Hey Everyone!
Transfers are this week, but nothing is happening with us. So we'll be staying in Yankton, which I'm so excited about because missionary work is so good right now!
Last time I mentioned some referrals we'd gotten. We got to know them some more and they both came to church! One of them is from South Sudan and he is so prepared for baptism. There are just a couple things we will go over with him, but he is doing amazing. The other one is from New York and he is awesome. He's had a really rough past, but wants to learn, and we went and played basketball with him today!
We're also working with a lady that knows the church is true and wants to get baptized, we're just waiting for her care home to get off of quarantine so she can start coming back to church! Every time we call her she's been reading the Book of Mormon just waiting for us to call and teach her more. Teaching over phone or video call really does work! The Spirit can definitely be present through these lessons as well. God provides ways for his work to move forward!
We also had a mission tour this week! We had zoom meetings every day with Elder Weatherford Clayton and different groups of missionaries. It was so good and I learned so much about how to be a more effective missionary and to use technology to progress the work even more.
I think that's about all for the week! If you haven't seen yesterday's face to face with Elder and Sister Rasband you should totally watch it. I absolutely loved it! They had some amazing insights for this whole covid thing and how we need to live.
I love you all! Have a great week!
