I'm a versatile kind of guy.
Our week started off in a way we could not imagine. We got a call before knockout on Tuesday from the mission president saying that the Elders covering the east side of our area got emergency transferred out and that we would now cover the entire ward (whether this is permanent or not, we know …
Yesterday (Sunday), the Church started this year’s Christmas initiative “A Savior is Born.” It’s beautiful. There are several videos on it that will help you to increase your faith in Jesus Christ. It’s viewable at http://christmas.mormon.org. This upcoming week is going to be a Nativity Festival in Burbank. We are going to be helping with it …
It has been a difficult transition into this new companionship. As I mentioned earlier, I knew about transfers before others did. My new companion has some challenges that are forcing me to do a lot more of the work–finding and teaching especially. We are beginning to adjust, but it’s slow though. It’s another small ward …
Unlike 99% of the missionaries who received transfer calls on Saturday, when we had interviews with the mission president this past week, President Henrie told me of my transfer a few days earlier. I will be going to North Hollywood, serving with Elder Moon. He just so happened to be companions with Elder Clark at …
Wow…this week has been quite a change in the weather. It has gone from decently warm temperatures to the weather I thought I’d laugh at Californians for thinking it was cold. Instead of making fun of Californians wearing jackets at the temperature of 65 degrees, I now am forced to bundle up as well. Speaking …
I can’t believe that it’s Monday again. It seems as if preparation day was all of a day ago. That said, it’s once again time to email home. We were unable to pick up a new investigator this week, but that is fine. We were able to see progress in other areas. One of our …
I can’t believe it’s preparation day once again and that the transfer is already half over! In the words of President Thomas S. Monson, “When we’re busy, time seems to fly by far too quickly, and the past six months have been no exception for me.” This week, we struggled to find a new investigator …
It’s been a crazy week. It’s been nice to see it from a fresh perspective though. We were finally able to pick up a new investigator this week. His name is Wendell. He told us that we could come back on Thursday. So, per his instructions, we did. He wasn’t home at the time he …
So not a whole lot of success again this week, but we’re just chugging along. We met with Brad again this week. He’s struggling again, he lost his job again and was drunk when we met with him. It’s hard seeing him (and others) who we meet see the benefit of meeting with us and …
I guess it will not come as a surprise that I’m staying in Chatsworth again this transfer. That said, I’ll backtrack a little. On Tuesday night, Elder Midgley was dropped off at the mission home. I then went into a trio with the Elders in the Tarzana Ward (Elders Evans and Long). I have been …
