Or
the eagle has sprung, as the case may be. I am being transferred to Eagle
springs, which is in the Summerwood stake. Sad to be leaving Welsh behind,
there are some really awesome people here. But some other missionary will get
to enjoy their time here, just sharing the love.
My new companion is
Elder Safsten, and that is about all I know about him. I do believe that he was
called to Sweden and came here to wait for his visa to be approved, and for the
borders to open back up.
This week was good! Us
and the other elders spent a couple of days putting together a video that we
could have ward members share. If you promise to laugh with us, and not at us,
I'll share the link. Missionary Video
We received an
internet referral early on in the week. Usually that means that the person saw
an advertisement and clicked on it and requested that missionaries visit.
Anyways, we called him up and he hung up on us, but we decided to go out to his
house anyways. We ended up meeting him, he said he hadn't requested anything (I
don't know how else we would have had his whole name, phone number, address,
etc. Maybe he was drunk when he requested it) anyways, we taught the
restoration to him, just briefly while standing there. It felt so good to be
testifying to someone in person! I was just on a spiritual high for a while
afterwards. Made me realize how much I missed just normal contacting. To finish
off that story, he did accept a copy of the Book of Mormon.
Sunday we had church
services again for the first time in...months, I honestly don't know how long
it has been now. We were all masked and spread out, but it was good to be
back.
Monday we said
good-bye to the T__’s, our branch mission leader and his family. They are
awesome, and they just adopt missionaries in as part of the family.
Well, that is most of
what I have for this week. A little weird to be writing this on Wednesday, but
them’s the kicks.
Adieu from Louisiana,
and Howdy from Texas, once again
