Week 7

Hey everyone!

This past week has been amazing! It seems like everything is finally starting to fall into place. I'm starting to really understand how to fulfill my purpose, as well as what it means to be a good missionary.

I'll recount the story of one of this week's great miracles. Elder Frigetto and I had just finished visiting some potential investigators, and we decided to call someone we had an appointment with that night. When we called, they said they'd completely forgotten, and were on their way out of town to visit family. These members had never fallen through before, so we hadn't planned a backup. We were going to have to figure out on the fly what we would do with the rest of the night.
Just then, we get a call from an old potential Elder Frigetto had met a month or so ago. He and his companion had offered service, and she said she'd call if she ever needed anything. But everyone says that, and they never call. But she did! We spent the evening helping them in their yard and getting to know their family better. I have high hopes for this family; they will make incredible members one day!

Brothers and sisters, God is real. He is are loving Heavenly Father, and He knows each one of us. He hears our prayers, and answers them in His own time and in His own way. I testify that as we demonstrate faith and hope, we will see those answers in our lives.

As always, thank you all so much for your prayers on my behalf and on behalf of my fellow laborers in God's Kingdom!

Sincerely,
Elder Huston

week 6

Hey everyone!

This past week has been great! I got to go on my first exchange, which is where you trade companions with more experienced missionaries so you can learn stuff from them. I got to go with Elder Walker to the University of Kentucky campus, which was really great! Most of the people we talk to in our area are 45+, and almost none of them are less than 25. So it was a really different experience talking to people my own age! They seem to be far more open to the opportunities offered by the Gospel. I hope I get the chance to serve in that area some day.

We have appointments with people that we hope will become progressing investigators this week, so please pray for us and them! Again, I appreciate the prayers you offer. I do my best to return in kind.

God bless you all!

Sincerely,
Elder Huston
