Hello again! Today was a good week, kinda slow, but still a good week. On Tuesday we met with our recent convert, and are teaching him the lessons again after his baptism. Later that day we shared a message with a family we reactivated about a month ago. The message we shared is one we like to share with members called Ask-in-Faith. They are an awesome family with three kids, the oldest of whom is seven. Then on Wednesday we met with a couple who asked us to come to their home each week to have the Spirit more. They have recently started to read their scriptures every morning and it has been great! I really look up to them and all that they do. They are awesome people. On Thursday my companion, Elder Robinson was sick so not much happened. On Friday we taught two less-actives. One recently slipped on the ice and broke his ribs so his is recovering and he told us he knows meeting with us is the right thing to do, but he feels the adversary providing opposition to meeting with us. He has already had a very difficult life and we hope we can help him stay on the right track. The second less-active we met with is divorced and has a son who is a junior in high school. We committed them to go to church and we still have to follow-up and see if they did because we weren't able to make it to their ward on Sunday. Unfortunately not much happened on Saturday or Sunday. We got some big news today. Transfers are every six weeks, and I've been in the field for two transfers. This transfer I'm staying in the area I've been in, but I'm getting a new companion, Elder Child. Also we are getting moved into a new zone, so that'll be a change as well. So I'm serving in the same area, Bountiful South, but I'm switching to the Bountiful Zone from the Farmington Zone, and I'm getting a new companion. It'll be interesting, and I'm determined to make the most of this transfer. I love you all! Oh and we just had one last nerf war for all of us Elders that are leaving the zone.
