Hey Mom,
I totally realized that I forgot to add my
address when I walked out of the Library. It's 2001 Sterling ct. ste. A
Findlay OH. 45840. This may be temporary though. We have been talking to
President about moving the Zone leader area down to Lima. They just got
a new Bishop a few months ago and he is really fired up about
missionary work and is promising that he will be having the Ward Mission
process working correctly and asked if he could get a second set of
missionaries. The original idea was to send sisters down there but he
didn't think that would be good because Lima isn't the best place for
sisters haha. Their boundries would have to be out of control to keep
them out of the Ghetto. But now, instead of moving it from two to four.
He wants to move it from two to six. He's just waiting on the Bishop to
e-mail him back. It seems like it's pretty for sure but I'm trying to
not count my chickens before they hatch. The sisters Idea may be a
little later than us but that will be okay. Elder Judd was trained there
so we are hoping to go down sometime this transfer so we can pick up
some of the people he use to teach!
My interview went well. We talked about school
and he said that I will have to talk to the new Pres. when he gets out
here in a few months. so we'll have to see what happens then. I guess
for now we can just plan on me coming home when Planned on right? haha.
I'm sure Jordyn will be glued to me. I am the
favorite brother in the entire family. lol I'll have to see what happens
depending on work and school. If I have work. I have been thinking too
that it might be a good idea to get an intern or a shadow at a dentist
or an orthodontist to see if that's really the Career path I want to
take. I don't want to get into a job that is un-enjoyable. If there is
no basement when I get home I will just keep my clothes in everyones
closets throughout the house and sleep on the couch or something. I will
be like a vagabond within our own home haha. It's all cool. I won't
have much stuff to worry about. I probably wont be coming home with too
much Either.
Things are slow here. The ward isn't really
warmed up to missionaries. about a year and a half ago... maybe a little
more now there were some pretty disobedient missionaries. pretty much
just one who destroyed all confidence in the missionaries and now they
are pretty hestitant to help out so when we do have members in our area
they are almost reluctant to work with us. It's very slowly getting
better though. Who knows. We are really hoping to go to Lima. We are
stoked when it comes to that Idea haha. For example. This ward promised a
baptism a month for each companionship in 2010. Which they did with 24.
the next year they had 12 and so far this year they have had a whopping
0! things are not going the right way here with the ward. they don't
deserve or even want two companionships right now. so we are hoping that
instead of putting sisters in Lima, They move us there and then wait
for the transfer to be over and move sisters here to Findlay and get rid
of the Elders here and just have one set of sisters for this ward. We
think that would be a wake up and a good oportunity for missionaries to
regain the trust of the members and really actually be able to work and
do what is needed you know?
Anyways... haha not too much else. I love ya
mom. You are the best! I sent you a letter today and you should be
getting it in a few days. Hopefully things will pick up and go better in
regards to getting the basement and yard done.
I also attached some talks from Elder Bednar
and Brad Wilcox talking about Grace which are really good and then I
believe Elder Mckonkies last talk that he gave at General Conference.
They are definitely worth reading.
