| I got this from a member the other day! Happy Mommy!! |
9 Sept 2013
Well we got transfer calls this morning.... I will be going
to a new area and I will be serving the Lord and other missionaries as a
district leader and will be training another new missionary at the same time.
So white wash, district leader, trainer. Talk about fun...not so much. Well
actually it is really fun once you get there and start working, but I am really
nervous right now. White washing is kinda scurry to me. Along with that I don't
really know how to be a district leader. I guess I will just FTS (follow the
spirit) and do what I can to serve.
As for the investigators. Not a lot of progress except with
one lady who we found this week. She was a referral from the visitors center.
She is dating a member that is less active but wants to come back to
activity. We called her on Wednesday and set up a lesson for Thursday night. We
had to go on splits that night so Brother K.(WML) and I went and taught. She
is a really kind lady. We extended the date of September 28th for baptism and
she accepted. She has been reading to Book of Mormon. It is just neat to see
how the Lord has prepared people already we just need to invite.
As for everyone else it has been pretty slow and we have had
a lot of cancellations this week. What can you do? It was still a good week
though.
That was pretty much all this week. As for the pictures, I
would be ecstatic if you could put them back on a memory card and send them
back :) But don't be doing that anytime soon because I dont know where I will
be living. Yuma would be kind of fun. I wouldn't mind going back to Gilbert
either. We will see and I will let you know next Monday.
I am excited for Hayden and all his med school business.
Really exciting. And it sounds like Christian is adjusting well back to normal
life :) Now it is time for him to get married :) I would like to be an uncle
when I get home :)
I love you all!! Sorry it is short!
Love

Well so everything is going good in Yuma. We only cover one
ward and the work is pretty much non existing. There are no investigators and
no potential investigators. We are basically starting from scratch. But its
whatever. Been doing a ton of street contacting.
My comp is from Moore ID. Near Arco. He just graduated. He is doing good. Just tired all the time, which is understandable because it
is a new way of life and very tiring. I remember it.
The size of Yuma is about 100,000. There are 6 sets of
missionaries in actual Yuma and then another 5 sets around the area. Foothills
and somerton and san luis. ask Gma and gpa about it.
Sorry this email is so short, but we really don't have like
anything going in the area right now. We are working on it. Mom I have a bday
present I am trying to get mailed but with transfers and all it has been a
little chaotic. Sorry!!
The blog you can keep updating but i will be doing fb. You
can link the blog with your fb if you want but I probably wont be.
Good to hear that Hayd and Chris are working hard!! And yes
my Spanish is definitely getting tested everyday.
As for K. I love that kid to death. I was praying at
every transfer that I would get to be his comp. Please do keep him in your
prayers. He taught me alot and I will def be hanging out with him after the
mish.
Well I love you all
