Transfers

This week was pretty sweet, the weather has been cooling down it went from 107 to 89 pretty quick so it’s felt really good outside. I will be staying here in okc for another transfer and will be getting a new comp. Elder quinones, he is an English elder but knows Spanish so I’m excited.

Monday p-day was fun, after p-day we got to visit with Maria who is progressing tons the lesson was soo peaceful and the spirit was so strong. Not much else happened. 

Tuesday the hermanas went to the doctor because one of them has been really sick, they came back and she has mono really bad. They said she will have to stay inside for a month, or might have to go home. We got to give her a priesthood blessing, they are always soo powerful. We then got to visit the Perez family who has an 8 year old son who we were teaching so he can get baptized. The lesson was so hard, I struggled so hard to teach simple principals to this kid and my comp didn’t help me at all. I felt so bad I felt like I had failed the little kid and I felt like the parents didn’t want me to teach him again. It was really hard for me but, the lord was there to comfort me.

Wednesday- I felt my first earthquake during studies on Wednesday. My whole desk shook really hard it was weird, at first I wasn’t sure if I was crazy or if I had just felt an earthquake. All the other missionaries felt it too. We got to visit with a couple people, and then we went on exchanges with the AP's which was soo fun. I got to be with elder maughan from Cali. He played basketball for byui before the mission way cool kid. We taught a couple lesson which was awesome.

Thursday- we had a really good day so today we had a couple of good lessons which was fun and got to see our investigators who we didn’t see last week. so after dinner we decided we would go to bladdimirs and talk to his mom and see if he could be baptized, we got there and it was like oh man here it come so we started and talking and asked if he could be baptized and she goes "yeah" we were like well wow ok, bladdimir had been telling us she had said no to him. Bladdimir is getting baptized on Saturday sooo stoked for him.

Friday- not much happened today sadly we tried seeing lots of people but no one was home, we got to visit Kevin again and I was able to teach a little better, he will be getting baptized on Tuesday.

Saturday- We were on exchanges all day, I got a new elder and we went out and talked to people, it was hard I was struggling to talk to the people and it wasn’t normal for me. I usually can talk and know what to say, but I just couldn’t talk it was soo hard.

Sunday- I love Sundays sooo much, they are so peaceful and I love being able to go to church.

Sorry not much to write about this week. Next week we will have more.

Love,

Elder Barrett
