Hello Friends and Family!!!
So this has been a super crazy week, getting ready for the craziest week of the transfer. We have been in the offices all day for four days straight. It’s been super crazy getting ready for the transfers, and we haven’t had a second to breathe today. I will try to sum up our week quickly, because I still have a ton of stuff to do.
So my first thing is that our investigator Renan finally received an answer to his prayer asking God for a business opportunity. He got a really good job offer, and it’s really going to help his family with their tough financial situation. The only thing is that he will be moving from our area, and we won’t be able to continue to teach him.. Yeah, that was tough.. tough to know that the answer to our prayers ended up taking him out of our area, but I’m just trying to be happy for him and this new opportunity God has given him!
We finally got to meet with Herman Jimenez! We put a baptismal date for the 14th of this month, and he is super excited!!! He went to conference, and came to our ward activity on Friday. He is super awesome, and way excited to get baptized!! We are looking forward to meeting with him more!!!
The highlight of the week was definitely General Conference this weekend!! It was such an amazing uplifting experience to listen to our new prophet and apostles and sustain them through solemn assembly. I definitely shed a few tears as I felt the spirit raising my hand to sustain our dear Prophet Russell M. Nelson, and our two new Apostles Gerrit Gong, and Ulisses Soares. I love them, and I sustain them with all of my heart. I especially loved the talk about meekness (something I need to develop more in my life) by Elder David A. Bednar, and the talk about "Behold the Man" by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf. What an uplifting spiritual experience to listen to our general authorities, and I hope we all try to apply the teachings and revelations that we received this weekend.
Well, I hope you all had a great Easter weekend!! Have a great week!!!!
Love, Elder Christian Duvall Newman
