Hey everyone! So today is my Pday for this week! I got transferred at the beginning of the week this week to be in the office. I'm still in Lubbock, and my new comp is Elder Tovey. I've been with him and Elder Anderson, who goes home next week. Elder Checketts, my old comp, is with other missionaries until this Tuesday. It's been a wild week.
I'm super sad about leaving the area just because I've only been here 5 weeks, and Elder Checketts and I have worked really hard to get things going. We finally have a lot of good stuff set up this next week but, that is alright. It's not my plan, it's God's- so everything will work out. I'm really excited for my new area! It's a YSA and I get to serve on Texas Tech campus.
So this Monday we did the car wash and it was awesome. We found like 4 families from it and it seriously just went so well. I got really sun burnt haha but other than it was great.
On Tuesday I got the call that I was leaving so we planned to say goodbye to some members but our day didn't really allow that. We helped like 3 families move in, and then we had a lesson with Ermina. It was SO GREAT! We taught The Plan of Salvation and it was so cool because her daughter, Evelyn, was just baptized 2 weeks ago. So we were able to talk about the decision Evelyn made and how it'll help her in the whole plan. At the end, I asked Ermina if she wanted to follow Evelyn's and the Savior's example and be baptized, and she said yes! She wants to learn a lot more but she wants to be baptized. I'm so sad because I'm now leaving the area, but I'm staying in Lubbock so she made me promise that I will come to her baptism.
On Wednesday I got picked up by Elder Tovey and Elder Anderson. We went to a bunch of meetings about transfers and it was really long and I hadn't eaten yet so that was tough.
So in my new area I now cover Texas Tech and it's seriously so fun. We went contacting on Tech and I loved it. There are so many people, even now during the semester. We handed out 8 copies of the Book of Mormon and 2 people got so excited, and scheduled a time for us to go meet them. It was cool to just let the spirit guide on what I should say next, and every time one of us would say something that the person needed to hear. Super awesome!
On Friday we took a huge van and drove it up to Dumas, Texas to pick up some missionaries. It was 6 hours round trip. It was super fun we just got to listen to Conference talks and music.
Anyway, thats just a quick rundown of the week. Love y'all! Have a good week!
Love, Elder Ryan
