Happy Fathers Day!!!! I hope you got my card dad! i think its pretty funny :) I love you!
This week has been pretty slow. but ill start out with the end of it.
We got transfer calls this saturday... Yep, im leaving good ol' O'Fallon. And Im heading to Danville IL. Who would of thought? But apparently like The whole mission is being transferred around! We are going to get a new Mission President and everything! so why not move everyone else? Oh well Im excited to start fresh in another area and work my tail off! and i know its where im needed. Me and Elder Reay are way good friends! we say we got comfortable to fast. thats why im leaving. but its where i need to go.
Like i said, this week has been pretty slow. we haven't had a lot of teaching opportunities. All of our investigators keep dropping our appointments! so we have been visiting members and tracting a lot. A week or two ago we tracted into this lady named shelly and at first she was pretty hesitant. We couldnt get her number to call her later, so we told her we would stop by sometime. She just started getting back into church in January and she has been going to this methodist church because she likes the messages. Anyways... one day me and Elder Reay were getting ready to go out and he told me lets not ride bikes this time. im kind of tired of it. so we walked instead. We tracted some street and visited some potentials. Then we said, lets go visit shelly. We walk over to her house and shes not there. As soon as we step off her porch guess who pulls up... Shelly. Perfect timing! and we had like an hour long discussion/lesson with her. She just kept saying how we were on her mind ever since we left and how funny it was that as soon as she started getting into church we showed up... Funny isnt it? If we had rode bikes that day, we would not have met her and not had an awesome discussion with her. She is so Golden! and has so many questions! to bad im leaving... Oh well. she'll get baptized either way. I know it.
Guess what? i bought some swords! hahaha nothing big or anything, but we stopped by this garage sale while we were out and i got them for $8 what a "steel" <--- Get it? haha its been a dream to have two swords in X shape on the wall, and now i have it. but ill probably be sending them home because... well swords with a bunch of elders probably isnt a good mix so expect that in the mail later.
We went on splits with the AP's this last week, and i just tried to learn all i can! my goal for this next transfer is to be obedient with exactness. just improve myself and learn as much as i can!
One of the AP's is leaving this week and hes usually so exhuberent and happy but when we went on splits he was just down in the dumps cause hes leaving. How awesome is that? (in a weird way)
Well i love you family! I hope everything is going well and you're progressing in the gospel! It definitely is true. i see it more and more every day! And i know that if you put forth the effort, you will see it too.
Love you guys!
