So, Transfers Happened

So this week I got transferred to a new area. This new area is still in the same district that I was in before, so I kind of know the area. I know the area because I have been on splits here and met some of the members through that. If you want to look up the area on google the name of the area is Alaverdi. It is a super small area and it one of the smallest areas in Armenia. We have about 60 members in the area and about 25 people come to church every week. One thing that is cool is that I am in a trio so that we can meet the members there. Almost all of the members in Alaverdi are Women, so it has been hard to meet the members there. They made us a trio so that we can meet these people without having to have an extra male present. It makes things so much easier because last transfer I saw the difficulties of that area, but with the trio it is like all of the problems just went away. So yeah for the next 3 months I will be in Alaverdi. 

Okay I want to go into one miracle that happened this week. So yesterday morning Elder Web one of my companions. (my other companion is Elder Ebert). So Elder Web got up in the morning and said that today we are going to find a male that is in his 30s and is married with 2 kids. He also said that he would smoke and drink a little, but would want to quit. So we were going to one of our meeting and we we were talking to this tatik, when this man with 2 little kids is walking up the road. I thought this is him, so I said hello as the other two Elders were talking to the tatik still. We started talking to him and found out that he was married and that he wanted to meet with us again. We still do not know if he smokes or drinks, but he did look like he was in his 30s. He did seem like the person that doesn't do a lot of that stuff, but a little. It is just amazing that if you rely on the Lord it will happen. I did not think much of it when Elder Web said that, but when I saw this man I was like no really? Is this him? Just crazy how the Lord brings miracles to your life. Just rely on the Lord for everything and good things will happen. 

So this week one thing that I learned that I will use for the rest of my life was actually something that I was watching on Lds.org during emails. It was how one question can put life in perspective. So now every time I make a decision, get mad, or want to do something contrary to what you know is right. Think about this one question, would it matter in 1000 years? I just want you to ponder that question and if it would not matter in 1000 years than take it out of your life.

I am super excited for this next transfer and it should go super well. As always pray to our Heavenly Father every day. He is always there to answer our questions. Ask and ye shall receive knock and it shall be opened unto you. I love you guys so much and have an amazing week. If you want to watch that video it is on Lds.org just look for it.
