Hello hello hello!
I hope you all had an amazing week! This week, Elder Talbot and I got
to help out with a funeral for a member of the ward's son that passed
away a week earlier. We ushered and helped set chairs, tables, etc. up
and take them down afterwards. There were a ton of people there and
like none of them were members. The speakers, who were all Ward
members did an amazing job explaining the Plan of Salvation and
providing a very hopeful message to an otherwise grim event. I'm so
grateful for the knowledge we have that because of a loving Heavenly
Father and His Son Jesus Christ, that after we depart this life we
will be resurrected to perfect bodies free of error or impairment and
have to opportunity to live with our families forever!
We also had Zone Conference on Thursday, which took up pretty much the
whole day (it even went later than expected, so we unfortunately
missed an appointment with Omosayin because of it...). A lot of the
things during it served a reminder for how far I have really come as
far as my ability to teach and talk to people since I got out here
about 21 months ago. So that's cool!
Friday morning, we were able to meet with Christiana, who was a
referral that Hirzel and I contacted a week or so ago on exchanges,
and teach her the Restoration. She is also super awesome and had
already begun reading the Book of Mormon before we even started
teaching her (she was contacted by some missionaries on the street who
gave her a copy) so we really look forward visiting with her further!
After that, we went to the Renberg's to do more service. Since Sister
Renberg is having a baby soon, they needed help with moving a ton of
stuff around and renovating their upstairs, which was fun. I always
enjoy being able to do service as a missionary!
Those are basically all of the major highlights for the week. I love
you all and hope you all have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Elder Sam Williams
