This week was a lot of housing other Elders for transfers and driving peoples around and stuff like that! But yeah, also I got to see Elder Butler again!!! (The missionary that Ryan trained) It was really cool! He is awesome and is doing great! He actually got to overnight in my apartment with me and we talked about how things are going and his missionary work! It was so cool. For the longest time I wondered if I had done a good job helping him become a good Elder. But after spending time with him I realized how diligent of a missionary he had become and how he was really a great Elder! I made we pretty happy to see that and hear about all the Success that they have been having in Hamm. The work is really moving forward, it makes me super happy!
We also had another lesson with Bruder L and he is doing amazing. It's been super cool the past few weeks to see him repenting and changing and working hard!! He is really right now working on using the Atonement of Jesus of Christ and changing himself. He is a great man and things I think are going well between him and the other member of the ward so that is really cool!!! All in all, he is doing amazing!
Well we are also working with another less active man named Bruder H his story is insane but he has a goal right now of going to church on Dec 6th, so we are praying he keeps his commitment.
We saw a cool miracle this week, one was during finding we were about to visit a less active member and on the way back to the car I stopped this man and talked with him. He started arguing with me about the divinity of Jesus Christ I was trying to be polite. Then he said, "The bible doesn't even say that Jesus was the son of god." I was like "Doch!" It does!!!! I then told him about the baptism of Jesus Christ and the voice from the heaven. He got quite really fast. I gave him our card and then left. 15 minutes later he called and wanted us to bring a bible by his home! Hopefully, something will work out.
Another was we were waiting for a person to come to church and I decided to stop and talk to this man. We started talking and he said "Oh the sister missionaries are my next door neighbors." We ended up giving him a Book of Mormon and talked for a while and bore testimony on the things we were sharing it was just super cool!!! It was a little miracle!!
Well we still need someone to teach. We are trying to find someone, I'm working this week at being as diligent as possible and being the best I can be so I can receive the blessings and be prepared for the challenges and struggles and hold my head high. If there is anything I have learned from this past couple transfers is that this is not the missionary work of Elder White it is HIS work. I need to be patient and loving even when times get tough and hope seems to be gone. Realize that sometimes the Lords work doesn't make sense, but like the scripture says, he will give it to us line upon line precept upon precept. Here a little and there a little. That tough for me sometimes but I just need to be patient and the Lord will provide!!! The gospel of Jesus Christ will and can change lives, I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer and that great joy comes keeping the commandments of the Lord!
Love,
Elder White
