Hey all! This week was good, but a little interesting. I don't remember a ton of what happened and I'm also kind of running out of time, so I'll be quick!
President Warne left on Tuesday, and we're all sad to see him go. I'll definitely be visiting him when I get back, he was an amazing mission president and a great friend of all of us. The same day three hours earlier President Harris and his wife arrived! I don't know much about how the office is or how the mission is changing yet but I'm assuming that the whole place is running like a chicken with its head cut off. But we actually got to meet him! The assistants called us Saturday night and told us that President Harris and the assistants would be coming to attend church in our branch in Hospital for their first Sunday. My face = (O_O) Hahahaha I was terrified. Especially because I was going to be giving the Sunday School class. I obviously had no reason to be terrified, but I was terrified anyway because that's just how I am haha. It was great though! He's extremely kind and loving, and even though I loved President Warne I was always a little scared of him haha but President Harris just makes everybody around him feel comfortable. We took a picture with him afterward and hopefully I can send it to you!
Felipe is doing well too! He came to church again this week and we had an awesome lesson with him. Elder Santini came for a division and we taught him, and Elder Santini in the course of the lesson asked him the first two questions to the baptismal interview and asked him how he knew, and Felipe bore his testimony on how he came to know that God is real and the church is true, and a big part of that was the fact that we arrived at his door 10 minutes after he decided to change his life. He told us that he's a completely different person now than he was before, that he's found a job, and that he's finally getting his life in order and it's all because of God that it was possible. So I was happy, very very happy. He is the coolest ever. I probably won't be able to see his baptism, but I'll see pictures! And I'll be extremely happy for him when the time comes. I've never seen such a transformation in all my mission, and I'm extremely grateful that I got to participate in his. He was completely atheist when I met him, but almost like King Lamoni he just believed us and started acting in faith, and has developed a sincere testimony.
So that's about all that happened actually, because the rest of the week not much happened. We weren't able to see any of the other investigators, I'm not really sure why, but we should be seeing more today.
And I'm already out of time! I'll have to write more next week, I love you all! Have a great week!
