Whew! This week has blown by! We have transfers coming up this week, and usually that means that the week previous is down on most of our numbers. This past week has been the best week thus far since I have been here in Portlandia! We found the most new investigators and taught the highest number of lessons since I have been here. Many people think that we are just focused on the numbers, but that has been the highest number of people that we have helped come unto Christ since I have been here. That has been that highest number of people that have accepted an invitation to learn more about the restored gospel since I have been here. Many miracles has been brought into the lives of those whom we come in contact with since I have been here in Portland. Unfortunately Elder Ehrenzeller and I will be split this transfer, he will take the YSA ward and I will stay in Alameda for another transfer and receive Elder Aragon. Since we moved apartments, we had a much larger apartment. Elder Ehernzeller and his new companion will be living with us! They will be the zone leaders over the Portland Zone, and we will be over the new split PDX East Zone. It should be very competitive between the zones!! :)
This last week we had the opportunity to see a fellow who referred himself onMormon.org. He has recently moved here from San Francisco and is engaged to a member who lives down there. He came to church a few weeks ago and loved it. Then he went back to California to purpose to his soon to be fiancé. We met back up with him this last week where we were able to go into his life story and how he decided to join the crochet. He told us he could see his life going out of control and needed some change. When he prayed to "a god [he] did not believe was there" and felt as if God was standing next to him. It was not too long after that when he began to date the member who is soon going to become his wife. What miracles we have been able to see!!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
Love,
Elder Hamblin
