Elder Tristin Tidwell - Texas Houston Mission: Week 75 - Mini Missionary...Old cars and more!

Hey guys!
Well, things are going great here in H10! Fabian is doing great and is so ready for his baptism!! Going over the past week… Tuesday we had family history training and then lunch at the B’s and had hamburgers but man it was a rough day after that haha. For dinner we looked up the address of this family we were going to have dinner with and when we go there we found that they didn't live there so we took over a half an hour trying to find them which took forever! :p Then we had English class that night. Wednesday we had mutual slash I gave a baptismal interview which I always feel the spirit so strong in those interviews… it's just something about seeing someone who's getting ready to change their life and know of the blessings that'll come from it. Thursday was weekly planning and then we had some lessons. Friday was when things got good, I had a great district meeting this week and I finally started to get the hang of it all! I feel like my district is really seeing me as a leader and really understands that I'm here to help them find success and to help them find the peace in this journey they are taking. We then got to see L, he's married to a member and has the sickest car collection I've ever seen! He's got a ton of cars from the early 1900s and I got to crank start a 1913 Buick! I've always wanted to do that!! We also found out he has a huge thing for time, he said, “I wonder how long it'll take me in the bible to find something to ponder on?” He said, “It took me three words in the beginning,” and it's really stuck with him. That night we got our mini missionary, Ricky, which the guy is so awesome! He's got such a great spirit to him and has such a great desire to help people find the truth. Saturday, we did thrift shop service and also helped this family move out of the English ward, which is hard, there a super cool family! We then visited the D's and really tried to help him see the blessings of going to church! That night we saw A and the guy is great he's an investigator we use to teach and all of a sudden came back and was like I want to hear more! He's been progressing great! Sunday was probably one of my favorite days we had 5 investigators come to church this week! First time that's ever happened! We also got to see one of the sisters’ investigators get baptized, it was such a special thing the spirit was so strong in the room where it happened! I'm so thankful for all the many blessing my Heavenly Father has given me, look for the small moments and treasure them.

Love Elder Tidwell
