HELLO FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!
Well we got the email for transfers and I found out that I am getting transferred!! I have been in the Citrus Ridge ward now for about 7 months and have loved serving in it but I am ready to move on to better things. Wednesday is the day I find out where I am going.
The Summer party on the beach was really fun!! We had a great time with the whole mission and were able to talk with one another. I love seeing other missionaries and making friends out here!
As for the week it was great! I was expecting to get transferred out of the area so I was saying a lot of goodbyes to some of the investigators and people in the area.
Daniel has been doing pretty good but I think some doubts and things are getting inside his head. We have been having good lessons with him and he is around good people and members like Jarsi but has been having some second thoughts about baptism. I will get a pic of him tomorrow and send it out, he is a great guy and a good friend!
Ben we haven't been able to keep in good touch with unfortunately and found out that he moved this past week. Good news though it is still in the ward! We will most likely have to move his baptism back because we haven't been able to keep in touch with him too much.
Cool story: We were out in the heat of the day and right when I turn to Elder Swallow to say there is no one outside a car pulls up and we talk to them and tell them that we leave our families for 2 years to teach people about Christ. They let us in and turns out they have been looking for a church to go to so they can turn their life over to God. God places his missionaries in the perfect places at the perfect timing! If it was literally a minute later we wouldn't have been able to talk with them!
We had the last supper with Angel and Nate who we helped move into our apartment complex a little bit ago. We had some good steaks and some Gizzard and Chicken Heart! How is that for interesting food! I am sure going to miss their hospitality and the friendship we have.
A less active family from Hawaii invited us to dinner and a lesson so we went over there yesterday and had a good time munching and mingling! They gave me a Lava Lava as a departing gift and they taught me how to wear it! I love those guys they are awesome! I am sending some fun pics of that.
I love this Gospel and the time I have to be the Lords Servant in these Latter Days. It is my testimony that the Lord is at the Helm and in control of everything. He is one prayer away. He loves all of us, he is willing to help us through the hard times and we don't have to go through them alone.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
If you are going to send a letter hold off till next week when I send my new address!!
