Well, where to start. Elder Cottle is being transferred on Tuesday so
I will be getting a new companion. Also, Elder Mansell, my district
leader is leaving and Elder Mask, a spanish Elder. So we will be
getting a whole new district. Really really sad that Elder Cottle is
leaving, one of my favorite companions so far. But I am excited for
the adventures me and my new companion will have here in South Philly.
This week was a crazy busy one here. We had a lot of appointments that
actually happened too!
To start off, we were able to see Moe this week. The first time he was
pretty busy and distracted so we left him with the Restoration
Pamphlet to read through. The next day at our appointment he just
rattled off all these things he loved from what he read. He said he
agreed with it on everything and he even went really in depth about
the priesthood and how other churches don't really talk about it and
now it makes sense as to why they don't. Moe loves to monologue, so
the lesson was much longer than it could have been, but in the end he
accepted a baptismal date for October 16th!
We were also able to follow up with the VanHorns this week, even
though we couldn't have a lesson. Lisa has gone from 4+ cups of coffee
a day to 1 in the mornings! She is so awesome and they are keeping
their commitments.
Our dinner calendar is like 95% full for the month as well, so that is
an awesome change from when I first got here. Yesterday the Jones
family had us over for dinner. It was really really awesome. They have
2 boys, a 3 year old and a 9 month old. They also used to live in Lehi
and Highland so that was a fun connection. Anyway, it was fun and she
is a great cook and made some awesome peach cobbler. Let’s just say it
has been a pretty good week despite Elder Cottle leaving.
Well I hope you all have a great week! Love ya!
Love,
Elder Parker
