Well well it here we are again!! It sure looked like you had a fabulous time in Island Park, man I love that place. Probably the one of the things I have missed the most from being on the mission is camping. Grandpa and Grandma Barrus really instilled that love for the outdoors in me at a really young age and I have missed being able to sleep in the wild! haha even though I usually got scared and convinced myself that there was a bear outside my tent every single night, usually it was just Dad snoring!! Nah but thats great thats great that allot of the family was able to come I am sure it was great to see them all. Well my week was amazing! So so much stuff happened that I don't know even where to start.
First off we have the wonderful privilege of calling all of the new missionaries before they enter into the MTC and ask them how their preparations are going, its a pretty fun experience. Most of them are so excited and nervous that they dont know what to say when we tell them that we are calling from ABQ. President has asked us to ask them a series of questions that include worthiness, study skills and if they have a girlfriend. The girlfriend question is always the funniest on to ask, most of the time they respond timidly. It has been pretty exciting though as we are getting 25 new missionaries into the mission! Definitely another influx. With that it is also our responsibility to find out which areas we are going to be opening throughout the mission, it looks like we will be opening 5 new areas this transfer! :)
Well miracles galor this week as we taught 8 member presents and found 3 new investigators which is pretty much unknown of in Nob Hill, but it looks like it is going to be a new normal hopefully! We have seen incredible miracles with those that we are teaching, one of which is with Rudy who I told you about last week! He is doing great and still has a definite desire to be baptized. We set another date with a guy named Daniel Cruz who is promising as well. Went to the temple with an investigator named Ilya and had an amazing experience there, I will send pics later. Absolute miracle with our investigator named Alex. He has serious health problems and has been in the hospital for weeks now. He passed away for about 10 min and when they revived him he said that he had to tell us something. He told us that he needed to get baptized immediately, and that he knows everything is true now. He is still in the hospital but as soon as he is healthy which hopefully is soon, then we will baptize him. The work is going great!! :)
Love you tons
Elder Barrus
