Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you guys doing? How's your holiday season going? Well, I am doing
great here in the mission field - Sharing the Gospel and helping others
receive the Gospel. It was a pretty crazy week with Elder Romrell
finishing his mission and Transfers. I did not get transferred, it was a
mix up that I was on the transfer text. My new companion is Elder
Severe, he is from Wyoming and has been out for 3 months. We are short
on missionaries this transfer so we lost a companionship in our district
and combined their wards with ours. So for this transfer Elder Severe
and myself cover 3 wards in Buckeye 1st, Sundance, and Estria Hills
Wards - so we are quite busy and have to really plan our days
effectively because we only have 1200 miles for the month. Elder Severe
and his last companion covered Estria Hills and Palo Verde but the
other companionship in our district took Palo Verde Ward. There was a bit
of confusion of which wards we were going to cover but we figured it
out. Well despite our challenges we had cover an additional ward. We
had a great week doing missionary work. We had a wonderful lesson with
Allie Delgado on the Book of Mormon and going over the Articles of
Faith. She felt the spirit so strongly that she asked us if she could
invite her mother to meet with us and we said sure. It is so great to
see people feel the spirit and have a burning desire to share the Gospel
with others so they can have the joy and happiness that comes from the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also had a great lesson with the Hornberger's
kids on remembering the true meaning of Christmas - celebrating the
Birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. On Friday, we had a great Christmas
party for Sundance Ward, Allie, the Hornberger's, and a few less actives
came and had a great time. Then on Saturday we had a Christmas party
for Estria Hill, which had delicious food and a wonderful Christmas
program. Sunday was a long day for us covering 3 wards we had to go to
the Eason building for Estria Hills sacrament at 8:30 am then we drive
to the Sundance Building for Sundance sacrament at 10 am for
gospel principles then all 3 meetings for Buckeye 1st ward at 12 pm.
Great Christmas talks with Allie, the Hornberger's kids came to church
for this was the 1st time since I have been here, and Katrina Miller in
Estria Hills. We also met with some new investigators Jared and Darlene
which we got to know them and answer their questions about the church.
The weather is starting to get cold. It rained for a few days this
past week which was nice because we needed it. Well that was my week in
the mission field. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season and
sharing the great gift, our Heavenly Father gave us which is his only
begotten son - Jesus Christ that atoned for each and everyone one of us
so as we show our love to him and live his Gospel so we can have Eternal
life. I love and miss you all. You are all in my prayers.
Take Care Love,
Elder Lance Cabral
