District Leader in a place called Beaver!!! It is right above
Pittsburgh so looks like I'm heading back! My new companions name is
Elder Gatrell he just got done being trained so he is fresh to mission
life and I will be his "Mom" or follow up trainer! So I'm pumped! Sad
to be leaving Harrisburg! It is such a great ward full of great people
and the area has so much potential! But I have been called somewhere
else and I will go and do.
So my last week in Harrisburg we finished strong. We were busy all
week because we had to do 2 exchanges with district leaders and we had
to attend 3 district meetings all in one week. So me and Cooper were
barley together working in Harrisburg. But it was a fun week. I went
on Exchanges in Lebanon with Elder Payne and we taught tons of people
about the new Easter video and then we had a bomb dinner with this
awesome family. And the entire time we were working it was pouring on
us! I got out just to back up the car for 2 seconds and got back in
completely drenched! Hahaha I also got splashed by a big wave by a car
but I just was laughing so hard it didn't even phase me! Haha
I also had an exchange here in Harrisburg with Elder Williamson came
here. It was fun we were able to get in contact with some
investigators which was very good and helped us out a lot. We also had
to take the walk elders to go get their bikes fixed and that took
almost all night I tried working on them but I'm still a beginner so
we took them to the shop we volunteer at and they fixed them up.
Attending 3 district meetings was fun because they were all centered
around General conference. And so we got to hear everyone in our zones
thoughts and feeling and impressions about Conference and it was cool
to see how we all geared the same thing but everyone got something
different out of it. It was a great experience to be able to learn
from everyone in the zone.
So I said by to Sister Campbell she is a less-active that missionaries
were working with for a while and she was reactivated when I got here
so we still continued to work with her. And so since she started
coming back to church she started telling her family about it. She's
older and all her kids have grown up but not all of them are members.
So she started talking to her daughter in North Carolina about how she
started going back to church and after our lessons with her she would
call her daughter and tell her about them. Well long story short a
couple weeks ago she got a call and her daughter told her she was
going to be baptized. She had been taking the missionary lessons and
got interested from the conversations she had with her mom and she is
now baptized and is now making a better life in the church for her and
her family. Sister Campbell absolutely loves sharing the gospel now
after that experience so she invited one of her friends from next door
to sit in on one of our lessons. She is the greatest! And it was so
cool to see how helping a less-active rediscover their testimony can
change lots of others lives. Another cool thing is Sister Campbell
found the missionaries and was baptized in a place called Beaver!
Hahaha she was so excited to hear that that is were I am going.
Well I hope you all had a great week I love and miss you all! Below
are some of the best people from the Harrisburg Ward!
My new address is: 423 Sharon Road Apt. 3 Beaver, PA 15009
