This week just sucked!

This entire week was just horrible! Not just work wise, but everyone in our YSA is leaving! I am going to miss them soooooo much! I loved talking with them and hanging out with them and now they are going to different areas! BLAH! This is the last week of this transfer and I will probably leave this week so if I am getting package, it better be soon or I may miss it if I am going somewhere else. Still, I feel like I may stay for one more transfer here, but who knows. 

Anywho, we been focusing more on less-actives here because our two recent investigators have been dropped. Andrea is "dropped" because here member boyfriend is telling us to give her space so that she can think about our discussions and all. So we won't be seeing much of her. Our other one is Kevin who was new last week, but we heard he also is moving somewhere else this week. Dang it! Everything that is about to happen that is good just gets turned around and goes the opposite way! It sucks!

To be honest, at sometimes I feel like I am done with this ward. It has tried my patience a ton and I don't get mad that easily. Gah! If I am staying, I am going to probably tell all the ward members that we need desperate help for the work. 

Our district is still getting pretty dang close. I cannot complain. We have fun when we spend time with each other and it is awesome! We have our laughs here and there and I love it. It is going to be sad IF I do leave this next week. This last week did go pretty dang fast. I wonder why as you go longer in the mission, the time seems to go faster and faster! It may be because we are just getting used to doing it over and over and over and over. 

Yesterday was super brutal! We were pretty busy with church and stuff, but couldn't meet with anyone. And at the end of the day I lost my wallet and I was stressing out like crazy! They say that if you stress out then it is a good thing because it shows you are alive, but I don't like this amount to stress. :/ I am sure I will calm down when I either find something to do or move to another area.

Sorry for the bad report this week. This week was probably the worst week ever, but I am moving on and I am sure that no week can suck this bad right? :/. See you all and love ya!

The mission just keeps getting harder...-_-

Looks like everyone is leaving this area because of the summer which is bad. I am going to miss people so much here. But we may get some few new people in our ward because people will also be moving here in the summer. But they still can't replace the people hear before them. :(

Anywho, we found a new investigator for the moment. Turns out he is also moving sometime in the summer which makes me kinda more depressed, but oh well. Easy come easy go.

Our district is getting as awesome as ever. We enjoy each other so much as the pictures you may see on facebook. I am just putting them on facebook to store them, but we haven't got the ok quite yet for facebook, but it is coming very soon. It is just something I do. I don't trust the electronics I have to store my photos so I am posting them on the web so that I do not lose them forever over some accident.

My interview with president was swell. We talked about a few things and it was sweet. I can go to the temple...as long as a member takes us and we can't find a member to take us quite yet. I hope we can sometime. I haven't gone to the temple since before my mission and I really want to go there again sometime. there are two temples in our area and I haven't gone to either of them yet. Anywho, I also asked President about why the mission was changing soooo much! It is crazy how much it changes. He just told me their are different ways that we can touch peoples lives.

Andrea has not contacted us yet on how her reading the Book of Mormon is going...I think she's either busy or trying to get away from us. Spooky. 

That is cool that my package is coming. I hope it comes not right at the end of the transfer so I can use the stuff before I pack up and go to a new area if I am getting transferred. I can also see that I am becoming a better missionary than I thought I was. I can talk to people easily now than before. I guess that will help me pick up a girl when I get home ;), Just kidding!

This week might fly by again like any other week. It is weird that about 4 weeks is a month and the weeks fly by! Anywho, I got to go! I will send another email next week! Love you!

Another fast week flew by and I am 8 today!

Jeez!! Can the mission fly by any faster?! That was a pretty dang fast week!!! I can't believe that it has already happened for 8 months. 4 more and I am halfway done!!! Freak!!!

Well this week we try to focus on finding. Not only is it difficult to find investigators here, but it is becoming even more difficult. Every one is leaving because school is getting out and the people that usually talk to us are leaving. We are very likely to get purged at the end of this transferred since they are combining the YSA wards together and they only really need just one set of elders there. But we are doing as much as we can!

My companion and I are getting along so well! We talk about people we know at home quite often! It is crazy how much we can talk about with people at home. We get along so well and with our district as well! 

President Interviews are actually this week and I am going to talk to him about a couple things and see how he answers to my questions. I love my President however. I heard that he does have 10 kids which is...wow! He is someone I can really open up to and that is crazy that I can do that with him. 

The work has been...flowing. Trying to set up an lesson with Andrea. We committed her to read the Book of Mormon with only her Heavenly Father. We want to see how well she is doing with that. 

It is crazy how much our mission is changing. We are changing how we do goals and all that. I am just overflowed with all this change and it kinda stresses me out like being senior companion. I still can't believe I am in charge. I mean, I was in charge a lot when I was with my friends of telling them what we were doing, but here it is a whole different story. Its like being in charge is a pretty freakin important deal here! Like...my salvation depends on it :/. GAH!!!!

Anywho, I think that is all I have to say about this week. Hopefully my stress will die down next week. Till then, see ya later!!!

Well...

This week was pretty difficult to find work. Finals is about to start and people usually are hard to talk to because of it. However, we are doing our best out here so that we can talk to people. 

We did have a do or die lesson with our investigator Andrea! GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I wanted to die at the begining of that lesson because we watched this weird anti Mormon thing that just...was horrible. Not as in horrible as faith shakening, but like bad as in they didn't do a very good job. After we explained that it wasn't important that she learned those kind of things. We told her the thing she really needs the most is the read the Book of Mormon with Heavenly Father and Him alone so that she may be able to know if it is true or not. It was a good thing we brought our ward mission leader with us because he was really powerful when he was explaining stuff to her. It was probably way better than what I could have said. We are still going to work with her though and see if she needs any more help.

That one referral I talked about with the Zone leaders gave us, yeah she got dropped. She didn't want to get baptised anymore which is pretty sad. I have a feeling it was because I spelled her name wrong. She is pretty easily offended and I feel bad that I did that. Like I am the reason why she didn't want to get baptised.

This area is getting pretty hard to work in. YSA can be fun, but it is difficult to find people to talk to. I am trying to be an example to my companion. It is tough being senior companion making as much decisions as I do. :/ 

Elder Robinson, I didn't know him before no. We didn't know each other at all. We do know people in common though. We do like much of the same music and such. We are both pretty chill. We do hang with the district and give them rides quite often because we have the most clicks. Our district is pretty dang tight. 

Well, other than that we are getting interviewed by President soon. I guess I will see you guys next week! Love ya!
