Helllllllllloooooooooooooo
to you as well! Thank you for the b-day wishes! The b-day was pretty sweet! I am glad to hear that a cake was enjoyed in my honor!
I was hoping you would all go to that fufu place in Salt Lake or something, but
cake is good too I guess haha! You know what? Not only was it my b-day, it was
also Elder McKeon’s birthday as well! He hit the big 2 1, so that was pretty
cool! We went to a restaurant to celebrate the occasion, had some nice Hawaiian
style chicken so it was sweet! Sister Stevenson called and sung happy birthday
to us as well, so that happened! Yep it is 50% USA up the steps, so that is
kinda cool. It
was a pretty good b-day! I mean, I got to run around a tro tro station for 5
hours ;) to answer the question you asked,
we begin at 9 and go until usually 12, but we ended about 2 this time because
it was a nice big transfer! It went well though, just kind of stressful
haha! We gather all the missionaries being transferred, put their bags in
piles according to where they are going, then we have to go and find cars or
tros to take them to wherever they are going. We have to pay for them, we have
to coordinate because there are two stations and some arrive at one station but
need to go to the other, so we are just coordinating everything basically.
Kinda interesting haha. I don’t think this is probably how transfers work in
other places hahaha! But nothing went wrong luckily; I was pretty worried about
that as I had made a few errors when I typed up our transfer plan. But luckily
it all worked out well! Elder McKeon and I shared a good b-day! We went
to the restaurant and then we made the cheesecake you sent, lit the trick
candles and enjoyed it! Yes E. McKeon is from Oregon, not sure the exact place.
He has been out 6 weeks longer than me though. We are getting along just fine.
We went and taught a lesson to an investigator that night and found out it was
his son’s b-day as well! So we were feeling pretty proud about what a great day
the 18th is! The next day we went to go and teach a couple who we just met.
Their names are Ebenezer and Bernice. Bernice was pregnant, but it didn’t look
like she was way pregnant. Well, when we showed up she was sitting on her bed
and we greeted her only to see a baby on the bed next to her...she had
literally just come back from the hospital after giving birth haha! ... but yep
another Feb 18ther. A little baby boy, I told them to name him Hackmeister. We
taught her and she took some pain killers about halfway through the lesson,
then about 10 mins later she was falling asleep haha, those drugs worked! Kinda
awkward... Transfers are always just kind of an awkward week though when you
get a new companion, but it’s all good! E. Odongo went home to Uganda. Not Liberia luckily. Those from Liberia are just
having their missions extended since they cannot go home. That would be
interesting I am sure. We do have a sweet apartment now though, we are having
fun.
Glad
you got the camera card safely! That is so great he was able to take it and
deliver it! Sorry to scar everyone with the dog ones, but come on that had to
be documented! Haha, sorry....Old Yellers time was up! But I will be sure to
take lots of pics and videos as much as I can! That would be so cool to go with
Dr. Meier next year or something! I am sure he had a great time! This is a
great place for sure! IDK what you would be eating when you come here, I guess
fufu is probably gluten free, but IDK if you could eat it with your fingernails
hahaha! Oh well, I’m sure you could figure something out! He stayed at a place
called Coconut Grove; I have heard it is a really nice hotel. You'll have to
look it up! This has been a good week, but it’s really been pretty stressful. I
am not a big fan of transfers, just an ordeal haha. I also am not a fan of
drama, but its creeping back up again so that is fun...Ah well, it’s all part
of life I suppose. We are working to find some new investigators though;
hopefully we can work with the members and make it happen. We visited some less
actives and we were happy to see one come to church on Sunday, and after church
we visited another who left because he was an employee of the church and got laid
off. It sounded like he just needed someone to come and show him some love,
because he said he and his family will be coming back to church on Sunday so
that is exciting! It is so rewarding to see people respond positively to the
gospel!
As
for the school situation, well I talked to Brayden and he is good with it. So
if you could talk to him that would be awesome! I will have to see who else
will be going to USU. I am pretty set on aviation. Sometimes I wonder if I
should do something else, but then I see a plane flying and remember how great
it is. As of now I suppose aviation is still the path! Good luck on the camp
planning, sounds like it will be fun, you will think of something awesome I am
sure!
Well, it’s pretty much
what’s going on. It’s been a pretty stressful week, not too much to report on
though haha! I hope this week will be more easy going, but we have to prepare
for Elder Dube who is coming on the 12th and then we have zone conference on
the 25th so sounds like it will be busy busy busy! But that is good!! I am doing good though, just
trying to get into the swing of things with the changes! Life is pretty sweet
though! Love
you soooo much! Thank you for everything you do for me! You are the BEST!!!!
