Elder Parsons is a BEAST! :)
It is amazing to me how fast time seems to pass. It seems like every
week is faster than the last. This last week has been a great one! I
have seen a few miracles and have noticed the Holy Ghost in my life
more than in the past.
First off, I'd like to mention that I love Elder Parsons! He is so
great and full of faith and it has already strengthened mine in the
short time that we have been serving together. A little background,
Elder Parsons is from Austin , TX. He was a trial missionary and was
serving up in Gainsville (he was actually half trained by Elder Price,
so that makes us mission step brothers haha) when he got his actual
full mission call to this mission.
I will give you an example of how he has lifted me already. Wednesday
night, when we were setting goals for the next day, I suggested that
we set our other lesson goal at one. He promptly suggested 3 and I
quickly responded saying, "Elder, we can't get three lessons in one
day here in this area, it is so difficult to do." As soon as I said
that, I had a thought that said "If you have faith to do it and so
does he, won't it happen? You have done it before have you not?" I
then said to Elder Parsons that we would set our goal at 3. The next
day, we taught 3 other lessons and placed a copy of the Book of
Mormon. It was even a weekly planning day! He has taught me to be
loyal to my goals again! I have already learned so much just in the
four days that I have been companions with him. I look forward to at
least this next 5 and a half weeks!
Elder Griffin and I met this lady named Colleen a few weeks back. She
is super interested in family history and our church. She wasn't able
to come to church the first couple of weeks but she made it to the
Relief Society activity. She instantly made friends and was asking
questions. She is so prepared. She came to church yesterday and she
stayed all three hours. She was involved, she commented and seemed to
really enjoy her self. The Relief Society Teaching for Our Times
lesson was on Elder Oaks talk on "Opposition in All Things." The
spirit was so strong there and it was exactly what she needed I am
sure. I had the same feeling yesterday as I did when Michael came to
church for the first time. Colleen is on her way!
Kellan is out of the hospital! He is making a lot of progress and I
wish I could share specifics but I can't, it is a little confidential.
It is so awesome!
I am doing so well! I think that a fresh start with Elder Parsons has
helped me be strong. I have felt the spirit so much and I am so
grateful for everything that I have learned from him. It is amazing
how much I seemed to have changed so quickly - within one week.
Everything seemed to have been better. We had the best weekly planning
that I have ever had this last week and it was amazing!
Keep the Faith and Hurrah for Israel!
Love, Elder Jefferies
