Seeing Some Miracles!

 Hey yall! Sorry I missed last week, but my Pday is early this week so it works out. This week has been transfer week so we've done a lot of planning. It's been a good time!

    I'll start with an update on our friends. Caden is doing super good. He came to our friend Olivia's baptism, and he came to another baptism here in Lubbock. We have had a couple of awesome lessons about The Plan of Salvation with him. As we taught about the Plan he told us he wants to go to the celestial kingdom, but doesn't see why baptism is necessary. We told him that his life and journey back to God and to the celestial kingdom is like a rocky and twisty path. It's easy to slip and fall. Whats so amazing about baptism and covenants in general is that Christ, in Gethsemane and on the cross, walked each of our paths. So when we are bound to him by covenant, we are now walking with him making it so we cannot slip and fall. He really loved that and it made sense to him, and he told us he sees why baptism is necessary! He is currently praying about a date to be baptized, so pray for Caden!

    Our friend Mike Jr. is on date for the first weekend of November. What's interesting is his dad hates our church and us missionaries. As we were teaching Mike this last week, his dad came in and started bashing us and told us that we're done meeting with Mike. Mike is over 18 so he can do what he wants. Mike said that he is confused because he feels like he should follow us, but his dad is pulling him the other way. We stayed very kind, but we got very bold. We were testifying that this is the true church, and this is the ONLY way for happiness, joy and exaltation. We testified that the church is true and that Mike could not find rest or his answers anywhere else. His dad obviously didnt like that but he agreed to let us keep seeing Mike! PRAY FOR HIM PLEASE!

    We had an awesome experience at Texas Tech. We were talking to two members who we saw there, when some lady walked by. I had the impression to smile at her so I did and then she walked away. About 10 seconds later, she came back and poked us and said she needed to talk to us. She told us her life story and how she felt like she needed to come speak to us. She is so prepared and it was such a miracle! 

     I went down to Midland and went on exchanges with Tanner it was so fun haha. I did the Paqui one chip challenge which is stupid hot and I lasted over an hour after without eating anything. Not anything impressive but I was proud of it haha. 

     Anyway that was a review on our people! Sorry it wasn't much but these last few weeks have been great! Love yall!

Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
