This past week our zone set a goal to all hit the standard for lessons and other key indicators(basically stats for all ya non missionaries). Which is pretty tough normally only about 2 areas hit it every week. We all worked super hard and helped each other out and it was super cool because everyone of us hit the full standard. It was a pretty amazing team effort and we saw so many miracles this week.
The Brookhollow area is really starting to get going. We are teaching a ton of people and getting a lot of member support. We had exchanges this week so Elder Peery from Tulsa Spanish came over for a day. He is a great missionary and we had some amazing lessons. We should get quite a few baptisms in this next transfer. The Family from Hawaii/Micronesia is really doing well and we just keep meeting more of them that want to be a part of the church. There is actually one couple that were members back in Hawaii. Love that family but it is kinda rough teaching because there English is not great. And the Hmong group is doing well Padi is progressing so well and it is amazing to just see the change in her personality. She basically bore her testimony to us and told us how much happier the gospel has made her. I dont know i just love Asians. Lots of missionaries out her get Spanish fever but I really love Asian culture.
We got transfer calls on Saturday and im gonna be staying here for another transfer with Elder King. there were a lot of changes made in the zone but it should be a pretty good transfer.
Im having a great time out here and I hope 2016 is treating you all well.
And quick shout out to the Seahawks for being awesome. Definitely miss Seattle and Washington because Tulsa is pretty boring. Like everyone we talk to says there is nothing to do here and they all want to leave. But i haven't got shot yet so I'm having a good time.
1/8th of the way done!
Love,
Elder Shepherd
