Feb 11-Firmly Grasp It

Sweet friends of the Earth! The first week of the transfer has been superb, Elder Cox and I became great friends immediately, we are two peas in a pod. He is the funniest guy I've served with but he balances it with a great desire to work hard and to be obedient. We are going to see so many great things this transfer. 

Not much to write about this week. We have been able to have some awesome contacts, and some super awkward contacts. One guy we talked to said he would like a Book of Mormon but when we reached out and handed it to him he just stood there, and did not take it. after repeatedly telling him that he could have it was a gift for him and that it was for free he took it. We had pretty good laugh about the whole confrontation for the next couple days. 

our Brazilian Family accepted a soft baptismal date for March 16. They want to be baptized, but want to pray to know if it is the right time. They are Golden. I am glad that they are taking baptism so seriously. 

Right now I a trying to read the Book of Mormon as fast as possible, something that has stuck out to me is Nephi's testimony at the end of his life in 2 Nephi 33:10

And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good.

The Book of Mormon really is another testament of Jesus Christ. The words written are the words Christ would say. I know that and that the Book of Mormon is true.

Stay Fly
Love,
Elder Judd

Hello everyone, this was probably the best week of my entire mission! There were so many incredible things that happened. Here are the highlights...  1. First I got to go to the Baptism of my good friend Alejandro in Newport Beach. He and his family are some people I found my last week in that area. They progressed so rapidly in a week and it was amazing to see that my second transfer. I drove up to the baptism with Elder Kema and Burrows (who I was with when we found them). His family happened to live right across the hall from us. At the End Elder Kema, Burrows and I got to bare our testimonies to the family. It was a super spiritual experience. It was so incredible to see this young boy beaming with excitement to be baptized. Afterwords the rest of the family said they felt the spirit very strongly. The mom got up and bore her testimony and said "I have had many missionaries teach our family, but it was those 3 crazy boys in the beginning who came with their hearts and thei...

August 27th-Great 2 weeks

Wow. I have had the best 2 weeks of my mission so far! Last Tuesday was my birthday, and it was a weird day for sure. A member took us to a fancy dinner and we drove in his new Tesla there. It was a great day, but its hard to celebrate your birthday when you are trying to serve and focus on helping others. Later in the week, I had another birthday dinner at the Clark family's house, probably the most genuine family I've ever met. They always show so much love to the missionaries who serve in that ward, I am really going to miss them. We started teaching a Columbian family that we helped move in and happened to live across the hall from us, talk about God putting people in our path. This family is spectacular. We taught them the restoration, the mom and dad only speak broken English, but were able to understand the majority of the lesson. The mom even read the introduction in Spanish and was blown away. We invited them to an activity right after the lesson and came! The ...
