Week #19 - San Bernardino (Rancho Ward) - San Bernardino, CA, Mission

Image
Hey everyone! Well this week has honestly been very long and tiring. Once Elder Livingston left and I got my new companion everything has been fast paced. We've been visiting a lot of people and trying to balance the training of my new companion. My new companion is Elder Watson. He is from Star Valley, Wyoming. He's pretty cool and is already navigating the area and leading me around to appointments. He's also very focused on helping people and relates to them well. We also had several miracles this week. First of all, some recent converts that we've been teaching came to the ​ W​ ard Hal loween party. It was fun and I got to introduce Elder Watson to everyone there. The second one happened a week ago. We got a call from one of our contacts. We decided to visit him because no one responded when we answered. It turned out that he never called us, but ​he did ​ ha ​ve​ a strong desire to learn more about God and change his life. In short, an ang...

Week #18 - San Bernardino (Rancho Ward) - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Hey everyone! Well this week has been great. I'm afraid that this email is going to be very short because we were very busy today getting chores done and cleaning our apartment. Also, the car we were planning to use to do our errands was towed so that made things a little more complicated.  The big news that I have for this week is that I am going to stay in San Bernardino, train a missionary, and become the district leader all at the same time! My companion Elder Livingston is also going to be transferred out to the desert and will also become a district leader.  Love you guys lots! Elder Green 

Week #17 - San Bernardino (Rancho Ward) - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Hey Everyone! Well today has been an interesting week. The good news is that we found someone new to teach and she has already had a spiritual experience with the Book of Mormon. We are going to try to help her get to church this week. Also, one of our recent converts just received the Aaronic priesthood yesterday and really wants to go to the temple. Hopefully, we'll be able to go this week.  Another exciting ​ ​ piece ​ of news is that we were finally able to contact a recent convert. We've been trying to contact him for the past couple weeks so we were so happy to finally meet with him.  We also went on exchanges this week so for a day I was with Elder Cressal. We had some fun together and found a member that hadn't been to church for years. He was pretty cool and the manager for an apartment complex so he let us lock up our bikes at the apartment complex and knock on the doors. We found maybe one person who said we could come back. However, I hope the mi...

Week #16 - San Bernardino (Rancho Ward) - San Bernardino, CA, Mission

​ Hey Everyone! I hope you all have had a good week. This week has been interesting. We've had a few miracles and been able to find some people that are willing to listen to us and were pretty friendly so its been a successful week.  The first crazy thing/somewhat miracle that we had is that as we were a tracking, a man came up to us and started talking to us about the Book of Mormon. He had an experience with ​it ​ where he believed it was the reason why God spared his life. His experience was crazy but it goes just to show how powerful the Book of Mormon is. Another miracle we had was that on our way back home I was impressed to pass by someone that we had as almost given up on. We had a really positive visit with them. They were going through a really hard time and really needed our message. I felt so grateful that I followed that prompting. We also had a funny, but scary experience. As we were biking, a big bulldog chased my companion. Thankfully, the dog tire...
