Greenie Spring Training

March 21, 2011

Well transfer calls came on Saturday and I am staying here for my last transfer.  I am also training for my last transfer (poor greenie) so that will be kind of exciting.  I find out who my greenie is tonight and then I get him on Tuesday.  Elder Nunnally (who I have been with since just after Christmas) is going to one of his old districts.  He is going to be really close to the ward that Nick (Anna's friend that we taught that one time... he was atheist) is in so i think he is going to go on splits at least once and teach him.  That'll be cool for him.

 

In other news, Sis. Alba (who we live with) fell off some risers while practicing for some RS production and broke 5 ribs.  She was in the hospital for like 4 days and now she is home.  Our bishop is trying to get us moved out of there so that we can just be out of her way while she recovers.  So I might be moving to a different place in our area this week.  That will force me to have to pack up my bags early... which might be good, so that I know what stuff I need to leave and what stuff I should send home early, etc. so that I'm prepared for the real departure date.

 

We had 7 investigators at Church yesterday.  That was pretty exciting.  3 investigators who we had dropped until health problems got better showed up without us expecting them.  What's even better is that her husband is now very interested in taking lessons and he wants his whole family to be baptized.  This is awesome.

 

So that is about all the exciting things that have happened.  Anna's mom said no about permission to be baptized but they are going to be contesting her parental rights over anna.  If they win that, parental rights would go to her uncle or something and he is really supportive of her getting baptized.  So there is still hope.  If not, I'm almost positive that she will be able to wait until she is 18 to be baptized.  She is so awesome.  She has already decided that she wants to go on a mission when she is 21.

 

Well I think that is about it.  I love all of you!  I hope everybody is doing well. I'll update later about my greenie.  I love you.
