Well I am definitely ready to get back into the heart of
missionary work as the holidays have come to an end and our
investigators are hopefully out of excuses! The weather out here has
been great and my companion and I get to spend a lot of time out walking
in our short sleeve shirts. I can't say that I looking forward to the
summer as I would much rather the temperature remain right where it's
at. This has been a really slow week for us with two of our
investigators move, one ask us not to contact him for a while, and three
of our other lessons cancel on us. Never the less it's a new week and
we do have one new investigator in our singles ward that we hopefully
get to begin teaching this week. I feel like we've been working really
well with the members and the number of referrals we receive is
beginning to increase. I really want to stay with my companion at least
another transfer so that we can really build up the area. The transfer
is already nearly over and we've already received the news that we'll be
getting over 50 missionaries in just the next two transfers (12
Weeks) which will open up a new zone and have over half the mission
training. It's also neat cause I'll be older than over half the
missionaries out!...Or maybe that isn't so neat haha.
We did a lot of service this week helping with a couple moves
and then the biggest project which was helping the members we live with
clean out their garage. I love living with members and it's definitely a
different feel from the apartment I came from. I really feel at home
with them and on New Year's Eve since we had to be in by 6 they came and
watched Called to Serve, and Mountain of the Lord with us. I'm really
grateful to them in all that they do for us and hope that we get to stay
for a while before they rotate us to a new home.
Today we're going to go run some errands we had and then we're
meeting up with the zone to play some flag football. It should be fun
day and it'll start the first normal week we've had so far this
transfer. I hope dad passes his kidney stone alright and that you all
are doing better and getting over the sickness that's been going around.
I heard that the MTC is having their own problems with getting sick and
that 250 missionaries got a virus that was going around....Glad I was
able to miss that!
I'm sorry to all the people who I haven't responded to who wrote
me or sent a package for Christmas. It's been a little crazy and I'm
trying to find a time to sit down and write you back. I love you all and
wish the best from a very happy missionary.
