Yo family....
So in my new area with my new companions. It is awesome here. I love it. It is good stuff.. There are some pretty rough area's around here.It is sweet. I'll be safe though mom, don't worry about it. The Lord is protecting us.. There is a lot of... lets say international influence here... Mostly from India, Africa, Israel... Anywhere you can think of. It is here.
Oh I don't know if I told you but I have two companions right now. Elder Newman and Elder Langi. Elder Langi's comp never came out from the MTC. So it is all three of us. Elder Langi is from Tonga. I love it. I have been learning all kinds of Tongan.. Like Koficia...MEans I am hungry.. It is good stuff. We hope to get him for the whole transfer. We live in an apartment so we just have to squeeze everything in a little tighter and it is good stuff. We stay soooooooooo busy because our area is really busy right now and We are covering Elder Langi's Area right now as well. We don't have enough time to breathe...A good way not to focus on home! So this area I am in has just been off the charts with how good it has been doing. Right when I got here, We set high goals, and all the sudden our investigators started droping us like crazy. It is definitely a trial. But we will be a whole lot more solid in our faith after this transfer. It will be good stuff.
We do have a new investigator lesson tonight with a man named Chris. We don't much about him. But we are positive that it is someone the lord is preparing. We have several new investigator lessons set up this week. So it will be good. We are going to perservere through the trials..
So my new companions are making me run every morning again. It sucks. But is really good for me. I am still doing my pull up program and My companion said that I am looking way stronger than I did a few months ago! haha yeah! that is good news eh?
There is this kid in our ward that looked really familiar, and he served his mission in provo. We figured out that he was the little skinny elder that had dinner at our house from calgary right before I left on my Mission. Crazy huh? Small mormon world. I thought that was pretty cool. He is in Franklin park YSA ward.
It is weird to think that this will be the last area of my mission. I feel like I have had just perfect spread across the mission. I have never served in the same zone twice and I have been to some pretty AWESOME areas, and I am finishing where I have wanted to serve my whole mission...
Oh by the way, mom and Dad or anyone are you going to be around the first week of October? There is a family coming down and I am going to try to convince them to take home a bag for me and get all the heavy stuff that I wont need for the last month of my mission...That would be sweet eh? They are going to be staying in Lehi so we will see if they can take something down for me.
Well we got a late start on p-day due to cleaning a disgusting apartment that is now spotless. So we are going to take off. I love you all and Will talk to you later..
