Transferências e Divisões

 Hi!

This week we had exchanges, zone conference, AND we found out about transfers. We'll start with exchanges. I got to stay in my area with my zone leader Elder Baggaley. He is a super cool guy and we had a blast. It was kinda nice to be out of a trio for a day. Trios are fun, but kinda hard when trying to teach people. Zone conference was great as well. It was our first full-zone in-person conference since quarantine!  Saturday night, we found out that Elder Wilson will be leaving, and Elder Dixon and I will be getting a new third companion, Elder Harris. It'll be good because Elder Harris speaks Portuguese, so we can all practice more.

Other than the things mentioned above, things went pretty slow. All of our appointments fell through, except 2 lessons with Debbie, and a couple member lessons. In our lesson with Debbie, we tried to mark a baptismal date, but she still isn't ready. We are trying to help her realize that revelation only comes after much prayer, scripture study, and church attendance. But, it's hard to help her keep commitments. Since we didn't have many lessons this week, it gave us a lot of time to make videos. We have an awesome one coming out tonight, so go check it out on my Facebook!

Spiritual thought: 2 Nephi 20:15 "Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!"

We are like tools in the hands of God. The good we have and do isn't because of us, but because of God. Tools can't do anything without someone using them. We shouldn't boast of ourselves, but thank God for all we have.

Things I like: The leaves are starting to change and it is getting colder. It's finally become more like fall!

Things I hate: Sprickets (Cave Crickets). I keep finding them all over my house and they're nasty
