hows it going everybody. another great week out here...so this week we got our transfer news, and sadly I'm leaving concord. it's been a good time here this branch is awesome and knows how to throw a party. I'm getting moved to richmond which is just north of oakland and Berkeley, I'm pretty hyped about it. well see what happens but um excited to see what comes with it.we also started this last week off with my companion dislocating his shoulder playing basketball. it was pretty funny. I think it was my first time not being on the injured side of that situation, so I call it a win.
we also had a really cool experience this week. So we met this man named Segundo this week. we went over to his house with a member because they were worried about him. after we got there he told us his story, about how three years ago he watched his bestfriend die right next to him in a work accident. he has been traumatized ever since, his wife ended up leaving him and his bestfriends family is trying to sue him. He was very depressed, and as we were there on sunday he told us how he wanted to kill himself. our member kept talking to him talking about how the atonement can help him and how he needs to read the book of Mormon. we gave him a blessing that night then came back the next day with a BoM. we read with him on sunday, tuesday and then thursday. We got to his house on thursday, and something was different he had a whole new light. he was opening his eyes all the way standing up straight something had changed. he told us that he read the intro to the book of Mormon and the testimonies. he loved it. he also didn't mention anything along the lines of him wanting to die. it was a miracle.the book of Mormon truly is the word of god and WILL change your life. it changed mine and it changed segundos. give it a read.elder b
