Staying in High Desert

The week has been really good. We definitely saw a lot of miracles. Crystil was able to go to the temple visitors center this week with Anthony, so that was really good for them. We had a lesson this week with Crystil’s neighbor, Ashley. We did it at the church and had a church tour with them. It was really cool because Crystil, who has only been a member for about three weeks, was bearing a lot of testimony and helped out a lot. We showed a little video about the Relief society and Crystil said, “Oh it’s much better than that!” So it was really good experience for Ashley. She was really excited to come to church on Sunday, but then Sunday morning she messaged us saying that she had to help her mom with some car problems. We messaged her back saying that she could come late if she could make it. We got a text with about 5 minutes left in Gospel Principles saying that she was in the hallway! She went to relief society and had an awesome time! She is doing really well and is progressing towards baptism in May. 

We had a lesson this week that we were bringing a Priest with us to and when we were walking towards the mans apartment, we saw another guy and started talking to him. He invited us to come upstairs. He recently started attending another church because he is trying to get his life on track. We were able to teach him the Restoration really briefly and use the Book of Mormon and he said we could come back Wednesday. It was cool too because right as we were starting to talk about modern prophets, I saw that on their entertainment center they had a quote and the author of the quote was James E Faust! So we told him that he was a modern Apostle. So that was cool!

Elder Holt and I will both be staying here in High Desert for a third transfer. We are excited to be able to keep working together and to hopefully keep seeing more miracles. Elder Patterson is staying in Redmond, so I will be able to see him at the Zone Conference next month before he goes home. I’m excited for that. Next month our Zone Conference will be a mission tour with Elder Whiting of the 70. That will be good.
