What an Amazing Week!

March 3, 2008

What an amazing week! At transfers our district had a couple of new Elders. Elder Skidmore is coming from Boise, Idaho via the MTC and Elder Cardinet is coming from Falls Lake. He is from Northern California and is a very hard worker and is really easy to get along with. I knew him when he was district leader for the Durham District. Our whole district has had a fun Preparation day together so far, shopping, emailing and exercising.

We taught Zodi again, she’s a UNC student working on her dissertation for epidemiology. She is very fun and loves talking with us, we’re trying to show her how to exercise faith, she has more of a ‘seeing is believing’ mind frame.

When we came back from talking to students at UNC a couple construction workers waved at us. At first I thought they knew us, but they started asking us about which church we go to. The cool part was that it was all in Spanish, and I was able to talk with them about the Gospel. Hector and Jorge asked if I believed in the Bible and people like Pablo and Juan, Paul and John. I said that I did and I also believed in other people who believed in Christ and lived in the Americas whose words are recorded in the Book of Mormon. We also talked about the Restoration of Christ’s Gospel. It was so amazing! I’ve got to practice my Spanish gospel terms because I doubt “apostalos’ is a real word.

I’m running out of time and I don’t want to rush important stuff so I’ll talk about Angela’s baptism next week. In short, it was terrific!!

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support!

I hope you are all feeling the joy the Gospel can bring into our lives!

Love, Elder Walters
