YOYOYO ELDER HEQUER IS LEAVING HAHAHAHAHA. So he got transferred and im staying here but i wont know until tomorrow who will be my comp. It will be someone who is just being called as zone leader just like me last transfer. so i will actually be a Senior Zone Leader now which is pretty crazy. The week was alright with Hequer. Kinda normal I guess. Im just glad for someone new. I would have lived it out if he stayed but im just happy to be with someone new. So this week we found an awesome couple Lucianno and ALessandra but they arent married yet. They are really liking our messages and have tons of great questoins. So im hoping that can all work out and we can marry them this transfer and baptize them. Families are the most rewarding baptisms on the mission. I would way rather baptize a family or couple then people individually. There is just a much better chance for them to stay firm. We had a couple other people at church and have a couple of girls that are wanting to be baptized. They are only 9 and 11 but their mom is an inactive and they really got excited about the baptism of jesus Christ and how we are the only church that can duplicate the example that he set for us. Well we are seeing the problem with our zone is they are not continually finding new people. Like even when you have baptisms for that week or you have a couple of firm investigators you still need to be finding new people everyyyyy singleeee dayyyy or your work will really slow down. So we have been trying to motivate them with that. I think something that added to their lack of motivation was one of our district leaders in our zone. He is american and got on the mission with me. But turns out he has depression and is going home tomorrow. I feel really bad for him and he is a good missionary but im glad to have a different district leader for this transfer.
Yeah it really does seem like you guys are running aroudn. I cant believe you are driving abby to freaking college tomorrow!!! thats crazy! Im glad you guys liked jackson! He seems like a nice guy and its good we have a few family connections. What has abby said about him? and why are you saying BOYFRIEND? its not her BF right?? And I hope abby realizes it would be dumb to wait for him and not date any one else. Even I didnt want that with sally. Abby needs to date casually her freshman year and see whats out there. I loved the pics and the video! Everyone in the family is so cute! and im glad jackson meshed with everyone. I was excited about one year! its a good step to take for sure. My mission will be coming down to an end in a snap. Im excited for this transfer though and to continue working my butt off and find a few of the Lords elects.
Thats awesome about the atv profit! Honestly if I could make another $170 in the last year of my mission I would already be happy.
Im glad you are proud of me momma! Idk how much you can tell just through email but i really feel like ive changed a lot. I wanna come home and in my homecoming talk just amazeee everyone. More than anything my mission will be something that will help me stay firm in the gospel for the rest of my life. I love the second quote you sent me. Really what i am here doing is asking people to completely change their lives. Its not just a slight change of going to another church, but seriously everything in your life changes. I think thats why its so hard to baptize sometimes, but its good to know that there are people all over the world that follow the Lords path with such great commitment.
I love you momma!
