Well something interesting happened this week. I showed up to transfer meeting to get my new companion. While there I found out that I would be in a trio and would be training when the new missionary arrives. That was a surprise. haha. My new companions name before we got the 3rd missionary is Elder Su'a from UT. If you remember me having someone as a friend on Facebook who was going to my same mission, that's Elder Su'a. We were friends on fb and now he is my companion. Small world. Elder Su'a is hilarious. He reminds me of cousin Mike a lot. He looks like him, just not white, and he acts a lot like him. It cracks me up. My other companions name is Elder Bergman and he is from Syracuse UT. He is excited to be here.
Well things were a little slow this week between the new companionship, the new year, and me being really sick. Despite that, we still had some really cool things happen. We had 2 lessons with Laura this week. Both were about the Book of Mormon. We read Enos with her and it went really well. We got her excited to read the Book of Mormon. We were able to help her understand who is writing, who the Nephites and Lamanites are, etc so that it makes more sense. We also touched on why the Book of Mormon is so important in finding out the truth of the Restored Gospel.
Yesterday was a really good Sunday. The chapel was almost full! Something that I wouldnt have ever imagined seeing in the Melbourne ward when I first got here. Laura didn't come though. She texted and said that she fell asleep reading the Book of Mormon and didn't set her alarm. Coolest excuse for an investigator not to come to church, right? hahaha It was funny. Pray for her. Pray that she might have the strength to act on what the Holy Ghost has testified to her, despite difficult changes that she may have to make in her life. We also met with a man named Sterling who wants to get baptized in February. Things are really looking up. I wish I could write more but I don't have much time. One really cool thing that I realized this week was that I kind of feel comfortable with what I'm doing and I kind of act like I know what I'm doing. Getting a new companion I technically was "taking over" the area since I know all the people. Now that Elder H is gone and that I'm training I am more prepared than I thought I was! I hope you all have a great week and get to feeling better! I love you all!
love,
Elder Steed
