My Best 2yrs.: Focus on Prayer!

Another transfer over and Elder Biesinger and I will be both staying here in Heatherwilde/Heritage Trail/Merrilltown wards. Last Monday we had Yacktman pday. The Yacktmans are a family that live in the zone and every now and then they will have the missionaries in the Austin Zone come over and feed us and let us play different things around the house. We played soccer, ping pong, baseball on their baseball field next to their house, and tennis. It was a super fun p-day.

On Friday we had the opportunity to go down to San Antonio and have a council with President Polley. He is an inspired leader and I'am grateful for his guidance and direction. He focused a lot on prayer and unity and Sister Polley talked about meekness. I have been able to study prayer and gain a greater understanding of how to pray and the importance of prayer. I hope that as I teach prayer to the investigators that I will be able to show them the importance of asking and receiving answer from our Heavenly Father. What a great blessing it is that we can have a two way communication with God.

Zachary Call is still on date for the 17th of this month. Him and his mother have been meeting with us twice a week and have been coming to church for the last two weeks now. I have never taught a 9 year old kid or someone close to his age that is so excited to learn and has great answers. He is also very reverent during lessons and it has been amazing to see how close him and his mom have become since she has been coming back to church after many many years as he is preparing for baptism. The gospel truly does unite our families together as one. I have been able to feel how close children are to God and it is a blessing that I have the opportunity to teach Zachary and also the young kids in the Marquez home. The Marquez are also doing great and Brother Marquez had another meeting with bishop and we will hopefully be able to have him baptize his 9 year old son Jaden who we have been teaching. It should be this month or next that Brother Maquez will be able to baptize Jaden.

Mowed my first lawn since I left Utah. It was for an old man that just got out of the hospital. He was very nice but wasn't to receptive. I'm sure that he will accept the gospel at another time.
