My study area Recent converts the Rodriguez REYNALDO! Mission prep Oh, my goodness. We almost killed someone this week. Like I am scarred for life. I will be forever anxious while visiting nursing homes... Sooooo yeah! We've been asked to take this old lady the sacrament each Sunday so we do and she is awesome! It's sister Lazo. The one I always have laugh attacks with. She is great and wise and all but one day we go to give her the sacrament and I must have filled the tiny cup of water up too much and she choked on it and turned purple and started seizing and oh my goodness. Luckily everything went well and she's not dead and she probably forgot that happened but umm I seriously get so freaked out when we go there. It's sketchy! It was ironic to because Elder Wadsworth before we left was like "oh you're going to give someone the bread of LIFE?" and then she almost died! Ahhhh.
But things get better!!! Reynaldo is getting baptized on Saturday! The zone leaders interviewed him on Saturday and he's good to go! We are so excited for him and on Sunday we talked about pioneers and everything and he said he felt the spirit so strong he was trying not to cry! The spirit is real! The Gospel is true! God loves us all as his children! Oh, and I took pictures this week! Good thing I am sooooo the opposite of photogenic 📸😬 ELDER LUSK IS KILLIN IT! Awwww yeah haha. His attitude has changed like crazy and I can actually SEE a difference in his countenance, I can hear the difference in his speech, he is as optimistic as ever and boy it is awesome! He's on top of stuff and he is a straight up powerhouse. I am sick. As sick as a sick dog. For the first time in 8 months!!! 😖 ruined my streak. It socks! I'll get better though. I think it's because I ran out of smoothie supplies and so I've just been eating cereal for breakfast. Thank heavens it's like 60 degrees outside we are going to start running again once I get better!!! So, we found out that our ward mission leader works in the empire state building which is pretty dang cool! On the 56th floor or something like that and has a corner office. We are going to make him let us go there someday. It'll be pretty dang cool! We've been teaching members about spiritual gifts and stuff because it’s really captivating lesson and gets everyone super involved. We found out that one of the members has the craziest gift of discernment or prophecy or one thing because he can look at you and tell you your exact feelings for the day. It's insane. Our ward mission leader Brother Daines is a pretty monotone zero feeling kind of guy and when we went over there for dinner this week we shared the message about spiritual gifts and developing them to help others and endure to the end and he actually complimented us on the message we shared so it was so cool! The Daines have 6 kids and they have triplets and they all still live at home except their oldest. So, it's crazy they're all in high school. We've been taking the boys out with us on exchanges! It's great! So yeah! That pretty much my week! I love you all! Keep Reynaldo in your prayers! Elder Murray
