Week 51

What's Up Friends And Family!? 

I got a call yesterday at around 4:45 pm today, and I'm going to be staying in Hermiston for another transfer. Elder Steele, one of our current Assistants, also told me that I'm going to be called as the Hermiston District Leader. Elders Springer and Eastham are both being taken out and are being replaced by another set of Hermanas (Spanish language sister missionaries). My district is myself and Elder Skinner (3 transfers together!) and 2 sets of Hermanas. I'm looking forward to seeing how things go in the future. I've never been in an area this long. Six months is a long time to be in one place.

Another funny thing happened this week. For whatever reason, Elder Springer and Elder Eastham really wanted to get a model of their hands in wax. They proceeded to buy a ton of wax, melted it, then kept dumping their hands in boiling hot wax in order to have their hand models. They kept screaming in pain and yelling about it. I decided to try it out because why not? If anyone knows me, enough said. I dumped my hand in the wax, and I gave no reaction to it. It was hot and all, but not bad enough to make me scream or anything like that. I think their pride was a little bruised when I did that, but it was funny. 

We've been doing pretty good with our people too. We have their trust, and we're gonna be making a push to teach and baptize them soon. Shanna is doing pretty good, and she is all set up to have a job for Uber. That is awesome for her. A couple of our people have been sick, like the Jon’s family. We haven't been by to teach them for a while, but we enlisted a member family to contact and fellowship them. 

That’s about it for this week. I am excited for this challenge of serving as District Leader and that I get to continue to work with the people here in Hermiston.

Thank you for the support and prayers. The Gospel is true.
