Hey, crazy week. Hope you y'all had a great one too. Here's my highlights:
Ali - he is Islamic but had talked with missionaries in the past. He is really open to learning more and even about coming to some services so that is cool.
Miles - saw him again before transfers and he's really doing well and really progressing. It's super awesome. Please pray for him to reach his goal!
Transfer - today was the day. The Zone leaders decided to stick us all in a minivan which was a mistake because we had 6 people, 2 with luggage, and a bike inside a minivan. We made it and it was so fun talking with everyone. I said bye to Albright and met my new companion... Elder Fuluvaka!!
It was so crazy. For all of you who don't know, I was with him during my training in the trio. But he's coming with me to Beverly Park and I'm super excited.
Layna - she was our first lesson together and she loved Elder Fuluvaka. She was very invested in the lesson and talked with us and asked a question and she really liked it. She texted us later and said she wanted to feed us next week, which means a lot so that was cool.
Conrad's - member family we visited and their 7 yr old kept talking about plants vs zombies. Then he was looking at my tag so I let him wear it and he said, "Before I wanted to grow up to be an astronaut or a firefighter, but now I want to be a Missionary!" This kid made my day
Khimani - Saturday I got a text from Khimani to help her move her parents. So we went and helped and set up a lesson with her the next day. We brought the Sisters from another building and she expressed that she really wants to be baptized still but wants to go to another building. Cue the Sisters. So we will still be meeting with her and hopefully she can have a good experience in her new ward.
Spiritual thought: I wanted to talk about Gideon from the book of Judges. For all of you keeping up with Come Follow Me, you should know the story. But Gideon was chosen to fight the Midianites and free the Isrealites. In the scriptures it describes the army of the Midianites to be multitudes and Gideon only has 32 thousand men.
But God said that that was too many and so with some tests they sent most of them home until only 300 were left. And with that 300 Gideon was able to free the Isrealites because God was with him.
I know that if we follow Christ that we can have that same strength with us to help us in our struggles and hard times. I love this Gospel and I love all of you. I hope each one of you knows that and will turn to the Lord to get that strength, even if you're doing good because then it'll make your foundation stronger. If you don't know what to do, pray and ask God and listen, and if you are still not sure send me an email 
I miss y'all and I hope you're all doing great. Keep pushing forward. And until next week...pics
