We began with a BANG! So this week we started with an amazing baptism of PATRICIA!!! We were so blessed to see her conversion. At the end of her baptism, she wanted to bear her testimony and she did. It was such a powerful testimony and brought tears to my eyes. It was a blessing for me to see her take this amazing step.
I also had an amazing opportunity to go do service with President Guthrie at the Houston Astros Urban Youth Academy. We ran a clinic out there that was amazing. It was so fun. We did long toss, got to do some PFP's (pitcher fielding practice) and helped the kids with their mechanics. It was so fun! And I had an amazing time using a talent I have been blessed with to go help bless other lives. The Vice President of Business Operations, Marcel Braithwaite of the Astros is a member of the church and has a great relationship with President Guthrie. It was such a huge blessing. I also got to send Dad a phone number of a kid's father that needed some advice on summer ball. It was so cool being able to help out people using baseball.
Elder Handy is a great companion.
President Guthrie FaceTimed Brad Penny on the way back home. hahahaha (Brad Penny played pro ball for many years.)
I hear Ben and the family are at Vandy, and I hope it all is going well. I remember my time there and it was so amazing. I am so blessed to be able to go there after my mission and play. They are the best.
Oh and.... I GOT TRANSFERRED. I am now in Missouri City!! Fun fact, it is the hometown of Travis Scott!! Apparently it is about to Pop! It is the place where all missionaries want to be. I am so excited. My companion is Elder Wilkinson. He is an AMAZING missionary, but this is his last transfer. He is the Zone Leader. I am the District Leader. The other Zone Leader here is Elder Ledezma, my mission dad, and he's our neighbor now. Really weird they aren't companions, but whatever, I am not complaining. Wilkinson is amazing! So now I switched zones. Currently in the Houston South zone. I am so excited that the Lord sent me here. I know this is where I am supposed to be.
I just want to leave a little spiritual thought. John 13:1,8, and 13-17. Jesus is the perfect example of charity, and his perfect love never fails. Even though no one washed his feet, it didn't matter, he went and washed his apostles feet. Go wash some others feet (metaphorically) even though they maybe didn’t wash yours.
I will not be able to respond very well today, since I am unpacking and doing a lot trying to get accustomed to the new area. But I want you all to know I love you all so much!! I hope you all have a great time, especially my family at Vandy!! Love them so much!!
