What's good everyone!
Still loving it here in Woodland Hills/Calabasas California! Well first off here is the good news about the week.
I wanted to share the miracle that happened! The last couple of weeks I've been talking about our one friend named Mike who's been taught by missionaries since the beginning of this year. He's a funny dude and he loves the church. He comes to Elders Quorum & Sunday School every week. He knows more members than we do probably.
We had a lesson with him and our Bishop this last week and invited him to be baptized... and he said yes! He picked November 13th for his date which is funny because that's Friday the 13th Haha. (which we didn't think he knew when he picked it) He said he wanted to push all the "evil" away and do something GOOD that day. If you all could pray for Mike that he'll be able to prepare for his baptism that would be great!
Here's the sad news... we got transfer calls yesterday and I'm... staying here in Woodland Hills (which isn't bad at all cause I love this place) but my comp Elder Owens is transferring to the other side of the mission! So that's sad I'll miss him but he's a beast and he'll kill it. My new comp is a brand new missionary. It's going to be fun to train another new missionary back to back. I'm going to meet him tomorrow so excited for that!
I'm so happy I get to stay in this area for a little longer, help this part of the Lord's vineyard, and progress in the work!
Yesterday we had our first ever testimony meeting over Zoom! It was super spiritual. Brother Blackstone (the returning member we've been working with) came to our virtual church for the first time and it was amazing! Right when he got on he introduced himself and the ward members welcomed him back so well. He called us after and said that was one of the best feelings he's had in a long time. He was actually the first person to bear his testimony. It was a simple but a powerful one!
Mike bore his testimony too and it was great. We thought it was so cool that the two people we're constantly working with were able to bear a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and see the progress they've made.
I'm so grateful for my mission and the people I've met and the example of Christlike love they've showed me! I'm excited for this upcoming transfer😁🤙🏼
Hope everyone has a great week!
-Elder Espiritu
