Well!
I'm here in Kingsburg with Elder Vargas my new companion/trainee! Ha,
he's not really my trainee! He knows the area super good and he's got a
bunch of member trust and is fluent in Spanish! That only leaves me to
train him on how to teach and how to be exactly obedient! Ha, training
Elder Vargas. He's basically training me since I'm new to the area and
still learning Spanish! It's awesome though! I don't have some bum
missionary who is trunky and vegetating to the end! Elder Vargas wants to
work and that is just fine with me! We are going to baptize the
multitudes here in Kingsburg!
Clarification.
We will baptize multitudes in Parlier! Kingsburg is a bunch of white
people that aren't ready for the goodness of the gospel and Parlier is the gold
at the end of the rainbow! The light at the end of the tunnel! The
diamond in the rough! There are so many people there ready to listen to
the gospel! It's a small town of all of the field workers! They all
live humble lives, but they are super ready to receive the fullness of the
gospel in their lives! Most of our work is there so we are looking for an
apartment out there so we can move out there and live amongst the
beleivers! Haha don't get me wrong Kingsburg is good and there are people
ready to hear the gospel here too so we spend 2 days a week there.
Parlier is where it is at though!!
Looks like my area is
a bunch of fields. Right now it just looks like a bunch of dead wood all
stood up in rows cause it's been so cold, but I'm sure come spring it's gonna
be booming! Can't wait!
Investigators!
We have around 16 right now! AWESOME! Modesto kinda struggled with
having investigators, but this area is boooooming! It's awesome! Ha
and 14 of them are in Parlier! That place will be translated by the time
me and Elder Vargas are finished with it! Parlier!!! Anyways, 2 we
are focusing on are Brianda and Angel. Brianda has Muscular Dystrophy and
is dying. It's really sad but she is super strong! It's amazing!
She's enjoying every single moment she has left and she says she is ready for
baptism, but is shy about being dunked in the water because more than 1 person
will have to do the baptism. So we are working on that. She'll
yield to the enticing of the spirit! Angel is the son of a less active
member! He's always hated the fact that he was baptized as a baby. He
never has felt like that is something that you should do and so when the
missionaries stopped by to teach his dad the less active, he asked them about
that and he liked what he heard and has been taking the lessons ever
since! Last night, we went over and taught him. What's awesome is
he invited his girlfriend over to listen in too! We taught the plan of
salvation and challenged both to baptism for the 25th of this month!
Angel said he's wanted that for a while now and that it's about time we
asked! That is the greatest answer to a baptismal challenge I've had
yet! His girlfriend said that she would like to keep learning before she
makes a decision, so we told her we'd be happy to oblige!! The work is
AWESOME and is moving forward every second of every day!
Hey. I love you
all. Jesus Christ loves you all. Heavenly Father loves you
all. Remember that always! No matter what. NO MATTER WHAT..... they will always love you
and you always have them to turn to for strength, peace, love, and hope!
Happy New Year!
Love yall!
Elder Frame
