Well, this past week was the beginning of a new transfer
and it started off great! This will be my last transfer training Elder
Zaugg, and its been a super fun and amazing experience. But this will
probably be my last transfer with him, so we are going to make it the
best one yet!
Well, some of you may know, but I've been trying to get permission to go home a transfer early for school. I prayed about it and it felt like it was the right thing to do. I had to fill out some paper work, send it to the mission president who will send it to my stake president to get his approval, and then send it back to my mission president. Well I received a text Friday from my mission president, telling me that I have been approved to go home a transfer early for school. So I will be coming home August 13th now! While I know that's coming up real soon, I promise I am going to work my hardest these last 4 months.
This past week we were able to meet with Ethan Gomez, and we were able to finish teaching him all the lessons, so he is now ready for baptism! :) We were planning on the 18th, however he texted us last night and told us that Saturday won't work because he has a wrestling thing he has to attend to. :/ We are going to try to set it for Friday instead, hopefully that will work for him. Keep him in your prayers, we really don't want to push back his date any further. We are going to meet with him Wednesday and discuss these things.
There has been virtually no progress between Vern and Ivy. They are both at a stand still, and we are trying to figure out what we can do to help them best. Keep them in your prayers as well.
President Rehm also texted me yesterday, asking if I sing tenor, and if I would be willing to sing a special musical number for the upcoming mission conference on May 16th. I will be singing in front of the whole mission, and one of the twelve apostles! I am super nervous and super excited at the same time. I still don't know which apostle is coming, and I don't know the details of the special musical number either. Not sure if I will have a solo like last time or not, but I will let you know when I found out. I just thought it was cool that president asked me personally to be a part of it. I better get practicing soon, but I can't yet because I just started coming down with a sickness yesterday. :/ I have a super scratchy throat and it's getting really annoying right now. Hopefully I will get better soon, because I hate being sick on the mission. Please pray for me to get better.
I have to go here soon. I love you all and I want you to know that I know that this church is true with all my heart. I am so thankful to be serving the Lord in Colorado Springs here at this time. I know that I am here for a reason. :) I hope you all have an amazing week!
