Elder Bills! That's An Investigator!

Well, we had 3 Investigators attend church this week, which blew me away, I was looking over and sacrament meeting and thought I was losing my mind. So yeah, that was an amazing, But of course it happened on the last Sunday Elder Richards was here.

Speaking of which, tomorrow is transfers, and since my training is over, Elder Richards is leaving. Which is sad because we've had some good moments together, and it's weird that he's going to be gone. He was a good trainer and a good friend. It's going to be weird to have a new companion, also I'm going to have to lead the area which is gonna be scary, but I'll make it (probably after much prayers).
 
We also sent one the first missionary from San Ramon off Yesterday. Her name is Sister Desare, and she's going to the Iloilo Mission, which is super exciting. And her farewell was certainly a highlight of the week.
 
So a not a whole lot happened this week, but I'll certainly have a lot to talk about next week, so I'll have more to report then.
 
All is Well Elder Bills

As you saw, we finally had some investigators come to church which is awesome! Finally after working our tails off, we finally have some progress in our area. It's been exhausting though, I'm so tired. I also have a ton changes tomorrow. A new companion, and I have to lead the area, so there we'll have to see how all of that goes.  

What a amazing spiritual week this has been. We have couple of investigators full on track for baptism, and many potential and new people. I also finished the Book of Mormon. What a miraculous and truly inspiring book. I can't believe anybody could read it and not believe it. It's shame that my young Immature self decided to not read it until now(I've "completed" it before, but that was with a ton of skimming, and not truly reading it). I've also been reading the teaching of President Hinckley, and the Doctrine an Covenants. It's interesting to see the revelations on paper talked about in the Saints book(it was 30 pesos at manila, I couldn't resist), It makes everything make so much more sense. And Gordon B. Hinckly what a miraculous man, and his understanding of the simple truths of the gospel, it's been blowing me away. What a beautiful, and yet simple gospel we have a knowledge of, and how privileged we are to have it. 

 

I'm so proud of Silas! That was so awesome to see him passing the Sacrament, He's growing up so fast! It's so crazy. I'm glad to hear all the kids are doing well to, sounds like there all doing pretty great. 

 

So i'm doing great, and still giving it everything I've got(even though i'm dead tired). I'll tell you how next week goes, and who my new companion is.
