Happy Father's Day!

I had an awesome Father's Day.  I gave a 20 minute talk talking to the english members and telling them that they need to help us out more. Then I sang with the ward choir for Father's Day. It was grrreat.
Well things here are going pretty good. We had transfers yesterday. So I ended last transfer with 0 baptisms. But that won't be happening again. Monday night is when the APs call to tell people they're going to be doing something the next transfer. So Monday night rolled around and I got a call on the phone. Everyone told me I was going to be a District Leader so I was expecting that. But they started talking and said that the Lord has called me to be a trainer. So I'm training a new missionary right from the good ol' MTC. There were 4 spanish missionaries coming in, and 3 of them were native speakers and 1 American. And I'm the only American Spanish Elder training. So I assumed I'd be training one of the natives. But it turns out that I'm training the American. His name is Elder Cannon. He's from Provo. So this should be a pretty interesting transfer. A lot of growing will be going on. On the down side, nobody came to church on Sunday and I'm staying in our area. So we have a lot of work to get done this transfer. Well Right now we are still working on getting a couple married. We're trying to get her husband to agree to get married. Next week I'll be e-mailing on Thursday again because President Winn is going to be going around to our apartments and talking to us. But my interview with him isn't until July 2nd. Oh and Sunday after I gave a talk in the inglish ward the Bishop asked if we needed blessings. So we kind of said no and then he was like "alright just felt prompted to ask if y'all needed one." So we agreed to get one. And While he gave me my blessing he said that I would be protected from accusations and car wrecks and stuff like that. So that was kind of interesting. I don't know what accusations will be coming my way, but we shall see. Well that's about it I love y'all and miss y'all. I know that this church is true and that this gospel I'm sharing is blessing the lives of many. I know that as we keep the commandmants and do what Heavenly Father wants us to, we will receive blessings. And I know that Christ directs and guides his church. I know that we have a living prophet.

Slow Summer

Well things here are still going a little slow. I kind of wish things would pick up or that at least we'd get some solid investigators. Most of them are dogging us or not showin up for appointments. So I'm getting a little frustrated with that, but I guess it's part of the mission. Hopefully it's a sign of greater things to come. D&C 58:3-4 explains it pretty well. Thursday we had our last interview with President Sonne. Him and his wife came to the apartment and pretty much just said bye to us, and to support President Winn when he comes in and stuff like that. They also gave us their e-mail address and house address. But we can't talk to them until after we get back from the mission. I'll probably go visit them when I get back. Then this Sunday the Young Women’s leaders came and asked us to help them out with their class by talking about how we like to receive letters and the stuff we like to hear when we receive in our letters. So that was a little interesting. but fun I guess. We're just working hard and hoping that we can get a baptism before transfers are over. Transfers are next week. So we need a miracle. I'm thinking about buying a new Spanish triple combination. They have some Italian Leather covered ones that I'll probably get next month. They're pretty nice. Well I think that's about all that's going on. I'm still trying to get my companion to learn Spanish. It's definitely a challenge. Well that's about all.

Last Interview With President Sonne

Things are starting to get warm here which is pretty good. Well things are going decent here. I think we're going to drop most of our investigators. None of them are progressing. We got a few good ones. There's one that is ready to get baptized.  Her husband just needs to want to get married. We're working on a few more right now, so we'll see how that goes. It's kind of disappointing. I think another reason that we aren't having too much success is that it's kind of like I'm doing most of the work/teaching. So it's only one of us teaching and testifying. But we're going along little by little. I really can't think of too much to write about. We have our last interview with President Sonne tomorrow. It's going to be pretty sad, but oh well. It'll definitely be a challenge to switch over mission presidents. From what I've heard, the new mission president is pretty scared right now. So we're keeping him in our prayers. Well I think that's about all going on with me right now. I feel like I say the same thing every week, so sorry about that, I'll keep my eye open for some good stories during this week. I'll see If I can find something.

One Year Mark

Well I can't think of too much going on here. Last week I threw up for the time on the mission from eating too much. The day before I hit my year mark. We're working with a few people to be baptized. They've been coming to church and everything so hopefully they’ll have a desire to be baptized. I can't think of anything going on here. We're hoping to get 7 baptisms this transfer, so we're just trying to work hard. We're working on getting some more investigators.

It's hard to believe this time next year I'll be back home. Not that I'm trunky or anything. So who all will be there when I come back next year? Hopefully there will be some people there that I know. Only 363 days left in the mission. HA.
