Transfer calls was a wall for
me today. First off, my companion Elder Williams is getting transferred.
That alone was a hard one to take. I love that guy. Second, I'm
becoming DL again, but our district is being split. It's going from 12
to 4. It's now going to be just our ward, and our ward lost a set of
elders, so it's just us and the sisters. Almost all of our mission
leaders will be going home soon, so President Shin mentioned today in
the conference call that he's trying to train new leaders. I'm guessing
that's why a bunch of new districts opened up. It's a shame though, the
bigger districts are always nice. Plus, we might be getting more elders
in our ward next transfer, we're not sure. Funny thing, I'm serving with
Elder Esplin again. I served with him exactly a year ago, and we're
companions again. We'll see the April General Conference together, just
like before. He's an awesome guy, and I love how honest and pure hearted
he is. One funny thing is our house will seem huge with just the two of
us. We might get moved.
Either way, it's a lot of change. And I'm bad at
change. Still, I'm excited. I love this ward. I'm convinced I'm here
until I go home, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The leaders are
incredible, the city is beautiful, and I've learned a lot here.
Everything I had thought about writing just left me. (Tends to happen during transfer week.)
We
went to a beach last P-Day, made a little message card for the members
of our ward with ideas for how they can share the gospel, met a lot of
cool people. But it's been hard meeting investigators recently. That's
been a test of faith, but I'm looking up. I want to make a difference
here. I want to help others come unto Christ. I know He's guiding this
work, and I know that it will continue on in His time.
I'll sure miss Elder Williams though. He's
powerhouse. At first, I'd expected that he'd be transferring. He's been
here for a while, but the more we served, the more hopeful we became
that we'd have one more.
I'm
having trouble thinking today to be honest. So many thoughts going
through. I can't say there's ever been a relaxing transfer day. It's
gotten to the point where I don't think ahead of it much, but it's
always a surprise when it comes. This transfer felt SO FAST...
I love you guys, I miss you a lot, but I'm excited to be
where I am. I hope conference was good, I'm looking forward to hearing
it this week. Until next time!
