Hellos everybody,

 

wooooh it feels like its been forever doesn't it?!

 

Anyways I'll try to run you through a quick update of things down here. Fastest transfer ever with Elder Hernandez. Things are looking medium well for the work we have some good things happening. I got a confirmative call Thursday night that I am still training so transfers are this Wednesday and I will be picking up Elder Myers. Don't know a thing about him other than his name. I think we are picking up another 14 sisters this transfer?! They're coming so fast that half of them are training after their first 6 weeks. 6 more weeks and the first of the Spanish sisters will arrive. With more coming in October I believe. Whole bunch of other weird stuff going on with transfers I'll spare you the details. Looks like the assistants to president are going to be moving areas maybe. Pretty decent chance they could land in the Little Rock English area or in other words across the parking lot from us and one of the missionaries that has been there will become the new assistant. Not gonna lie that would be nice to have them right there. They have unlimited miles on their car and its just never bad to have friends that have a say in things. Not going to make a big deal out of it. Doesn't matter that much but it might be nice.

 

Elder Hernandez is sad to be leaving this area. I think he asked president if he could spend his last 7 months here because he loves it here so much. He got a little sad when he found out I was training last Thursday but he's doing good now.

 

Other Spanish in our district had an awesome baptism this week. There was a semi-active member who had a lady move in with him and then they got in contact with the missionaries up there and they taught em and then this past thurday they got married and baptized. So now they are doing things right. So they baptized the lady and her teenage daughter. I did their baptismal interviews which was a pretty cool experience.

 

I don't know what else really to say.

Spiritual thought for the week: read your scriptures. I work really hard not to judge people but you can tell which active members read their scriptures and which don't. Those who study are just filled with the spirit. There is really just a visible difference. You don't need a lot of time we're all busy but make it a spiritual experience. Just read 'em. Its awesome I promise.  You'll be happier.

 

Love you all, take care and say a prayer for Elder Myers. The first week is tough.
