I did get your package the other day and it made my day!! Mail has been a rarity for me lately so it was nice to see my name on something in the mailbox (:
Well as for this week we really didn’t do much but run things around for people and had some assignments from President that we had to do but it was pretty good. We got transfer calls and Elder H and I are staying together again!! I’m super excited! I was worried he was going to be taken away! I’m thinking that this will possibly be his last transfer here because at the end of this one he will have been in the ward for 9 months. Well my good buddy Elder C has been in his ward for a very long time also. So it is likely he will get transferred and he is already a zone leader so it’s possible I could have him as a next companion and most likely would be with him for 2 transfers by then I will be down to my final 4. It would be fantastic if that happened. Our zone actually didn’t have much change. Of the 11 companionships we only had 3 people get transferred. One Elder had been here is whole mission (9 months) and the other 2 were both companions and we know why one got transferred but we didn’t think they were going to take both. One of them is one of our super awesome greenies so we are bummed but we will probably get a new greenie there with a trainer.
Something really awesome happened this week! We met with a referral we got named W. We met at the church and brought a girl from our ward and taught her the restoration and she said that she liked it and we invited her to be baptized on Nov 10.... She said yes!! I’m really excited! There hasn’t been a baptism here for over a year! Hopefully this will get people started in missionary work. Plus there was a missionary who just got home from Orlando and he is SUPER AWESOME! We talked to the bishop about maybe having him as ward mission leader since we don’t have one and he would just do really great! You can tell by the way that he is that he was an excellent missionary and did lots of really good work. He is also like a superstar at sports and has tons of friends so this could be the thing to get it started!
Another really awesome thing happened this week. Elder V and Elder M our APs came and talked to us after our zone leader meeting and asked if we could do a favor for them. We said sure and they asked us if we could pick up a missionary from their place that was flying in early before transfers and keep him with us until transfers. Wellllll that missionary just happened to be Elder U!!! He is back out here!! It’s been awesome to be with him the last few days and it’s possible that he could actually be the one in our zone. Maybe. We find out tomorrow! So yeah not a whole lot of new things going on but it’s been a good week. I really hope things pick up soon because I’m starting to get frustrated. Multiple different reasons but I’m doing alright and as soon as the work starts up everything will be better because I’ve found the more work I do the happier I am. I love you tons and hope you have an awesome week!!
To Jeff:
I sure miss Zion’s! It’s funny to still see lizards everywhere up here and I’ve caught a couple of them. One time I put it on my tie while we were tracting and it was pretty funny but nobody was answering their doors so that was a little disappointing. I don’t remember putting lizards on you though. It’s been a fun week with the zone and the last couple days we did some tie trades with the missionary that is leaving because he has some super awesome ties! I love getting new ties and got 2 REALLY awesome ties. And the best part was that one of the ties I traded was one that I was just "eh" about that another missionary gave me before he went home. The other was one that was a little harder to give away but I got a good deal for it and it was just one I got at Ross. It’s always fun to try to see how nice of ties you can get. I think I’m up to about 40 ties now and just can’t get enough. I’m always on the lookout for new awesome ties haha I’m sure you remember from being on your mission.
