Week 87 - I'm Being Transferred to Krum!

 Howdy all my fellow Cowboys and Cowgirls! 

Instead of weekly emails my trend is more transfer-ly emails! (That means every six weeks or so!) Hahaha. I should be doing better about sending emails out, so I'll try harder next week! 

This Transfer I was with Elder Taufa and Elder Koloamatangi! We were in a trio for the whole time except the last week (an Elder in this zone left to his assignment in Africa and his companion needed a companion, so he got one of mine). We spent a lot of this transfer doing service, teaching lessons, and getting to know the youth in the ward better! 

We've been able to have a lot of fun experiences but one that sticks out to me is the time we were invited to a football camp! Here in Euless is one of Texas' most famous football high schools. It's called Trinity High School. One of our church members is the Defensive line coach for Trinity and invited us for a tour of their facilities. This Texas high school puts some D1s to shame. hahaha. They have an indoor field to practice on, huge locker rooms, a mat room, weightlifting room, and more. After the tour we watched  a U12 football game and to be honest, they could probably beat American Fork football, sorry guys. After that we watched some of a lineman camp. I thought it was super cool to watch some football again, but the best part about it was the amount of Tongans that were there! It was probably one of the most ingenious finding activities I've done, because we met so many nonmember Tongans, and we were able to talk with them and get to know them! We even invited one to church. 

I just love how on the mission you can apply some of your hobbies or interests into the Lord's work. I would have never thought I would be watching football games and sharing the gospel at the same time! ZAZA!

A lot has happened this past transfer, but I don't have enough typing stamina to tell you all about It, but I'd love to leave y'all with a message that God lives, and He loves you. He's your Father and He cares about the well-being of your soul. He gave us a gift and that gift is called prayer. When we pray to God, we are speaking to him directly. He loves to hear us talk about the things that make us happy in this life, and even our trials. When you pray you can ask Him for help and for blessings. Sometimes the answers come in ways you would of never thought possible. So I'd like to invite you to, if you haven't already, start praying to God, and if you are praying to God, keep doing it! 

I love you all lots. I can feel your love and support each day! 

Love,

Elder Delgado 

P.S. I'm being transfered to the Denton zone in the Krum area. My companion will be Elder Morely! This is also my last full transfer of my mission as I'm expected to return "home" to Utah in August to begin college in the fall.
