Hi
Well I don’t know what to talk about
this week so I guess ill tell you about my new companion!
So my new companions name Is Elder
Drake Watkins from Provo Utah. He is a great guy and he knows more about the
gospel and the scriptures than 97% of everyone I know. In the past four days I
have already learned so much from him it is crazy. But, I love it and I love
learning so it is really fun. In the four days that we have been together we
have already found 3 new investigators and taught over 20 lessons! He is a hard
worker and Loves what he does, for some reason I have just gotten lucky with my
last two companions to get to really good missionaries.
So we had another cool experience at
the Spanish AA meetings that we have been attending. Saturday night they pointed
at us and asked us if we wanted to get up and talk again So for some reason I
volunteered right away and went up and this time I talked about the addiction
recovery program/booklet that the church has and how it goes hand in hand with
The AA beliefs and traditions. Then bore my testimony about the love of God and
Jesus Christ. By the time I sat down I looked up at the clock and saw that
somehow I had talked for 15 minutes again all in Spanish. Then Elder Watkins
went up and did a similar type thing and It was really cool because afterwards
we had a few of the people come up to us and we talked for a good while about
the program the church has and they asked if we could get them some and build
some more solid relationships in the Spanish community in this area. Elder
Watkins and I have a goal to really push for working with more Spanish this
transfer, which is great because I love learning the language and I love the
people.
Tim’s baptism is coming up in less
than two weeks and I am super excited for him. He has come so far since we
tracted into him in September. He has a different light about him and he is
happier with his life even though the trials in his life have gotten
harder.
Doug and Jessica are awesome. We
worked with the ward in getting them assigned home teachers and Doug and
Jessica are super excited about it! They have come to church the last 13 weeks
and are pretty much members of the ward minus being baptized. That will happen
in a few months probably after I am gone. But, I have loved being able to teach
them.
Also, the other night I jumped up to
grab the pull up bar that we have in our apartment and it came of and hit me on
my nose and cut it open, lol. But, luckily us missionaries are experts medics
and had super glue and were able to super glue it shut instead of getting
stitches ha-ha. Good times.
Well, Being a missionary is hard but
it is also the greatest thing at the same time. I love all of the funny, weird,
cool and amazing experiences that I have had. I love the Gospel and the knowledge
and blessings it brings. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and for our
Savior Jesus Christ and his Atonement.
The Church is true and the book is
blue!
Love you all!
Elder Frandsen
