Yep the mailing adress is the same! Still in the same place! Yeah the family that dropped off the package is a really nice family. Wish you could have met them. Their daughter is the one who I had text you on your birthday. I can’t believe Jordan and Dakotas brother are home already! It’s weird that I’m almost half way. Things are going really well right now. We had some ups and some downs. Some of the downs first were that we met with the L family with the 4 kids we were teaching and I guess they had gone to C and their Catholic aunt had talked to them a bunch and they are rethinking baptism and we weren’t able to meet with the older kids. Good news in that is that the mom still wants to come back to church and her youngest daughter the 11 year old knows it’s true and still wants to get baptized. We only taught them on Wednesday. This week really did just fly by. We visited a lot of less actives and had a few good lessons. We got a call Wednesday evening from AP M and he asked if I would be willing to have a two week missionary. I agreed and we picked him up the next morning. His name is Elder G from F. The youth here have the opportunity in the summer to serve a two week mission and kind of see how things go. It’s been going pretty well so far. We have had a lot of good powerful lessons while he has been here. I’m still getting along really great with Elder N and am really enjoying having a good, fun, hardworking companion. I’m hoping I continue to get companions like him the rest of my mission. Things in B are getting a little crazy. Lots of people are going to be moving in August. Luckily I’ll probably already be gone then because I don’t want to be here without those families in the ward. And just having Elder U gone is weird. He has been here the whole time I was. His companion got a new greenie they are a lot alike and let’s just say that Elder N and I will be mostly keeping to ourselves this transfer. haha We are planning on hopefully getting a couple of new investigators this upcoming week and set baptismal dates with whoever we can. We have been slacking a little on tracting so we are going to make sure we do better at that and I’m sure either we will find someone or like before we will have someone fall into our laps. Not a ton happened the rest of the week... oh on Sunday we had a good lesson with our investigator C and talked about the plan of salvation. He really ate it up and is taking it in really well. We talked about temples and work for the dead and he loved it. We are still trying to set a baptismal date with him but it isn’t working yet but we will get one soon. I hope you all are doing fantastic! I love and miss you all so so so much!
Sounds like a good family reunion! I miss Pine Valley and Zion’s! I have a postcard of Zion’s on my wall that Sister Plumb I think? It was awhile back. Also Taylor Ellsworth sent a postcard too. So if you see them Sunday and remember tell them I appreciate it and look at those postcards every day.
Some of my favorite scriptures? That’s a really hard question because honestly before I left on my mission, I didn’t understand really anything I read. But now I understand it and apply it like I’ve been doing it my whole life. Some of my favorite scriptures though are Alma 37:36-37 about prayer. 2 Nephi 9 talks alot about the plan of salvation. I love the stories of Lamoni’s conversion and his father’s conversion. And Ammon, Aaron, Omner and Himni. Their missions are a lot more relatable being on one and are really inspiring. I really like D&C 121 I think 7-9 if I’m correct that is when Christ comforts Joseph and tells him that our trials are but a moment? Yeah that scripture is definitely one of my favorites. Well I hope you have a great week this week and stay cool I hear that its getting warm up there. Also if you get a chance feed the missionaries there and make them something unique :) haha
