Howdy,
This week was a really good week filled with miracles and great experiences. Now that Elder Boren has been here for a little bit, we've figured each other out better, and everything is going great!! We've taught so many great lessons where the spirit has been super strong. Elder Boren is also really good at Spanish and has helped me so much to get better at speaking the language. I'm really glad he came here because it turns out my Spanish was straight garbage, so it's been nice to have someone to practice with and to give me tips on how to improve.
I know I shouldn't choose favorites with people we are teaching, but I really love this guy named Leon. Leon was given a life jail sentence a long time ago and was introduced to the Book of Mormon by one of his cellmates. He gets one thirty-minute phone call a week, and he uses it to call me. :) Leon is a special assignment from President Ensign given to Elder Robinson and passed on to me, so I will be teaching him over the phone for my whole mission. It is impossible not to love Leon, and I'm so grateful I know him.. Hopefully, there will be a miracle that allows him to get baptized someday.
It was snowing pretty hard Wednesday morning, so I had to beg my companions to let us go out to exercise in the morning. They finally agreed to let me go for two miles around the park, and it was so fun! It also allowed me to convince them to let me take some longer runs at the end of the week so I could still hit twenty miles. Running is so fun, even if it just laps around the park. One day when we were playing basketball I made a three-over Elder Leavitt and some guy driving by in his car rolled down his window and yelled "(Dang) you're a baller!" That was pretty cool.
We are so blessed. We have seen so many miracles in Lawrenceburg this week. We held a special ward fast this Sunday for missionary work, and we saw many miracles. We have found so many amazing new people to teach, and currently have 4 people on date for baptism (two more coming soon)!! I know that this is the Lord's work, and I have seen His hand in so many ways this week!!
Merry Christmas!! Keep Striving Everybody!!
