(This was in response to questions about training…)Well they do need new trainers but the thing is. The new missionaries coming out are all either Spanish or sisters. The amount of English Elders is staying the same so it’s not too much of a demand. But next transfer we are getting another Elder Graff! haha I don’t know what his name is or where he is from though but I just think it’s funny.

 I did have a couple cool stories this week.

 1st. We were playing basketball with some youth on Wednesday night after a meeting and I went up for a rebound and got hit in the back of the arm and dislocated my shoulder! Not very bad though and I just looked at it out of place and just pushed it back where it was supposed to be. We went to the chiropractor a few days later and he did a little adjusting and its feels a little better. Still pretty tender though.

2nd. Because of our lack of people to teach and me wanting to find a family to teach really bad I fasted to find a family. Well Sunday morning at 7 we had ward council where our bishop informed us of a family that lives in our area that was going to a ward in Rancho but is going to start coming to our ward. 6 people, non-members. Also a member of our ward who is one of my favorite people in the ward who I respect a ton. went to do his home teaching and one family had moved and so he talked to the new family that moved in and they don’t have a church yet so he invited him to ours and to play soccer with us on Wednesday nights and he said he would love to! They are a family of 7. haha the Lord works in mysterious ways :)

3rd. We went back to that family I tracted into and dropped off a Book of Mormon that we had one of our members write their testimony in and he said he is still interested and we are going back to hopefully teach him this week! Pray that his heart is softened!

4th. We got to go to the CES broadcast of David A Bednar’s talk and it was REALLY good. About submitting to God’s will and putting your trust in him through your trials. You should watch it if you get a chance.

 

Things are going alright still and hopefully picking up. I don’t have enough time left to waste any of it. I love you tons and look forward to hearing from you next week!
