Whatta week! My new area is amazing! Not as good as Canandaigua... but it is great! We cover the northern half of Niagara Falls and the surrounding towns and villages! And the work is booming here! Elder Mechem is my new companion. He’s been here for 3 months. He is awesome! He’s from Las Vegas. We both have the desire to work hard and be obedient! It’s been a great week and will be a great transfer!
First things first, I’ll tell ya about the people we are teaching here. We are teaching a Jamaican man named Gladston. He came to church for the first time yesterday and loved it! He really does have the desire to change his life and follow Christ. Super exciting. We are also teaching a lady named Jeannie. The elders found her the week before I got here and she is SOLID. She’s read up through Jacob in the Book of Mormon and has already received a witness that it’s true. The story she told us was life changing. Here’s the story, Jeannie has a daughter that passed away when she was 5 from a tragic accident. Before her daughter passed away they would go on hikes all the time and Jeannie would be a couple steps in front of Emily cheering her on saying “your almost there! You can make it!” Thursday night Jeannie had a dream of her daughter in front of her, and her daughter was cheering her on. Saying “mom your almost there! You can do it!” Jeanie woke up from the dream knowing her daughter was cheering her on to be baptized. Jeannie asked us if she could be baptized on April 15th. She came to church on Sunday and loved it! Those are the 2 most progressing people we are working with. We found 10 new investigators this week and we are excited to see how it turns out with them!
Cool experience from tracting this week. We were knocking doors in a well off neighborhood. No one was answering and we were deciding if we should leave or not and we decided to knock on a couple more doors and Paul answered the door. Paul is really seeking Christ in his life right now and invited us in, we taught him the restoration and invited him to be baptized unto Christ’s church and he gladly said yes! He is on date for baptism for May 6th. Super exciting! God is a god of miracles.
Also as zone leaders we are trying and implementing the new technology before everyone else. So we got smart phones this week! It is super weird and I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. Wish me luck!
I love this area! We’ve got a mix of about everything. And from the top of the hill just outside of Lewiston you have a beautiful view of Toronto, Canada! Pretty awesome. I appreciate all the love and support from all of you! Hope you have a blessed week!
Love,
Elder Judy
