TRANSFER NEWS:
Bad News: I am no longer a District Leader :( I was only a District Leader for one transfer, and I loved it!
Good News: I am now a Zone Leader.
I am
actually really scared to be a Zone Leader. I went to a meeting in San
Antonio this week, they call it M.L.C. (Mission Leaders Conference). The
meeting is for all Zone Leaders. It was really awesome, but I felt
pretty weird the whole time because I was the youngest person there
(mission age). I was the only person there who wasn't to their year-mark
yet.
I'm really nervous to be a Zone Leader already, but I am also
excited! It's going to be really fun, and I already know I am going to
learn A TON.
President told me I was getting
transferred a few days earlier than usual, so I was able to tell people
at Church. The First Counselor announced it over the pulpit and then
called me up to bear my testimony haha it was awesome. I am really going
to miss Marble Falls. I have learned and grown so much here! I have
made some really good friends, and met great examples to me. The First
Counselor made me promise to the ward that after I get married, I will
come back and visit haha.
So make sure that no one sends me anything this
week, because I am moving! I will give ya'll my new address next P-day!
**DO NOT SEND ANYTHING THIS WEEK**. Also, I tend to collect a lot of
random stuff that I don't need on my mission, so i'll be sending home
another box (or two) this week.
I had my final District Meeting this week, haha also
only my third District Meeting. I'm going to miss it. I love this
District so much, we are all so close. We had a lot of fun at District
Meetings. My current companion, Elder Kunz is taking over as District
Leader here, he is going to do great!
The work here is going excellent, it's hard to
leave. We just met this week a man named Milo (me-low). He is such a
stud! He's like 27 or something and he just moved back from Idaho. While
he was there, he had met with missionaries and even wanted to be
baptized, but he couldn't because he was on parole. But, now he is off
of parole! So, we are teaching him and starting to teach the family he
is living with and we'll get them all baptized in no time!
I'm going to miss Elder Kunz, it's not fair that we
were only together for 3 weeks. We got along great haha he is such a
goofy guy, we are always laughing about something stupid.
Baptism is like giving a starving person a big
feast. It will keep them alive and is the only way they can survive (be
saved). But if they don't eat the feast, it doesn't mean much. We must
eat, bite after bite after bite. Too many people think they are "good to
go" because they have gotten 'the feast'.
We need to keep our baptismal covenant active, by enduring to the end.
I love ya'll very much!
Pray for me, as I pray for you!
