Door Knocking has Commenced! 4-26-2021

Hello everyone! Welcome back to ye olde weekly from Elder Williams! It has seriously been a crazy week, we are always doing something! We called through the rest of the members that haven't been to church in a long time, and then we have started knocking on their doors! Which is super cool! We can only knock on members doors as of right now though. We found out the church records are way old though, one guy hadn't lived at the address we had for 5 years. And one house looked like it hadn't been used for months. Because of this push we are doing to help out some of the members, we have gotten to meet with some of the members and it's been really special. Most of them didn't even know we had church in person back yet. And it's always cool to meet new people, they are still disappointed they can't feed us meals yet. As are we. We also had to take Shelly off of her date for baptism which was really sad. She just isn't quite ready yet, and there...

The end of another Sprint 4-19-2021

¿Que es arriba? Hey everyone, welcome back to another weekly! We had our third Sprint week since I've been out here, and the goals were even higher! It was a busy week, and we met our goals again as a companionship! We saw a lot of miracles, our faith grew a lot, and a lot of laughter was had. There is never a dull moment in this apartment.  The weather has been all over the place, and the same with Covid. There's a lot of people in the area that have it. So send your prayers if you can! One of the really cool miracles I saw this week was the opportunity in inviting people to church. There was two guys that I decided to invite that we've met once before and they didn't seem too interested in church and religion. But they both watched over Zoom, and they both texted afterwards to say thank you for inviting them. That was really cool to see, normally people don't text to say thanks after coming to church. So hopefully we can see some progression in them....

The Calm Before the Storm 4-12-2021

Oh hey! What's up everyone! This week has been a good week! It's been a fun start to the transfer! I really like my new companion Elder Clark a lot, and I don't think it's a coincident that he's from Arizona too. 😉 It's sad to say goodbye to Elder Hatch and Roberts, but it's good to switch up things a bit. So we are preparing for another Sprint week, were we have really high goals of people we are going to invite to learn, read the Book of Mormon, and come to church as well as members we will meet with. So this P day will be the calm before the storm, because we are going to go as hard as we can this week! So send out your prayers this week for Michigan!  One miracle we saw this week was David reached out again after a couple weeks, we thought he had disappeared. And we got to meet with Joe again after like a month! He is doing well, but his mom is against us meeting with him. So please pray for him as well. We are still working with Shelly, t...

What is up everybody! HAPPY EASTER!! This has been such an amazing week, I will always remember it! First of all, it was the last week of the transfer and the last week training Elder Roberts, so that's exciting! So it turns out I will be STAYING in TC another transfer!?!? That's so crazy, I am so excited!! Elder Clark is coming up from Grand Rapids tomorrow, and it will be a blast! I've heard he is from Arizona as well! Elder Roberts is going down to Lansing, and Elder Hatch is going to zone lead over the Grand Rapids zone now. It will be weird not living with him, we've lived together 6 months now. They will be missed! We were also able to have Jon's baptism yesterday, and what an amazing experience that was! He was so ready to accept the gospel in his life when we first met him, he is amazing! He has such a love for the scriptures and has studied the bible his whole life, but he said the Bible didn't completely make sense until he read the Book ...
