Elder Pilling in Antigua

  Heyyyy everybody I hope you all are doing very good!! I got transfered to the city with Elder Wright. He's from Utah and has 20 months in the mission. The city is sooo busy and so loud and so much is happening. I miss the mountains but can see how much potential we have!!! It’s also like reallyyy hot here. I'm dying.    Now this week we have been meeting with lots of members seeing if they have friends for us to teach. And we have recieved lots of potentials!!! I can already see the potential people here we can teach!!  This week we have shared a few scriptures from President Oaks' talk. Here is one I love: "I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings. And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spir...

  Hi everyone!  This week was a good week! The last week of the transfer and my last week here. Tomorrow I will be going to a new area!  On Wednesday we finally moved houses!! The new house is super super nice.... too bad I’m leaving haha. But we didnt have power for 16 days and no water for 13 days. It was an interesting experience to say the least.  We visited our friend Benjamin Tuesday to see what he thought about baptism. He is 9 years old and was afraid of the water. So we set a date for the 8th. He accepted and seemed excited! We went back Thursday and Friday to finalize everything and Saturday we had the baptism. He showed up and was super exicited. But when it was time to enter the font, he got super scared and started crying. A minute later her came into the font with me  but was still crying. He really didn’t want to go under the water... but after 5 or 10 minutes and help from Elder Bautista and the ward mission leader, we were able to perform the ba...

Heyyy everyone, This week was a pretty solid week!! We had divisiones with the zone leaders on Wednesday and I went to their area with Elder Child. He’s almost done his mission and super chill. I knew him before and it wad a good time. We had some good lessons! My companion and the other zone leader taught Jerson. He lives in an Aldea and it was a really good lesson. He read the Book of Mormon and had things marked and wants to be baptized. But, wants to know the church first and learn more.    We met with Benjamin on Friday and invited him to be baptized on the 8th! He said yes and seemed excited. But he's afraid of the water and has tried 3 time before. Like a year ago. But we are hoping and praying that he will have the courage to take this step!  We have transfers on the 11th.... we will see what happens but honestly I don’t want to leave. I love it here. Even though we still don't have water or power... but good news!! We are moving houses on Wednesday! I’m pretty ha...
