Hey to all!!
So on transfers I thought that I would be training...I never thought I was the one to be trained haha. Elder Morales is the new missionary and he is just incredible!! A very natural teacher oh and PS, he is from Mexico, so our Spanish outreach will be enhanced un poco. I am so excited to be his trainer! He is very go get-em. He loves to get after it and he basically just goes and loves to work! I have tried to whip him into shape, but it didn't take more than a day for him to desire to really be involved in the work. He is really into planning, allowing us the opportunity to really teach to the needs of that specific investigator! I love it! We will continue to be prayerful, obedient and hard working.
This Halloween was especially special! Sister Eunice Jones was baptized! It was quite the turnout and it really was special! She bore her testimony and it was perfect! I really liked it! What a special opportunity. And I feel awful because I didn't take one picture haha. We were of course a little late to our own baptism with it all being hectic in the Spanish branch and the font took forever but alas they had just barely started as we arrived and then after I couldn't take pictures because Daniel Reyes and Jacob Fisher were getting the Melchizedek Priesthood and I was asked to be apart of the circle. It was awesome but yeah, we will take much more at her home.
Also, Elder Ashton Jessup completed his two year service as a full-time missionary. He was one of the best missionaries ever. He was basically my example and it truly was so great to serve right next to him! Gosh I learned so much from him and I could have never asked for such a good friend. He is basically awesome!
Right now we are working with...
Glenn Slaughter- He is a machine and is getting baptized on Sunday! He has a heart of pure gold and just wants to be happy. I have never taught anyone who better understands the doctrines of Christ. He truly is a sponge, almost robot-like, he applies the things the Spirit downloads on his hard drive! He is incredible, he told us the other day that he doesn't want to just be a member who goes to church on Sunday, but he wants to be an active member. I told him those are the people we like to baptize haha.
Alfredo Ramirez is a little Spanish boy who is nine and his father asked us to teach him. So we are and it is fun, but I can't speak Spanish that a kid would best understand... I am still working on that haha, thank goodness for Elder Morales.
Also keep in your prayers, Ruben Martinez and Manuel Lopez.
-Elder Walter
