an amazing week and don't forget to be good and all that stuff, love you all!

Mom’s Questions

Any changes in your district with transfers?

So, everyone in the district left besides Elder Slade and they will, join the Beaumont district. 

How have you seen the Lord directing your work this week?

Well we found some potentially cool people that Elder Slade can work with in the future so I know we were led to them!

I know you are training your companion, but what have you learned from him?

Elder Slade was really good at bearing his testimony to lots of people that we met which I thought was really cool how willing he was. 

Is your mission moving to smart phones? 

Yup we are moving to smart phones this transfer so the Zone leaders already have them and the rest of the mission gets them at their zone conference
