Transfer news: I am leaving!

Transfer news: I am leaving! The new area where I am assigned is

Tremonton West, and will be serving as Co-District Leader. Elder Mika

is my new companion. I'm going to the boonies!

 

Wednesday: Usually I look back at my planner to help me remember these

days. Unfortunately my planner has been synced with my new area, so I

don't remember much. I think we had a lesson with Junior, he was

pretty cool. His girlfriend requested that we talk about the plan of

salvation and temple... What a good girl friend :P

 

Thursday: So in the planning session last night for this day, in the

planner there was written "Katie & Armando". I had no idea who they

were. I know that I was the one that put it in. However, no idea who

they are. So I prayed, that Heavenly Father could help me remember

them, because they must be important. Well I couldn't remember them

last night, however, when we were in the institute, I was talking with

this girl, and asked her for referrals. Her name was Katie, I hadn't

quite recognized, because there are a ton of Katie's. Shortly soon

after though, her boyfriend came up, I asked him what his name was,

"Armando"!!! They probably thought I was a mad man, because I gasped

loudly when he answered. Turns out they just needed to be followed up

on a referral they gave us last time, but it was cool God answered my

prayer :)

 

Friday: I received word that Tom Greenwood was going to the temple, so

immediately I asked permission for if I could go with them to do that.

Elder Simpson was able to come down as well. Baptisms for the Dead was

great. The temple president at the Ogden Temple allows us to

participate. So I baptized Elder Simpson, and He baptized me. T'was

pretty cool.

 

Saturday: Went to the temple again with Erika today though! This time

it took soo much time! It took us 3 hours to do baptisms for the dead,

we waited forever :( Sad that it was Erika's first time and that

happened. She told us she enjoyed it still which is good. Went to go

eat at Hug-Hes afterwards... Last time eating at Hug-Hes :( There is

when Elder Coronado & Peterson gave us the news, what are we doing,

and where are we going. Elder Alsterberg is going to West Valley, and

he is getting a step-son. Elder Holland was out for 3 weeks, and his

trainer went home, so he was in a threesome for the rest of the

transfer. Elder Alsterberg is going to train him correctly!

 

Sunday: I love fast Sundays they are by far the best! I learned so

much about how much about how our lessons influence members. Issa, a

ward missionary got up an bore her testimony about how she was at a

lesson with us, and when we shared the first vision it helped her with

her testimony a lot. Then right after, Brianna, a fellowship of one of

our investigators, came up and she said how much having us, the

missionaries around has helped her understand how important it is for

her brother to go out and serve, and she never really wanted him to

leave, because she is so close to him.

 

Monday: It was a sad day, but a really good day. We had a lesson with

Sal the Muslim. He such a cool guy, it was really sad telling him that

we can't meet again.

I spent most of the time in MLT though. (Mission Leadership Training).

It was a super good training for me. I learned that Elder Farmer is

going to be my Zone Leader again! :) So excited for that. Elder Mika

seems like he is a lot like me, so I think we shouldn't have too much

trouble with each other. Haha. I was concerned that there wasn't going

to be too much work up there, because all of the rumors of the North,

however I heard some good things from Mika! The rest of the day, we

had lessons galore, like about 8 all back to back, some of the people

I was surprised at their reactions to me leaving. I didn't think we

really had that strong of a connection or something, but when I tell

them that they are getting new missionaries, they are completely

devastated. Makes me feel loved. Haha. Still Sad for them though.

Love Elder Wrathall
