sounds like... well, not an unusual week for you guys. the work here is definitly in a tansitionary step since now we have so many recent converts that we have to help the ward support, its going to be interesting seeing if the ward can support them. speaking of which hows that recent convert family doing? you guys should have em over for dinner or FHE or something!!
this week was pretty good. it was wierd since i pretty much knew i was leaving. especially this last couple days. then this morning we got the call and sure enough im gone. im going to.... somewhere to be a district leader. President asked me a few weeks ago if i was ready for a change so i figured id at least be getting a new area.
Staceys baptism went really really well. got him dunked on the first try. then on sunday he received the holy ghost. hes doing really really great. theres a meeting i dont know if ive told you about but its called why i beleive and its a testimony meeting for recent converts..basically. anyhow Staceys going to be speaking in that meeting on sunday, i just hope i can make it.
well i still gotta write back to dad
i love ya

i wanna take this time to express my deep appreiciation and love for ether chapter 12. it is an amazing chapter, especially when pared with mormon 9 when youre thinking about miracles. theres so much good in that chapter. one insight on weeknesses from that chapter that Elder Varner brought to my attention is the idea that we can pray to have our weeknesses shown to us. ive also noticed it has that ever familiar challenge to "come unto me" like in the last few verses of matt 11 suggesting the very notion that Elder varner expressed.
well like i told mom i got the transfer call this morning. i wonder what blessings ill see in my next area of labor. all i know about it right now is its going to be different from xroads and im going to be a district leader there. so thats interesting. hope i do good.
this week was good much like weeks past. there was this guy who randomly walked up to us the other day and asked for a ride to church. turns out he had investigated here for a LONG time then moved to cumberland and then was incarcerated. i hope the new elder and Elder Ericksen can help this guy, he seems pretty sincere on the get go, i just hope he keeps out of trouble. i dont think i ever worried so much about people keeping out of trouble and not doing stupid things until i became a missionary and especially when i started working here.
well im gonna go. i hope you have a great week
love ya
john
