Hey y’all!
This week has been interesting with transfers and all.
Im now companions with Elder Mansaray.
So we were talking about our brothers and found out that they both served in Fort Collins on their missions! Then I remembered that Jacob is rooming at BYUI with someone from his mission…and that he had a brother in this mission! But I was supposed to look for an Elder Fadika or something like that. But I told Elder mansaray that I was suposed to look for some black missionary here, he told me that his older brother had said the same thing! Story short: Im serving with Jacobs companions little bro :] With a different last name. Small world!
Im also finding it hard to be the missionary left in the area – as I have to introduce my new comp. to the investigators. Always choosing where to go and such…but its all good!
The Lord is testing my patience! Haha we have a lot of Texas Talkers. If you stand in front of them, theyll go on for at LEAST an hour.
Recently we met with Flora and told her that I had given a talk in church on Sorrow (and how we need not to). She then said, “WAIT, THERES A LOT TO BE SORROWFUL ABOUT!” I then said that i guess there was some to be sorry about, and then she said, “OK, THEN WHAT IS SOMETHING YOUD BE SORROWFUL ABOUT?” I told her if my friend got hurt. then that stumped her! (Shes just trying to argue any point I have and she couldnt figure out how to argue that) She thought really hard then said, “SO IF YOUR FRIEND GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WOULD YOU FIRST BE WORRIED, OR SORROWFUL?” and I was thinking, “Flora, cant I be both at the same time?!” hahah she then ended with, “I DONT SORROW, SORROW IS DEAD IN ME!” Oh Flora…She totally changed views in 5 min. goodness…hahah
Well sorry its short, Ive been kicked off!
Love you all!!
