"What it is yo?''
How is everyone doing?! From the updates it sounds
like summer is already romping with fun. Devily, I hope that the RVing
trip is going great! For some reason, every time I picture you guys in the RV I
think of “We're The Millers”.... hahah. S/O to Jensen, Evie and Haddie for
graduating Pre-School. I can say that coming from the High School Pre-School
Dropouts, that we are proud of you guys. And I hope that all the other planned
vacations coming up soon end up being epic.
As for me, Elder Nelson and I are working like Burton
Guster and Shawn Spencer trying to get Munhava B popping. Lots of long days,
walking and trying to find some new families to teach. But, we are teaching
some pretty great ones already!
Jose and Lucia are making a better comeback story than Rocky IV. Elder Nelson and I ended up dropping them at the start of
this transfer because they hadn't been coming to church and stopped
progressing. But... the past two weeks they have come to church AND yesterday
they were early which is practically unheard of. We are also teaching
the family of Albino and Mazinha. Albino was contacted by Elder Nelson in his
first area but we never received his number. The last week Elder Griffeth
and I were together he approached us in the market and asked if we had some
time to talk about Joseph Smith. I fastened up my tie and Elder Griffeth
slicked back his already slicked hair cause we thought this dude wanted to
rumble but all he asked was if the first vision actually happened and we told
him YES it did and he responded with, ''How do I become a member of this
Church?'' So Elder Nelson and I have started teaching their family. They are
already making sacrifices to be married and baptized. On Saturday, we did a
division with some members in our ward and Elder Nelson visited a new family
and they came the next day to church. Always the dopest dope when that happens.
And last but not least we have Orlando and Graciete. They were a reference from
a now reactivated family in our ward that we have been teaching. Orlando,
during a visit this week, expressed some doubts that he had about baptism and
how life after would be. Sketchishly, we taught them the Law of Chastity and it
could have not gone better. They accepted to start preparing to get married and
he said he is not sure when, but he is certain that they will be baptized.
Before leaving that visit he congratulated us saying that many other
missionaries from other churches have tried talking to him before and never
before had he opened the door for them let alone his heart. He said that he has
felt this Gospel make changes in his life through praying and trying to read
the Book of Mormon.
I am so grateful that this Gospel is a Gospel of
changes. I am so thankful for the chance I have every day, to see this Gospel
bless and change the lives of others for the better. I know that this Gospel
has changed my life and that because of that change nothing but happiness and
blessings have instinctively flocked like the salmon of Capristrano hahaha.
Love and miss you all so much! Have a great week!
Always remember that this church true like ''Paul Pierce, from the 3 boi!''
Love,
Elder Chipman
There isn't pictures this week. The computer Elder Chipman was at this week wasn't letting him access to his photos. So, hopefully there will be lots of pictures for next week's post.
