Hey Everybody!!
Sorry i didnt get an email from ya this week. Hope everything is going great.
Alas, i have been transfered. I miss the city and the people we have been working with. The ward is great, and the people we have been teaching are prime children of God; truely.
I have been sent to Nashua NH, with Elder Householder. He is from Thatcher, AZ. We are shotgunning the area, meaning they transfered both the ZLs there, and put us in. Elder Householder is a new ZL, but he is a very fast learner, so its been a very smooth transition for the both of us. We have were able to contact and meet most of the ward council, even with Gen Con. Its been great; we are really excited to be working here, and we have already seen so many miracles. We have been teaching a few ladies and one of them has accepted a soft baptismal commitment. She doesnt want to set a date yet, because she wants to wait for her husband and daughter to come around.
Its weird teaching anybody now. im so used to focusing on 25-35 single males, that its strage to have to worry about the shaperone rule and such. Its cool though, because there are so many more potential people for us to teach, that we wont have to refer.
The apartment we live in is really nice, and it has raquetball courts. We played that today, and man is it fun.
I was bummed to leave cambridge however. Scott Carey, the innactive guy that i told you we have been working with for so long, has finaly started to dedicate himself. I love that guy, and i wish that i could have been a part of teaching him, but i know that he is in good hands, and that we will stay in touch. We really bonded, and it was sad to leave. Unfortunately, like you know mom, really working and keeping old ties is somthing that cuases me a lot of anxiety. i dont know why. im so wierd. lol we all know that. geeze.
Well, how great was Gen Con?! we had such a powerful lesson in between sessions, and then had some investigators attend, and you there is no doubt that they didnt have questions of their soul answered.
Well, i love ya and miss ya. I like the pics of the dog. its like a piece of candy. i thought it was fake at first. hahaha. well, ill ttyl!
