Elder Argyle is my new companion and he is from Sacramento
Californian. He has only been out three months and is a great
missionary. He is very clam when he talks and has made connections with
people I never thought were possible. He is also a visa waver, his
actual call is to Kenya. I'm glad I got to sever with him. He is a great
kid and I know this transfer will be great.
This week there have been lots of miracles that have happened.
The first day with Elder Argyle we got a call from the Zone leaders and
they gave us the privilege to give a blessing to a member that was
struggling. Before we gave him the blessing we talked about why we have
challenges (D&C 29: 39), obedience brings blessing (D&C 130:
20-21), and we have to act on our faith before we see the blessings
(Ether 12:6). The cool thing was, is that's what I studied that morning
and now I know why I was influenced to look at those topics. The spirit
of revelation is great. Then after that we went to a guy that we had
been trying to visit for a while and no answer. We had finally got a
hold of him and before we left he said he wants to be baptized and that
he knows that he needs to. He also said that when we were talking to him
that it was the most clam he had ever felt and really likes talking to
us. Elder Argyle and him are from the same place so they made a
connection very fast. I know that where we are called to serve and who
we serve with is from God. We also taught six lesson on Sunday and one
of those lessons was on the phone. It was one of the coolest experiences
that I have had on my mission. Sunday night we were in our apartment
and waiting for the district leader to call for numbers and I had this
feeling to call this number. I had never called it and had no idea who
it was but i did it. This lady answered and we started to talk and she
had been having a really hard time living in Huston and is going to move
to new york for a new start . Then I asked her what she thought was the
purpose in life was. She broke down and started to cry and said she had
no idea and she really wants to know. So we talked a little bit more
and then asked if I could send missionaries to her when she moves to
new york and she said yea and would love that. It was a great experience
to have!! One little question can change peoples life.
This is going to be a great transfer. Obedience and faith
brings blessing and miracles (Moroni 7:36-37) That is my testimony and I
know with all my heart to be true. The principle I've learned the most
about is obedience and I will show my love and faith in God by keeping
and doing his will.
