Last Time Around- Week 96

 

Not By Bread Alone...by Michael Dudash



Hey Everyone!!

Not a TON has happened (okay a little bit) but here I am, on my last transfer! In 5 weeks I'm headed back home.
It's really crazy to think that all this has happened so fast, but here it is.
Transfers happened on tuesday, and for my last transfer I actually came back up here to the North!!! I'm in Robstown right now, and get this:
IM WITH ELDER CANNEGIETER AGAIN!!
I've never even heard of someone going back with a missionary that they trained, but President let it happen haha.
We've had a ton of fun.
He actually got covid a few weeks ago, so as a precaution I didnt actually get here until this last Friday, but it's still been a bit of a roller coaster.

I loved all the people in my last area. In particular, my family of recent converts that I helped baptize. I miss them a lot.
I'm so happy for the opportunity I had to be able to help them progress on the covenant path. I love seeing the changes that come as people humble themselves and accept the gospel.

I'm so happy for the chance I had to come on this mission. I've learned a lot of important things that I know I never wouldve learned anywhere else.
I've seen SO much, both good and bad, things to make me happy and things to make me cry; all of it has helped me mold and progress.
Last week I helped console a 60+ year old father after I had helped hold a bucket for his alcoholic son who was throwing up. I gave him a hug as he just sat there thanking me and crying.
I'm not sure when I grew up to that point.
It kind of just happened.
But I'm glad that I've made it to where I am now, because I'm proud of who I am at this point.

I love you all!!
I'll be giving brief updates these last few weeks.
Be safe
Have fun
See you soon:)

How a Baptismal Interview changed into a 3 Day Exchange: A short novel- Week 48 (2/10/2020)

Sinton Sunset Hi everyone! This week was CRAZY! Tuesday. We had transfers! I'm staying (woot) with Elder De Leon here in Sinton! That day our car battery also died in the morning so we had to go down to Corpus Christi to get a new battery. It took a ton of time but it was pretty funny. We ended the night with the family home evening we always have, and we decided to have everyone watch Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration. It's an awesome movie! I think it's interesting when people say we "worship" Joseph Smith. Do they "worship" Saint Paul? Saint Peter? No, no one worships a prophet. Just kidding some people do but it's not actually our religion lol, which some people really dont seem to understand. Wednesday. Overall, not bad. We were able to see some of the Presidential Impeachment with an investigator, as well as go out to dinner with another. We taught some lessons, some people, and we ended up having dinner with someone t...

Haircuts are cool except they're not- Week 12 (5/27/19)

I'm writing this right after I've gotten a haircut, and it feels like there are bugs all over me (because of the hairs) and it's making me mistype so much haha! I hope it's just hair!! :))))))) (Sooooo sick of the bugs here haha) But hello everyone! I'll keep this one short, this week something happened to my email and it wont show me the emails I got past a certain time this week, so I'll have to respond to everyone personally next week, sorry!!! But yes what to say, We set two new baptismal dates this week, so hopefully the two people (Junior and Ana) will actually keep their commitments and wont fizzle out!!! We're praying for them, and they're both really really cool people. They've been really interested in the things we've been teaching, which is always nice. I'm always happy when I can teach a lesson, I just love the way it makes sense to people who have felt lost in their religion or who just have questions that they cant fin...

"What did you have for dinner? You better not say salad. I hate that word. If you say it, I will ignore you."- Week 45 (1/13/2020)

Lehi’s Dream, by Steven Lloyd Neal Hi all! Short email this week. I had my first family home evening up here in Sinton! We had like triple the attendance of our usual sacrament meetings which blew my mind. We also played family feud with a member family after we had dinner, that was a blast. Am I intelligent? I like to think so. But when the question is, "name a precious gem or stone." and i blurt out, "Garnet." even I must doubt my own ability at least a little bit. We set ANOTHER BD this week, although we had to move the one from last week back. :( The good news is that we should have 2 baptisms this Saturday. Also, we finally committed one of the boys here to serve! We got him to set a date, text the bishop, and everything. It felt really nice. Not too much else. We had some funny moments, some tiring ones, everything in between! I've decided to read the entire book of Mormon at least once every month this year. We'll see how I do. So f...
