Dear Family
It was good to hear that you all had a good week! I hope that everything goes well this week! Well, Elder West and I had a good week this week! We worked hard and had a good time. Unfortunately, I am getting transferred today so that is kind of unfortunate but that’s what happens, I am needed elsewhere. So I am getting transferred really far away…. I am getting transferred to the next ward over. Haha The ward that borders our west boundary is the ward I am moving to, it is the Louisville ward! Haha
So this week Elder West and I had some wonderful experiences. We fasted that we would find a new investigator and in order to do our part we knocked on some doors like we have been and tried to see a bunch of people that said they might be interested in us coming back whether it was recently or from a long time ago. Nothing was really happening, but one day after we got out of an appointment we got a call from the Spanish speaking Elders. They had been tracting in our area, in a Spanish speaking part and a man let them in, they taught him about The Restoration and set up a return appointment. Since this man speaks English they turned him over to us! We were so excited! Our prayers and fasting had been answered! The return appointment is this week and since I am leaving I won’t be able to teach him but it is wonderful to truly see that Heavenly Father is still a God of miracles. Also this week, a friend of a youth in our ward has been coming to church lately and is always there when we have dinner with his friend’s family, and he is reading the Book of Mormon like we asked him too and this last Wednesday he agreed to take the missionary lessons! It was way cool!
Also this week we helped an older couple move some things into storage. We recruited the missionaries from Coal Creek to help us. They biked to our house & then from there we all biked there. They have a lot of belongings, but with all of our help it didn’t take too long. The crazy thing was that we had to move a two part dresser/cabinet piece. It came it two parts and the only way to take it to the room they wanted was to take it out a back door that dropped off because it didn’t have steps, over a small fence, around the front, up the stairs through the front door and through a couple rooms. It was pretty intense, this piece of furniture was not small, but it felt good to help because they wouldn’t have been able to do it by themselves. The couple was really grateful for the help and it felt good to be of a help to them.
Other than that we didn’t have too much else going on this week. Yesterday I said goodbye to a of couple families and packed which took a while. Oh by the way, I am sending a couple of packages home, or I already did and they are on their way. I realized I have a lot of luggage and I needed to downsize, so I sent home some possessions that I haven’t really used. Also in one of the boxes there should be a memory card in a little envelope that I usually use to send it home in. Well I hope that you all have a great week! I hope that everything goes well! I love you all very much! I will talk to you in a week!
Love
Elder Lassen
Miracle of the week: I have learned once again that the Lord hears our prayers and answers them. I have also learned the power of fasting, and the blessings that can come from it.
Have a good one! LOVE YOU!
