I hope everyone has had a great week! I just have to say
that I feel so blessed to have such wonderful family members and friends.
This past week Elder Jessee and I picked up two new
investigators, and even set a baptismal date with them! Looking back, I can see
how the Spirit helped us teach that lesson on the Restoration. It is awesome!
On Thursday my companion got called by our mission president to work in the
mission office, and was told he had two hours to pack and leave the apartment.
Now that was something we were not expecting to come! So for the rest of last
week I was in a trio with two elders from another ward in our zone. Saturday
was the big day; the day when transfer calls came. I wasn't surprised when my
district leader told me that I was going to be staying in the Walnut Park Ward,
but I'm happy I'm staying. The ward is great, and missionary work is picking up
in our area! One thing I've learned this transfer is that obedience brings
blessings, but exact obedience brings MIRACLES!!
It rained a lot at the beginning of last week, there were
huge puddles all along the streets (the drainage system is terrible out here
haha)! Thankfully we rode our bikes that day, so our shoes and feet didn't get
soaked like the last big storm that came through here. We have been teaching
the Plan of Salvation a lot last week, and it gives me great comfort knowing I
can see my dear little brother Joaquin again.
Today is the first day of a new transfer, and I got a new
companion, Elder Morton from Vernal, Utah! I have a feeling this transfer is
going to be great!
I can promise you all that if you take a few minutes every
day to pray and study the scriptures, you will see a difference in your
everyday life. I have seen how studying the gospel and praying every day has
changed me for the better. Not only has my knowledge of the Gospel increased,
but I have also come closer to my Heavenly Father, as well as my Savior and
Redeemer, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the Atonement, and for the
knowledge of our purpose here on earth that we have as members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Well, you all have a great week! Thanks again for all the
letters and emails that you send to me! Adios!
-Elder Ruiz
