A Good Week

 Sorry yall I missed last week! I know most of you don't care except my mom and dad haha. Last week wasn't too eventful at all, we spent the whole working on the logistics of transfers. It was a mess because the amount of missionaries we were getting kept on changing while we were midway through planning, it was frustrating haha. 

    We got to take the new missionaries contacting on Tech straight from the airport! It was a blast they were so funny haha. I took two new ones with me and we got in a bash. I kindly ended it and the new missionaries were so bugged at me hahah they wanted me to start pulling out scriptures and get him back it was great haha.

    This week was a good one! We had a great lesson with our friend Omar. He loves Christ, but he has a lot of guilt and regret. He feels awful about the sins and mistakes he's made, and he wants to be clean before God. After teaching him the Restoration, we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was so powerful as we testified of Jesus Christ and his Atonement, and the power it has to rid us of those feelings. We felt super prompted to invite him to be baptized, and he said yes! He wants to pray and pick his own date, so I'll update yall next week.

    Our friend Angel who was on date then ghosted us, reached out! He apologized and explained that he relapsed and felt too embarrassed to reach out. But he read The Book of Mormon everyday he wasn't talking to us, and told us he felt he should reach out. So he will baptized soon! So exciting!! Pray for Angel and Chloe pleaseee.

    We found 4 new people to teach at Texas Tech this week! We fasted and prayed for God to guide us to prepared people, and we totally saw miracles. We met new friends Benjamin, Shams, Josiah and Loica. They are all so awesome and super genuine. 

    Sorry I don't have tons of time, but that was the quick update for the week! I challenge yall to go read Alma 14, the account of Alma and Amulek enduring persecution in prison. It's an awesome testimony of the power God has to deliver us from any sin or temptation we have, and a great example of how to endure trials and temptations. Please go read it! I love yall!

Love, Elder Ryan
