Dear Friends and Family,
What a week it has been! So I found out this past Saturday that I will be getting transferred this Wednesday to York, Pennsylvania! The thing is that I will be assigned to do English work, which I am a little sad about but that's ok! The Lord has something big instore for me! And it won't be that bad, I have a spanish speaking companion and my new District Leader is Dominican so it will be all good!
But this past week we definitely went out with a bang!!!!!!!
So for my whole time here in Hagerstown we have been working with this returning member! He has been off and on and has been super super depressed at times! And I don't know what happen, because about a year ago he was an absolute legend here in Hagerstown. But for this whole week we started having contact with him and for the first time in 5 months I saw that light in his eyes. I could literally see a difference in his countance, he was like a completely different person! The little things do make a difference!
Also our dearly beloved Rocker!!! I can't say enough about him! So about 2 weeks ago, he left to work in Deleware and we lost contact with him, but this week we came back and he called him up and he looked really really bad. He has covid now and is just looking really sad and dark! But we called him a couple of days and then members bought groceries for him and the light was back in his eyes! It was absolutely amazing to see!!! And this past week we had a lesson with a member and rocker and the members laid down the law and Rocker said that as soon as he leaves the quarantine, he will meet in the church and choose a date!!!
And to end the week we had a beautiful baptism! Our friend Miriam was able to be baptized and her brother was able to baptize her! He received the preisthood right before and then was able to baptize his sister! What a beautiful day it was and a great way to end my time in this area!!
I love you and, and don't forget to obey the commandments, you'll have the LIGHT!
