Hey Family!
BOOM!!! Panthers in the Super Bowl!! It stinks that I'll miss it but I'm rooting for them!
This week was pretty sweet! Anthony was baptized and it went awesome!! He was able to bear his testimony after he was baptized and it was awesome! He shared Helaman 5:12 in his testimony and told everyone that he had had a pretty rough couple of weeks before his baptism but that Christ got him through it and he knows the covenant that he made and how important it was for him to get baptized and how much it has blessed his life! He’s super awesome and definitely going to be a kingdom builder! He wants to serve a mission as soon as he can so that is super awesome!
We also met some sweet new investigators this week! We knocked into a lady named Jamie who lives right across the street from a member and we talked to her about the Book of Mormon and she said that she knows some Mormons, including the ones across the street from her, and that she is definitely interested in learning more about the church! They have a church that they go to that is over in Albuquerque and they love it but they definitely want to talk to us. So we asked her when a good time would be for us to come by and talk more, and she said “The people across the street said that you guys don’t really have a home or places to eat? We would love to feed you guys sometime this week!” Haha so we gave her an open day that we had and told her we would come by for dinner on that day! So later in the week we went by for dinner and the husband answered the door this time and he was like “Hey guys come on in!” He was super nice, and we talked to them about the church and a little bit about our missions and basketball and sports and stuff because he likes sports. Then after we ate dessert we asked them if they had any questions for us about what we believe and stuff, and they had a lot of questions. Most of the questions that they had were questions that people use to bash us usually, but they were really nice about it and genuinely interested. So we had a really long discussion about salvation and how we are saved, and they kinda have a born again Christian view about it kinda like all we need to do is accept Christ and then we are saved and kinda how God picks who is saved and he does it all and there is really nothing we can do except let Christ into our hearts. So we talked a lot about agency and how we need to keep the commandments and stuff. They are really knowledgeable about the Bible and stuff so it was a really good discussion, and we talked for a pretty long time, but eventually we had to go so we asked them if we could come back and continue later, and they said that they would love to have us over for dinner again! So we are going to go back hopefully sometime this week! They are a really nice family and they would be perfect Mormons! They have 8 kids and they all have really good standards, and they really believe in Christ! So that was a cool experience!
Other than that, we biked a lot this week because our miles in our car got cut, but I love biking so that was sweet! Our area is big and hilly so we got some good exercise! Last night we got a text from President Miller that said “Elder Summerhays please give me a call when you get the chance.” So we called him and he called me to be a district leader and a trainer!! So I get to train a new missionary this next transfer and I’m pumped!!:) So that probably means I’m going to get transferred this transfer. I’m super excited though, it’s going to be a sweet experience and I’m going to work him like a rented mule!! Haha anyways, that was my week! I love and miss all of you guys, and hope everything is going well! Talk to you later!
Love Elder Summerhays
