I'm a versatile kind of guy.
This week has been a real change here in Castaic. Having my former companion being in the same apartment as I am in and having another brand new missionary here has been quite the change. Last week, after we emailed, we went to a park where a member of our ward set up a zip …
…the other bedroom in the apartment! There are two companionships (both elders) of missionaries in the Castaic ward + all four of us live in the same apartment. Elder Thorpe is training and becoming the new district leader here, so I am becoming companions with Elder Sponseller. So, all I have to do is move …
We’ve been quite busy this week. Business means a happy missionary! This week we were about to pick up a super solid investigator, but unfortunately, she postponed on us two or three times. Hopefully we’ll finally pick her up this week. She has met with missionaries in the past when she lived in Oregon, but …
This week has been much better now that I am settling into Castaic. I’ve been studying Jesus the Christ the past few days and my understanding and love for the Savior has increased. Our entire stake here is going through the Addiction Recovery Program right now for the first Sunday lessons. Books were distributed throughout …
So…if you haven’t already noticed by the subject line of this email, there was an emergency transfer this week. I’m doing alright, but the culmination of a lot of different situations was simply too much for me and Elder Moon to stay together. I’ll explain a little bit more in a separate email to you. …
Wow! This has been quite the week! We have seen miracles all over the place. Well, let me just break it down from here. Last week, we had a cool p-day activity to get to know the other members of the zone. Previously, the zone seemed to be really divided and nobody knew each other …
Wow. What a crazy week we’ve had! To start it all off, on Tuesday morning I had new district leader training and it was cool to learn how I can best magnify my new calling. I thought we were going to have a fantastic week from that point on. Au contraire! After we get home …
So I’m not sure what God was thinking this week, but he seems to think that I’d make a great district leader, because the Assistants called this week asking me to be the newest district leader in my district. I’m a little nervous about this calling, but I’m sure I’ll do just fine. I guess …
Read the bumper sticker that I read this week. California is a crazy place I must say. I’m not coming home anytime soon, but please don’t move here. There are enough people here. It’s been a slow week this week for us. Christmas season has left a lot of people busy and we’ve been made …
As you could probably imagine, we had our temple trip this week. We went on Friday. It was so nice to see so many missionaries in the temple, dressed in white, doing missionary work on behalf of those who are deceased. We were able to do an endowment session and went through the visitor’s center …
