New Beginnings

Monday- We had a lesson with our investigator Terry, who we hadn't seen in a while. We got in there and Elder Terril just started rebuking him and basically told him to get his crap together. It was Awesome!!!

Tuesday- There was a mission leadership conference call today. Every single Elder in my district is either a zone leader or a district leader for next transfer (except me of course). Everybody just came over to our apartment and did the call, so I just sat on the couch and wrote in my journal.

Wednesday- Probably the most stressful day of my mission. We had so many people to see, and not enough time to see them all. We had a lesson with Sister Hunt about listening to the Spirit. She still doesn't want to set a date for her baptism, but she'll pray about it.

Thursday- Transfers!!! Elder Terril and Elder Seastrand took a couple hours to pack, then we left for the church. The transfer van was super late, so that gave us some more time. I got to talk to Elder Siddoway for a while. That man is such a man. The transfer van finally showed up and I met Elder Zonts. He is awesome!!! Elder Morgan is Elder Coy's new companion. He is hilarious. I said goodbye to Elder Terril, then we went home. We had a dinner with a member family, then we went and taught Kent. We had a super good lesson with Kent and helped him see how much love God has for him personally.

Friday- Tonight was rough. We were going back and forth on our bikes, trying to find people to teach. No body could talk tonight, but we did set up a lot of appointments, and our legs got a good workout, cause we are men.

Saturday- We went to BOB (Breakfast Out Back) at Brother Sellars place. He does this every year in anticipation for the Collard Festival of Ayden. Ayden is a small town, whose claim to fame is Collards. Elder Zonts got to talk to a lot of members. We went back later in the evening to try to talk to people at the festival, but it was to loud.

Sunday- There were three baby blessings today. During one of them, the baby started wailing, and they couldn't get her to stop, so they decided to do it after Sacrament. As soon as they got off of the stage, the baby stopped crying haha. I think someone is afraid of being of being in the spotlight. It was pouring rain while we were biking. We went and visited Brother Johnson. He thought we were insane. He's such a funny guy. We got super drenched. It was legendary.

So...yep. Elder Terril is out, and Elder Zonts is in. Elder Zonts is a super good missionary. I'm really excited for this transfer. Our teaching pool is kind of diminished right now, but things are starting to look brighter.

Love you all.
