Hey
everyone!
So
I'm gonna have to keep this short.
My
new companion is great! His name is Elder Lee and he's from Bicknel, Utah.
That's a tiny little village of 300 people in south central Utah. It's pretty
much in the middle of nowhere. The closest Walmart is 1 hour away haha. He's
awesome! Such a solid missionary, and I'm going to learn a lot from him.
We
live in a four-plex. We have the upstairs, and the mandarin missionaries live
down stairs. It's a party! I there are three mandarin Elders that live with us,
and they're sweet. They're the funniest guys in the world and keep life
interesting. It's not uncommon to have one climb up onto our balcony and then
run through our house screaming haha. Random things like that happen all the
time. I love it so much!
My
new ward is great! We cover a few neighborhoods in Calgary, and then the Tsuu
Tina Indian reserve. We have a lot of diversity in our ward which makes it fun!
So
our week!
On
Monday we had a lesson with Akbar and his kids again. We taught them about
repentance and it was a great lesson. We just went through the steps of
repentance, and talked about how it's all possible through the Savior, and bore
testimony on Him. It was neat to see Akbar begin to understand the repentance
process. I'm so excited for that family! The gospel is exactly what they need
right now, and they're taking some great steps towards Christ.
On
Wednesday we had MLC, our meeting with all of the Zone Leaders and Sister
Training Leaders in the mission. It was in Lethbridge, so we got to drive down
there right through Claresholm! Then we had our meeting in the chapel I used to
meet at when I served in Lethbridge! It's really cool to get to see old areas from
the mission. Our meeting was great! We talked about helping people make
commitments, and about less actives and how we can help them better progress.
It was a spirit packed meeting! After it was over we had to rush back to our
area to make it to our ward Corn Bust! It's the season of Taber corn again, so
needless to say, I've been eating corn at just about every meal!
On
Friday we got to teach Brother Mesa. He's a less active member that moved into
our ward a while ago. He's a more recent member of the church, and really
want's to become active again. We were able to share with him a message about
how much God loves him. He doesn't have much of a doctrinal knowledge of the
Church, but he has real intent which is great to see!
On
Saturday we had exchanges with the Queensland Elders! I was able to go to
Queensland with Elder Pugh for the day. It was so much fun getting to serve in
my old area for a day! We got to see George and Doris again! We had a good chat
with them, and got to talk about Family History and how the gospel blesses
families. They're such a sweet couple, and I hope that they are able to come to
learn more about the gospel.
Sunday
was fantastic! We had our regular church meetings, and then our dinner with
President and Sister Miles. After that we went out contacting people. We saw
our potential investigator, Rose, and she told us that she's been looking for a
church to go to, so we told her where ours was, and she said, "Well I'll
have to gather my kids up next week and come check it out!" So keep her in
your prayers! We're really praying that she's comes to church next week! We
also stopped by a less active family, the Pollards. We thought they had moved,
but apparently they had moved back recently. Sister Pollard has been going through
a lot with her health right now, and has some big decisions to make. We could
tell that she was exhausted and very stressed. We were able to give her a
blessing before we left, and the spirit was so strong. The Priesthood is really
an amazing thing, and it's such a blessing to be able to use it. Please keep
her in your prayers as well!
Well
that was our week! For a spiritual though, I'd like to invite each of you to
read the talk, "None were with him" by Jeffry R. Holland. Great talk
about the Savior and his sacrifice!
Love
you all!
Love,
Elder
Moffitt
