Week 32

Floods & Miracles!

This week has been crazy! We had like 6 days non-stop raining. There's a stream named Opequon creek. It was 10 feet higher than normal, it flooded over the bridges and actually cut off people from the other side. It was crazy we got some pictures of it coming back from the VA hospital.

This week we had exchanges. Me and Elder Pollard stayed in Martinsburg. We had to do service for brother Brown at two in the afternoon. And so we didn't want to be late, so we rode bikes. It was blazing hot with tons of humidity. So wet we were both just dying. But it was a fun day!

Wednesday we has this big ward family history kickoff thing, so we took Joey and taught him about family history. He thought it was super awesome that he could be baptized for his deceased brother one day!

Friday we had a lesson with Joey about the Atonement and helped him understand how it applies to him. He committed to keep the word of wisdom. So far so good! He's on track to be baptized June 2nd. So fingers crossed! 

Saturday we had an awesome lesson with Keith and Bing Volker. They said they would pray about a date to be baptized and to give them 2 weeks! So that's awesome! 

Sunday we had 4 investigators at church, the most I've had! Then right after church our investigator Ben Gunn texted us and said to set a date for in two weeks to be baptized so we'll hopefully have a double baptism in two weeks!

We had call-outs and transfer news is that I'm staying in Martinsburg for another 5 weeks and Elder Jacobson is leaving. So my new companion is going to be Elder Merkley. 

That's all for this week! Hope everyone had a good week as well! Love y'all and talk to ya next week!
