My new companion is awesome. Elder Holden came in guns ablazin'. We have been putting in WORK. We have a pretty active area, but a lot of stuff is goin down and stopping people from progressing.
We started off this week by going to the mid trainers meeting. President Love knows so much. He was talking and he had us to turn a scripture that talked about how awesome Moroni was and how if every man was like him, the very powers of hell would shake and tremble. Then the next verse says he was a man like Ammon, the son of Mosiah. Well, if you look in Mosiah 27 or 28, somewhere around there, it said the sons of Mosiah were among the most vilest of sinners. How did a man go from being that, to being a man like Moroni? The answer is pretty simple: the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I just pointing that out really shows the true power and effect of what Our Savior did for us.
The next day we went to the "sketchy" part of our area, downtown Excelsior. It's a really cool area; I love it down there, but there's tons of drugs and all sorts of stuff. It's pretty rough I guess, but it isn't that bad. I don't think my companion enjoyed it though. We got 3 return appointments out of tracting there. It was awesome and an answer to our prayers.
We also got to play ball, which was a dream come true. Just street ballin' with some homies downtown. We didn't stay long because of the music and some guys showed up smokin' something strong, but it was a good experience and we met some cool people.
Yesterday we were at church from 9 am to 4 pm. Being a bishop would be pretty rough. Made me more thankful for them and all they do.
