Fishers of Men: Hope is Found in the Plan of Salvation

Well, I got transferred. I am going to miss Smiths Falls. There are a lot of good people there that really adopted me into their families. I am in Orangeville now with Elder Aspery. Elder Shepherd is staying in Schmitty with his MTC companion. Elder Aspery is from Brisbane, Australia, he has been out for a transfer less than me, he likes going to the beach, he dislocated his shoulder three weeks ago, and he is 20. We get along really well and he is pretty cool. Orangeville is a cool area. I think the population is around 30,000. But everything around it is just farms. And all the roads outside of the town are straight as an arrow. It is pretty weird.

When we first got to Orangeville we had lunch with a family. The Zumbachs are super cool. They have 7 daughters or something around there. One of the daughters is preparing for a mission so the family is super missionary focused and they have some friends that might be interested. It was really cool though to see how much they all love the gospel.

We got a media referral for a Book of Mormon so that's cool.

A funny storyish I guess. We had dinner with this family and they have four crazy boys. They were almost literally jumping off the walls. We got to the end of the dinner and after we shared a message they asked one of their sons to say the prayer. The mom asked him to pray for the missionaries to travel safe and to pray for the Prophet. The little kid said the prayer, and the only things he said in the prayer was the two things his mom asked him to say. It was pretty funny. The mom just kind of shrugged and said at least he does what he is told. It was really funny.

Friday we went to go see an investigator named Sergio. He is a super nice guy with a family. He has some medical issues and is trying to stay positive and happy. We taught him the plan of salvation and he really liked it. I love how much hope the plan of salvation can bring people. Just knowing that everything will be okay in the end is amazing.

Not too much else happened, we lost a little bit of time with transfers.
