Dear Family and Friends,
What a blessed week, however I must say it had some tough parts but the results were totally worth all of it.
I don't think I've ever had so many appointments cancel on me in my whole entire mission. Day after day we would get phone calls of people canceling their appointments and that can be hard. However we had a great hope that the lord was going to bless us so we just kept working harder.
By the way I got a new companion Elder Hunt from Lehi Utah just like Elder Mansfield. Elder Hunt is a good missionary and relaxed which I do enjoy because sometimes i can overwhelm myself with all of the things we have to do. Last night we were crazy busy trying to fill out our stake correlation reports and week ending reports and so it was a little crazy.
FINALLY Bridget Rojas came to church and when i say finally I don't mean it in a mad was but in a very grateful way. Finally after all the excuses I really think she sort of ran out of them hahaha. Just kidding, it was great though because it was fast and testimony meeting and the power of the testimonies was seriously almost overwhelming. Ilove It. Her daughter Isabella also came to church again for like the seventh time. We hope to be able to set a baptismal date with her soon here so she can get progressing towards that day.
Well on Sunday we had an amazing fireside on the life of jesus Christ that I headed up. It was a lot of fun to do and it gave us some more opportunity to get more involved with the members and get them all excited about missionary work. Well this last week we had three of our speakers President Darrington, Bishop Wilson, and Bishop Jackson all cancel on us oh boy that was fun. But the best part about it was that the backup speakers did amazing and probably even better than our original speakers that was a huge blessing.
I thank you all for your prayers I truly have seen the miracles of god out here and I will never forget how merciful he really is.
Love Elder Judd
