Well an exciting, eventful, and fruitful
week! What else can you expect in the greatest mission in the entire
world!? Now as far as transfers... Last night we got a call from the
Assistants. They exclaimed that the Lord has spoken and someone will be
being transferred out of the beautiful land of Opa-Locka.. Elder Harris
[aka Hot Boy Paris] will be staying and I [aka Lo Key Dawg] will be
transferring and training a new missionary straight from the MTC. I was
completely in shock, but am extremely excited for what the Lord has in
store for me. I know I will learn lessons these next three months that
the Lord needs me to learn. And I am willing to give the Lord everything
I have and go 'All Out'! This morning I was actually listening to Elder
Dube's talk from this past General Conference and something he said
stood out to me, "The
Lord through His servants calls us to serve in various callings, which
we accept with total commitment. When a release has been extended and a
call in a different assignment has been issued, we joyfully accept it,
knowing, as our forebearers knew, that in the service of the Lord, it is
not where you serve but how!" We must be willing to listen to the voice
of the Lord always!
This past week we were able to see some huge
miracles. One of the biggest ones that I wanna share with ya'll happened
on Saturday. Elder Harris and myself were going around talking with all
of our investigators getting them pumped for church the next day. We
went to see one investigator and unfortunately she wasn't home.. But as
we were walking away we contacted this guy sitting outside his house.
Before the blessing he talked about how he just got out of jail and
really wants to now reach his full potential. After the blessing he said
'I feel goosebumps man.', and he came to church the very next day even
after he only got two hours of sleep that night. After church he came up
to us and exclaimed how excited he is for his baptism in a week. He is
getting baptized this Sunday.
Well that's all I got for this week. I am excited
for huge miracles to share next week. I promise there will be amazing
miracles, so be ready!
With Love,
Elder Pond
