Alma 26:12

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

Report from Tacoma 11/19/2018

This week was super fun! Being in a companionship of four keeps things really interesting. We also live with our Zone Leaders, so six teenage boys living together really keep things fun.  Our latest game is to lock each other in the bathroom by putting a chair in front of the door. The current record is just over a minute. We keep life interesting.

Oftentimes when we tract, we tract in English, because the majority of people that live here, speak English. It makes it a little bit frustrating, because when we find someone that is actually interested, we have to refer them to the English Elders. We also don't get referrals very often, and, if we do, usually it's something weird. I kid you not, we got a referral once that said, 'house smelled like beans.' Or another classic is 'couldn't understand, probably Spanish.' Anywho, this week we actually got a really solid referral from a member of the English ward. We also got dinner out of it too, which was a huge blessing.

We were able to meet with our new referral, as well as the English Member, who also speaks Spanish. The referral and his girlfriend both had a lot of really great questions and we think that they have some really good potential. 

This week, being the week of Thanksgiving, I just would like to share a few things that I am grateful for. I am grateful for my companions. They're awesome. They are always joking and making missionary work fun. I'm grateful for great friends and family back home. I'm grateful for all the support that everyone has given me over the years. During this Thanksgiving season, I challenge you guys to also share something that you're grateful for.
