I Will Go and Do : Week 10: New Companion!

Dear Family and Friends,
It has been a pretty amazing week in Worcester. First of all, I got a new companion! Elder Stewart, he is from Sunset, Utah. He has been serving for about 13 months. He has been all over the mission and recently transferred from Newport, Rhode Island. He is a great missionary. We are planning on getting an insane amount of work done and I am very, very excited to serve with him, grow with him, and learn with him.

Story from the week: Tony, our investigator is so amazing. He continues to teach me so much. He shared an amazing story this week with us. So he was struggling to pay his car bill. He currently doesn't have a job and he was getting pretty nervous. Then, he watched a bible video and Christ spoke to his disciples about having little faith. He then realized that he needed to have more faith and put his trust in the Lord. Instead of worrying about the bill, he started reading his scriptures and said a prayer. No later than an hour later he got a call from a job that he applied for. They hired him and said that he could start the next day and his dad's girlfriend was going to lend him some money. SO AMAZING!! He has a baptismal date for this Saturday. People here have so much faith and they are such great examples to me.

This week we were at one of our dinner appointments and we were going to be fed steaks! I was so stoked and then ... of course the grill caught on fire! It was so crazy, the family was putting it out with a fire extinguisher and there was a cop there. Ha, ha, no steak for us but oh well, the story was worth it.

The work here is going well. Miracles are happening every day. Today we got to go to the temple again. The temple truly is the house of the Lord and I'm so thankful to be so close to one. I hope all is well in Utah and wherever else you all are! Take advantage of being able to go to the temple often if you live nearby one. Thanks for all the support!

Love ya,
Elder Gutierrez
