Hey yall! (This email is from a week ago) You're not gonna believe it, but Tanner (Elder Nordquist) and I are comps! We are also training a new missionary together, his name is Elder Draper. He's such a hype Elder, I could not be more excited for this transfer!
So I'm leaving the YSA ward in Lubbock. I'm super sad about it, there's so many members and people we're teaching that I just love. But some of them are coming to Utah for school so I'll see them again haha. I'm now going to be in Amarillo with Elder Nordquist and Elder Draper!
I had a couple experiences teaching about Jesus Christ and His Atonement this week. One of our recent converts was going home for Thanksgiving and her family is very against the church. We read the scripture in the beatitudes in Matthew, that says "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake; Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven." It was a super powerful lesson about standing out and standing alone for the sake of Christ.
We had a great experience with some inactive members who are really struggling right now. One is struggling with a few addictions and they're going through some heavy stuff. It was just so incredible to feel the spirit and the love that God had for them as they were being so vulnerable. God truly loves EVERYONE no matter their circumstances and mistakes.
Other than that it was just a bunch of working on transfers and driving for hours around the mission. I love yall!
Love, Elder Ryan
