Nov 25

Transfers for reals!

Well, my companion is leaving me. Yet again.

I always pray to stay in my area and to keep my companion. (I'm selfish, I guess), and it's always sad to see one go, but that only opens the way for one more friend eh?

So, my new companion is Elder Ellis, from Pleasant Grove high school (yep, right next to home!). I'm sure we'll soon find all sorts of fun connections and be wonderful friends, but I've only actually seen him once or twice, so for now, he remains a mystery. 

The rest of the week was, well, typical. Filled with miracles, and let downs, joys and sorrows, everything that is part of the daily life of a missionary, but the END was something different. We have a young man in our ward leaving TODAY to go on a mission to France, and we were able to go through the temple with him when he received his endowments, and to be with him as he was set apart. THAT, was cool. It reminded me of my own preparations to serve, and I felt those embers still burning brightly inside me. What a sweet experience.

In other exciting news, we had a baptism in our ward the other week (the sisters investigator), and we'll be having another one here in the next couple weeks! If you're going to pray, pray for Theophile (Tay-oh-fill), our Ivorian investigator, who is preparing for his baptism on the 8th of December. We'll keep you posted. 

I love you all! Have a good week!
