Good to hear
from you guys, and yes… everything was going alright with my last companion. We
were companions for just 1 transfer, he was not really my favorite companion, but
we did not really have any major problems… it’s all good. My new companion is
Elder Cushing, he is sweet we get along really well. We are very much alike so
we click J He
also plays the guitar so we have been jammin in the flat. He is from Mapleton
Utah, and has been on his mission for about 5 months, so just a little less than
me J I was getting a bit
stressed for a bit there, just because our area is not doing to hot and me and
my companion were not hitting it off to well, it makes a huge difference when
you and your companion get along really well, even if the area is not doing well
you still have a fun time, since we get along so well, things are going
better. As far as investigators go we
have like literally two investigators that are kinda progressing. Yesterday we
got a message from these two guys we were teaching saying that they were not
comfortable with the Book of Mormon and would not read it but said we could
come by and just talk about the bible, which really kinda sucks. Our purpose is not to go to people and teach
them about the bible. Then two of are other investigators Charity and Clair are
ditching appointment's, not coming to church, and just basically falling of our
radar. Besides that, we are working with a few less actives, only one of which
is actually coming back now, Sister Masters. I think I talked about her in one of my
previous emails. She is awesome we see her like 3-4 times a week because she
also feeds us like crazy. She is like my grandma on mission, I told her I had a
sore throat at church and when we went to her house to visit her yesterday she
had bought me a bag full of medicine and a bunch of stuff to help my throat. She
said she knows she broke the Sabbath day but that the lord would understand
that she had to help one of her missionaries.
She is coming back to church now and doing super well and now preparing
to go to the temple, so that's really cool! The only investigators that are
somewhat progressing is a girl named Isabelle who is from Zim and a nanny for
some members, and then a guy named Gordan who is a really good guy. He has
already finished the Book of Mormon and knows everything is true but the only
thing holding him back is his job. His job is not allowing him to come to
church. So that's my update on our investigators, but like I said it does not
matter on how bad or good your area is, if you and your companion get along the
area is going to be sweet and you will have fun no matter what. It was like
with me and Elder Robinson in Nelspruit. A lot of missionaries hated that area
but to this day it was my favorite area and was my hardest just because I had a
sweet companion.
So I hope
that was a good update on my life as of now. We just really need members help
right now. We are trying to get referrals but not too much is happening. So if
you have any ideas on how to get members to help us let me know. Sounds like
things are going well at home. I like the pictures you sent me, sorry I have
not been sending very many, to be honest I have not taken any pictures since I
last sent you guys those last photos. Tell me what you want pictures of and I’ll
get it for you guys. I really don't know
what to take pictures of anymore, so just let me know. Sounds like you’re going
to have a busy summer mom. And dad, that’s sweet that you’re going to go
golfing more, I will have to join you when I get home. I think I have clubs,
but I can’t remember. I think golfing is like the least popular sport here ha-ha,
actually I take that back… I think it might be American football. All people watch here is Soccer, Rugby, and
Cricket. I have no idea how someone can sit down and watch a full game of
cricket it is like the most boring sport in the world. But I guess I’ll talk to
you guys next week… thanks for Nelsons number I’ll give him a call. Love you
guys, take care.
