My final transfer has arrived and it has begun with a bang. To start, on Tuesday Elder Daugherty and I said our last goodbyes and went to the transfer spot. From there I spent the day in a tripan with two other Elders waiting for their respective companions in an area that none of us belonged to. It was a good time and we were able to help out an old lady whose knees gave out on her at a stop light we were crossing at, and have a lot of good spiritual discussions that day. By the end of the day Elder Pace came into the area and we were able to meet with our ward mission leader and introduce him to our main investigators.
The next couple days consisted of teaching various investigators, fellowshipping important members for Elder Pace to know, and some contacting. It was a very busy time and a nice change up for the area. The next big event happened on Saturday though.
Our mission participated in what we call a 9 to 9, where the entire mission went out and tracted from 9 am to 9 pm. To begin, we had a mission fast on Friday and we got going on Saturday. Every three hours or so we would switch companions as well as switch areas we were tracting. In the end we found 15 new investigators in our area, 85 as a zone, and 521 as a mission. We knocked on many doors, met some cool people, and it was a busy day.
Sunday we had church but the big thing was Mother’s Day. It was great to be able to call home and talk to my family! Now I only have a couple of weeks, a baptism, and then the end will come. But until then I will continue to work the best I can as well as share my testimony of Jesus Christ and His restored Gospel to all those I can share it to, because that is my greatest duty as a missionary. Thank you for all that you do!
