Hey!!!

 

I had a really great week. Transfers were yesterday and I didn't get transferred but I did get a new companion... Elder Walker from Texas. He just turned 18 in October and graduated early so that he could come out and serve! It is going to be awesome! I am so happy to be training again. I really feel like it makes me a way better missionary.

 

We also were able to set a baptism date with Leatha!!! Once again such a spiritual lesson! We went to the Visitors Center at the temple and then after we went around in there we went over and into the Atrium inside the lobby and while we were in there the spirit was so strong and that is where we were able to set a date with her. She is going to be baptized on April 13th. She is ready to go!

Sorry that last weeks e-mail was short and crazy. Elder Wohlleben and I went hiking at multnoma falls and that took most of our day. It is way beautiful there! It took a lot of convincing and positive peer pressure to get to the top because we had to hike on a muddy trail to the top but it was worth it... And the supper crazy thing about it was that my old district was coming down as we were going up so I got to see Elder Byam.

 

There are a lot of really good things that are starting to happen here and the ward is so excited to help us. Over the past two weeks there have been three ward missionaries that have gotten their calls here. They are on fire and really ready to go.

 

And to end off with....

 

Once upon a time there was a German Missionary. His companion was from Idaho. The German was the driver of their mission car and the Idahoan was the backer uper. Late evening on the Gernmans last day they had to back up so the Idahoan got out of the car and was guiding the German Missionary. The German wasn't watching as the Idahoan was guiding him so when that one from Idaho told him to stop he didn't. Much to his suprise there were plastic garbage totes and he backed into them. The German was so embarased that he forgot to put the car into drive and backed into the tote again. The Bishop (also the owner of the cans) was out in the front yard at the time of all these events and was laughing and clapping. From that time on the German watched the one from Idaho much closer as he guided him.

 

Thanks for all that you do for me!!! I love you all very much!!! have a great week!  And Hoppy Easter!!!
