June 12, 2017 - Transfers

June 12, 2017

So today we had transfers. I received a companion from Peru. His name is Elder Vasquez. He is really cool. We like a lot of the same things and I’m excited to be working with him.

I am now going to be the District Leader here. It makes me a little nervous but I’m also excited. I love all the Elders that are here in the district, and I hope that I can be qualified enough to do what the Lord needs me to in this time. 

This week, we had stake conference and we had been inviting all the people that we could!  The thing is, here we have to make a plan that is very specific in how they are going to go to church! We had tried with some people and it just seemed like the harder we tried, the more people wouldn’t commit to anything. We offered to pass by and go with them but they didn’t want to go with us. They wanted to go with the members and so they were going to go with the members.  We made some plans and the day came and we were there in the church and no one was coming. The meeting started and nobody came. We were feeling pretty sad, and I just remembered that I had prayed. In my prayer I had asked that we could have some of our investigators there in the church, even if it was only one.  And I thought, “Well, it’s not that Heavenly Father didn’t hear my prayer,” and right then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I saw that it was Pablo, one of our investigators. He came with his dad and we were so happy to see them there. It was a strength to my testimony that sometimes we have to maintain our faith even when things don’t seem to go well.

The rest of this week was good. There was a moment also when I really didn’t know what the Lord wanted us to do. All of the appointments had fallen through and, well, we were walking around and I thought, “Well, let’s do some contacting.” We knocked on the first door, and a lady appears with a big smile on her face. That alone helped me feel better, because it doesn’t happen that often. Then she let us come in and have a lesson. I felt blessed to have had that experience.

The reality of everything is that these things are small things, but they are daily miracles that sometimes we overlook. It’s the Lord’s hand in our lives and at this point I will never be able to deny that I have a Heavenly Father that loves me, personally and every one of us, and hears our prayers, and also that everyone can feel of the perfect love that our Savior has for us.

Love you all. Thank you for your support and love,

Elder Wolf

Also if you could, tell the Petersons that I got the letters and I loved them!
