I'm Not Dead

 

Hello friends and family!

 

It's been a good 6-7 weeks since I wrote, and it's been a good time here in Frisco! My new companion is elder Humphries, we're starting our second transfer together now. He came into the mission in January and started in Decatur, the same district as me, so I had already met him before we were companions. He's good, we're doing a lot in our area.

 

It seems like my old district is following me to Frisco, we have like 6 of us in the zone here that were all in the same district last winter. The mission is splitting at the end of the month and our leaders have been working really hard to prepare for it. It looks like I'll be in the Dallas North mission when that happens since Frisco will end up there. The north mission will include, Frisco, McKinney, Denton, and Sherman. I can't remember if Plano is going to be in our mission or not, but it might be. Don't quote me on that.

 

I'm a district leader right now. My district is super chill, all of us are in leadership. My district has our social media leaders, sister training leaders, and the aps. It's nice that everyone's pretty much on top of it, I don't end up doing a whole lot other than run district councils. I don't even end up doing many exchanges since the only elders in my area are the aps and they're always busy.

 

I'll know for sure what's happening with the mission split in a few weeks, I'll for sure write again then, but I'll try to write more frequently too. I'm going to end the email here for now, I have to get ready to get back to work this evening. Love yall!

I'm Training Again

 

Hello friends and family,

 

It's been a while since I wrote and a lot has happened. About two weeks ago we had transfers and elder Smith left Gainesville and went to train a new missionary in Aubrey. Our areas border each other, but hes in a different zone now so we don't get to see each other often.

 

I'm also training now here in Gainesville. My new companion is elder Hall. He served a few transfers in the New Mexico Farmington mission before being sent home for health reasons and he's been a service missionary in this mission since then. He just got approved to proselyte in his home mission with the possibility of being sent somewhere else later, and I'm his new trainer.

 

It's funny, I've trained twice now but both of my trainees have had unusual circumstances. Elder Smith had a different trainer his first transfer and elder Hall has already been trained before.

 

Elder Hall is doing great, he was worried at first, unsure if he would be able to handle proselyting, but he's already grown a lot and I'm confident he'll do great for the remaining 9 months of his mission.

 

The work itself continues to move forward. We have several lessons almost every day, and we're being led to find those who are ready to receive us. We had a lesson with a guy named Angel this week. He's really looking for truth, and he came with a lot of questions for us, mostly regarding the restoration and church history. He came looking for light, and we answered his questions to the best of our abilities. We plan on continuing to meet with him and help him find the light he's looking for.

 

There are many other people we have the pleasure of teaching right now, and they're all progressing at their own pace. Some are pressing forward with confidence, and others are finding their footing, but they're all taking steps towards Christ, whether they realize it or not.

 

Everyone have a good week!

We went on an exchange with the zone leaders at the end of last transfer, elder Cragun and I got a picture in front of the welcome to Oklahoma sign.

 

 

One of our members had these napkins at their house, they were a birthday present she got this last year.

6 More Weeks in Gainesville

 

Hello friends and family,

 

Another transfer has gone by, and Elder Smith and I are staying in Gainesville for another transfer together. We don't have all of the details yet for this coming transfer, but we should be getting another set of English elders up here tomorrow. We helped set up an apartment for them this last week, so we'll see who ends up there.

 

With the new missionaries up here, our area will probably be splitting. It's a very large area, so that's probably for the better. Wherever I end up here, it'll be a good time and there will be work to do.

 

The work has been going well recently, we have our friends Brad and Kelly who are both progressing right now. They're both great, and they both love talking. It's sometimes hard to get a real lesson in because of how much they talk, but we do our best and they both love our message.

 

This week will be a fun one, hopefully there will be lots to write about. Have a good week!
