This week has been absolutely amazing!! Until this morning when we got our bikes stolen.... We left them over night hidden behind some bushes right outside of the front doors of the church... We are very sad.
The transfer call was last night and we found out Elder Johnson is leaving the area to a place not to far from here, Orange Park Florida. My new comp will be Elder Huxford who I actually know pretty good already! When I was in Gainesville he would come up from Ocala and play some intense basketball with us every P-day. We almost ALWAYS played against each other because we are so evenly matched. He's a very chill easy going guy but has a strong desire to work hard which is great. I already know I'm going to love 'em!
Saturday, I had the opportunity to baptize Chelsie Alvarado. She's is quite the character. We have really bonded during this time of her learning the gospel. She has such a great love for the Lord and loves learning more about the restored gospel. The baptismal service was so spiritual. Her parents who we are hoping to start teach were there to support and they have seen such a change for good from Chelsie. Before they knew she was getting baptized, they asked what in the world have you been up to in the last little while. You seem so much happier! Mike and Amy Alvarado also attended church this Sunday for the first time to support Chelsie and see her become confirmed in the church and receive the Holy Ghost.
We are still teaching Tiffany and her fiance Johnny Brown. She has accepted a baptismal date for March 1, but we are thinking that it will get moved back a bit because they have to plan a wedding before hand! Tiffany told me, I'm ready to get baptized, let's do it tomorrow! haha But we told her we have more to teach her first and she has to come to church three weeks in a row. She also needs to get married! More details on that date to come. Her little girl Corinthian is the sweetest little thing. She's only 6 but she wants to get baptized real soon too.
We have done a load of service this week. We have done everything from landscaping to cleaning carpets! It's always great to help people in need.
Well that's about it for this week. Now that I don't have a bike or car lets hope I can walk off a couple pounds or so. These pants are getting tight! haha Maybe its just another blessing in disguise I dont know.
Love,
Elder Greenlaw
Elder Greenlaw, Sister Chelsie Alvarado, and Elder Johnson
Baptism Day!
It's good to be the king!
