Hey y'all I'm so sorry I haven't sent a weekly in forever!! I've been crazy busy.
Okay so I'm going to give y'all some highlights from my week! So this week I had a special district meeting on Friday because two head honchos from salt lake city came to see how we implement family history. They are kinda the big boys who run family history. They are super cool. But on Thursday night we held a family history event at the Destin library with the Prices. By the way Melissa they said they remember you and they love and miss you! They said you were one of the first missionaries that they trained. They want us to let them know when we come back to visit cause they want to see us both. Anyways so we had like 9 non members there and we worked one on one with them and doing their family history work! It was so awesome the guy I was helping could not think of his great grandmothers name to save his life. I didn't know what else to do or say because I don't know his family. So I just started to pray for him. Moments later he was able to remember her name and we were able to find tons of records for his family! It was awesome! Heavenly Father truly does answer prayers. The brotheren from salt lake were really impressed with us and they took us out to dinner in Destin. It was awesome. Then on Friday we had the special district meeting, which was cool because the men from salt lake were asking us questions and they are taking basically everything we say and applying it to the entire world for the missionary department. It was pretty neat to be apart of that. So that night we had a family history event. No one really showed up for the first like 15 minutes but it was awesome because we invited our neighbor to come and she showed up. I was able to work one on one with her and we found so much for her family! She got so excited and said how she feels some thing I pointed out to her that she feels the spirit. It was powerful! So family history is the big highlights of my week!
My Invitation to y'all is if you don't have a family history account or if you do and you haven't done much, or maybe you have done a lot and think there isn't more to do. Trust me there is always more you can Do! Invite your friends to participate in it. It's so much fun and super non threatening.
Also transfers happened, I'm still staying here in fort Walton. But I have a feeling this could be my last transfer. I could possibly stay one more but we will see. I've only had 3 areas.
Baptism on April 7th!!!! An investigator we taught is getting baptized on April 7th and he said how he prayed about it and heard a voice telling him that I need to baptize him. That was such a sacred experience to hear that come from him. I'm so excited to have the privilege of baptizing him. Also back In my last area in Daphne Alabama, a girl that elder southway and I found and taught has a baptismal date for April 28th!! I'm so excited!!! Elder southway and I have a plan to drive there and be at her baptism!
Overall this week has been super good but also rough with trying to find our own investigators! But we will get there! I love you all for the love and support! I'm so thankful for my family and wishing me happy birthday and sending me gifts and packages full of goodies and cool UNLV and golden night clothing! I love you all!
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Graham
