Fwd: Forgot



Dear Family,
Well this was not the fastest week, Elder Volk is my new companion. He is a pretty rad dude from Waldorf Maryland. Hes a geek like me so we get along real well. Most of this week was spent settling in and meeting the ward. We got a couple of opportunities to teach this week which was AWESOME!  We taught a part member family, The Irish's, about  charity and we read the BoM with Lyndell. Many people showed up to church this week that never come so that was really cool! Things are looking up. Just enjoying the Blessings of serving i guess. Its pretty darn cold here too.  Thats about all i got. Finished the War chapters again this week, reading in Helaman and the old testament. (and studying PMG of course). Also getting the ward more involved seems to finally be working so were stoked!

Fwd: This Week



Dear Family,
Well it is transfers, Unfortunately Elder Crapo will be leaving me and finishing his last transfer in Ventura. Right next to president, yikes.  haha I am really going to miss him, But hopefully  i can spend some time with him, after the mission. I am staying here in Bakersfield and getting Elder Voulk. I don't know him, so we will see how that is. He sounds pretty cool. 
    This week was spent kinda wrapping things up and trying to stir up some more missionary opportunities, unfortunately i don't have a whole lot more to say about that, But i am looking forward to helping this ward really push missionary work and make it  a priority. 
    I just really hope we find someone solid to teach this transfer, before all my energy is drained. But if not i am content with where i am at, I know i am working hard and that is really all that matters. And besides, I can honestly say that i feel like i am preparing to be a better missionary when i am home. Ive learned a lot, and i feel like i can help many of those at home.
Thats about it. Love yah. ttyl
