We had another good week and are already on the last week of the transfer so that's kind of crazy! We were able to do a lot of service this week. We dug a trench for this family and laid sod for this lady. It was super nice to get out and do some physical labor in the yard, haha.
On Thursday we walked out our door to go to district council and we were like "where's our car?" Haha we had recently gotten a new car and apparently you are supposed to register your license plate with the apartment leasing office. So yeah. We got towed🤣 so that was fun to figure out but we got it handled.
Well this past week our friend Jerry dropped us :( haha he said he wasn't ready to commit to anything and wants to explore more religion or something like that. He is still going to have meetings with our ward mission leader so that will be good for him. Our Friend Christina is also moving to Carlsbad or something so we are passing her off soon; so now we are down to Patty! Haha Patty is progressing really well which is so awesome to see! Every time we meet with her she starts out pretty "end of the world" but every time we start reading the Book of Mormon with her and testifying of Jesus Christ, her attitude always changes and her heart softens.
The Book of Mormon truly is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It testifies of the power of His Atonement and how it is for each of us personally. Seeing that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is for each of us personally this means also that the Book of Mormon was written for EACH of us personally. Mormon tells us that the words in the Book of Mormon are written to each of us in Mormon 3:17-20. It all just shows how intricate Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation is for each of us. I encourage all of you to read the Book of Mormon everyday this week! If you have already, then keep on keeping on (enduring to the end Bro. Dixon style). If you haven't or if it's been awhile, then now is your chance to do it. I promise if you do, and if you study with real intent, you will feel God's love for you in greater abundance.
Love you all!
