This week was a really good one a lot happened and we made some big progress with our investigators Jorge and Mikey!!
First Tuesday. Tuesday was a really weird day we talked to this one guy looking for his less-active mom and he stops mid sentence and goes do either of you have any neck or back pain? We both said no. Then he asked if we have any knee pain. I said I use to because of basketball but that's been over a year ago so the pain just slowly went away with time. Then we started talking about faith and what not then he stops again and goes pointing at my knees and says, in the holy name of Jesus Christ I command that your knee be healed, all the ligaments tendons, cartilage be restored and to be strong. He stopped and looked at me and asked did you feel any warmth or heat in your knee? Or did you feel and tingling? So I told him NOPE. My knee is in shipshape. We had a good talk about the priesthood and how it was restored to the church tho!
After that we are walking back to the car and this homeless black dude rode past us and stopped came back and said are y'all cwackaz? I said excuse me? Are y'all cwackaz? I laughed and said yep yep we are crackers sir. Then my companion says no no elder Clark are we quakers? Ohhhhh no sir we aren't quakers we are mormons then he rode away...
now to our investigators! Jorge has made some big changes in his life and is ready to change for God and Jesus Christ! We is preparing to be baptized on Sunday! Mikey walked from his house to mutual! WALKED so we had a decent lesson with him about the restoration so progress with him too!!
Thursday we had interviews with President Haynie. What. A. Man. Then we had weekly planning and as we are beginning we get a call, elder Thomson answers it and they person asked for elder Talmage.. he said this is elder Thomson. He wanted elder talmage tho so I got the phone and it turned out it was Buckys dad Bubba!!! He said let go to breakfast tomorrow at the best breakfast place in LA! So we said let's do it!!!
So on Saturday we went to the griddle cafe on sunset. Not was Bubba right it's the best breakfast place in LA! It was super nice to see him and talk to him he gave us some advice but he mostly had us laughing 😂. What a man.
Then on Sunday of course got to skype the fam. It was awesome to see all of the! I love them so much!! They are the best!
Also got a call that there has been a midcycle transfer... so elder Thomson is leaving today:( and my new companion will be elder Lawton.
This last week I have been reading the end of 1st Nephi and it talks about how his brothers are 'past feeling' I thought about that for a while. Then it talks about when they are on the boat and God literally had to almost kill them to get them to realize they need to humble themselves. It's so important that we don't reach this point. Passed feeling feeling the Holy Ghost. We need to constantly be checking our lives and make sure the things we are doing are making us worthy for that constant companion we need. Of course God is going to give us ways so we can have the Holy Ghost with us. He was also given us boundaries to where if we step outside of these boundaries we risk loosing it, of muffling the still small voice of it. The Holy Ghost is real. It can always be our constant companion and comforter if we are following the commandments of God and working to strengthen it in our lives. I have many experiences out here when I do realize that was the Holy Ghost and I do not want to loose this precious privilege!
Love you all! Have a good week!
