Hey things are going good here as usual!
This week has been kind of crazy but really good. Firstly I had the
wonderful opportunity to get in the water with William on
Saturday. He told me he just felt really great when we were
changing. His mom and two sisters came to the baptism too. He's a really
good hearted guy.
We had to push {the other} baptism back. We really want him to get solid
on the Word of Wisdom first. He told us he picked up cigarettes again
so we're really working with him to help him gain a desire to stop. It's
such a horrible vice that Satan uses. We're praying for him and helping
him in any way we can to stop. Later today we're going to fix up his
car with pictures of Jesus and his family to help him stop because when
he's driving is when he's tempted most. I have high hopes for him and he
will probably make the change by December.
On the brighter side L this 9 year old girl we've been teaching
is getting baptized which I'm really excited about! That will go down
this Friday. Her mom's been working on every Saturday so we just decided
to go for Friday and she was okay with it. We're seeing them tomorrow
and I'm super excited to get everything squared away for that!
My training is coming to a close. Technically it ended today
actually. But transfers are coming up on Wednesday. How that works, if
you're getting transferred, you get a call on Saturday night and they
tell you to have your bags ready and meet at the church building in Irmo
the following Wednesday. However, if you are serving in leadership
President Holm will call you during the day on Saturday and let you know
and ask if you're willing to accept. So that leads me to the
craziest/most exciting part of my week. Saturday we got a call from
president and I'll be training a new missionary. I'm pretty nervous but
I'm very excited. Elder Memmott's off to be a zone leader somewhere so
I'll be here still in Gaston. Just thinking about it gets me shaking a
little bit haha. I know things will work out the way they're meant to
and I'm excited to serve my Heavenly Father in this capacity.
That's pretty much it for the week so I'll move onto questions.
Thanks again for the warm clothes. It's getting unseasonably cold here so they came just in time.
My shoes are doing just fine. The heel guards are wearing off of
them but they're still looking great and getting the job done.....
I won't actually get to go with him to the temple but he'll still
go next week. I'm hoping our zone will hit our goal soon but I won't be
horribly depressed if I don't get to go the temple until next year. The
Lord needs me where I'm at.
Everything's going well with you accessing the pictures I send to
Abra right? There aren't any places to print photos in my area so we
don't have much time to go out and print them so I hope this is working
out well.
So I'm officially an Uncle now? That's pretty freaking cool. I'd
love to see some pictures of this little guy when you get the chance.
It's always good to hear that Solomon and Amanda are doing well. Let me
know what school he ends up going to!
Happy Thanksgiving to y'all too! It's crept up so fast I can't even
believe it's this week. It'll be fun taking the new guy to all these
cool members who are willing to feed us. We'll probably just end up
stocking up our fridge because so many people want to give us their
leftovers haha. I love you guys! I hope everything is still going well
back home and don't get trunky dad! No matter where you're at in your
service you're right in the middle of it :P
Love,
Elder Nair
