I got some transfer news this week that I'll be getting transferred to Metairie, Louisiana on Wednesday. That means I will have been in 6 different areas the last 6 transfers of my mission. All I know is that I am either part of the problem or the solution.
The cool thing is that I'll be 10 minutes from New Orleans, where I started my mission. I left New Orleans almost a years ago, so i guess it's about time I go back.
I could've sworn I sent an email titled "A Cajun Christmas" but I don't know what happened to it. Either way. I had a great Christmas and I hope yall did too.
Anyway story time:
Elder Weatherston and I hurry out of church to get to a lesson with our man James. Elder W and I met him the first couple days we were in Oak Grove and hadn't had much success with getting in contact with him. We knew he didn't didn't on Sundays and that the football games started at noon so we has to hurry.
We knock on his door 3x, call him, go to his side door and knock and we get nothing. We see his truck in the driveway and start walking away when he opens the door and gladly let's us in.
We sit down and one of the first things he says is "My Christmas was terrible. On Christmas day my auntie passed away and my nephew was found dead in his apartment". We just sit there and listen to him to a while and then share our testimony of the Atonement and Resurrection of our Savior and His Wonderful Plan of Salvation. Afterwards he just sits there and is like "I wasn't gonna let y'all in at first, but I'm glad that I did". We had a wonderful oppurtunity to point out that he was feeling the Holy Spirit and what he was learning was of God. He's a stud. Pray for him.
Have a blessed one
