This week has been an awesome week! The week feels
like it has flown by but at the same time it feels like it has been so
long. I still don't understand that. Transfer meeting was on Wednesday
It was the craziest day and was kind of sad. Tons of great missionaries
went home. Elder Harris got transfered too. I'm going to miss him but I
am really pumped to be serving with my new companion. My new comp is
Elder Lundeen and he is from Phoenix! This is probably going to be his
last area since he only has 2 transfers to go. I don't know why they
keep sending me all these "trunky" guys! (for those of you who know what
that means) Just kidding he is still working hard and we have really
seen the work pick up here in Fort Payne. I have noticed that Elder
Lundeen is just so good at talking to people and striking up
conversations that lead to invitations to hear our message. That's
something I have seen with some of my last companions like Christensen
and Del Francia and it is something I have really tried to emulate. I
think I am getting the hang of it more and more each day. Hopefully I
will be a pro before too long.
One of our focuses in Fort Payne right now is to strengthen the
branch. It has been going great and we have really been trying to bless
the lives of the members here. We have also found some success from
trying to work with former investigators. I feel like the Lord is
starting to prepare more people here and I feel blessed to be a part of
this work. I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
