Hello everyone, so good to hear from you and read the emails. makes my day to here that you all are doing well and happy. I am doing awesome, i got lots to fill you in on and inform about and not too much time! :) but here we go to start off i will answer and comment on some of the things in the emails you sent me. I am still liking the quick sets and they are working good, so keep doing the normal with those and i will be happy, thanks a ton. I will be refilling my Rx today, they are ready i just need to get them so i will be stocked up for a while! :) Thanks for all you do and making everything possible, appreciated greatly.
Wow you sure know how to make me trunk out...haha. just kidding, i am still focused but it makes me smile that you are setting up some potentials for me for when i get back! haha, I'll need all the help i can get, i am sure ill be a little socially awkward! ;) Hope to hear from them sometime, that would be nice.
So this week has been crazy busy. there has been so much going on in the zone...we have a companionship that makes me feel like i am back in high school again. haha, they are struggling but things are working out. today has been really enjoyable, Brother Hyer took us fishing this morning on the salt river. we caught one little trout and that was all. it was fun to just be outside and not have to be any where or worry about anything. it was really cold and raining but we stuck it out like real fisherman. :) I love the Hyers and their family so much, great people who do so much for the church, he has inspired me and will be a life long friend, I feel blessed.
The zone activity went really well. everyone came and we had a good lunch of BBQ beef sandwiches and just hung out for a while and then we went into the members theater room and we called president last week and he approved for us to watch 17 miracles. it was so awesome. every body was pretty touched by the stories and the spirit that was felt. it was cool and i think that every one really enjoyed it. got zone shirts done and all liked them as well so we cant complain! :)
Saturday night we got transfer news and i am really happy with everything that will be happening. A little stressed for sure but it is exactly what i need to keep motivated and focused and continue to grow like God wants me to. I am getting transferred and will be going to Scottsdale/Phoenix but mostly Scottsdale. I will be white washing a area there and training a new missionary. There is only one elder coming in this transfer so that's kinda crazy that i will be the only one in transfer/trainer meetings. it will be kind of interesting to see how it all plays out. president when he called me told that there were going to be some challenges and one of them was going to be with my companion. when we saw his name on the incoming elder list it is really hard to read and has some different letters, like a "a" with 2 dots above it. Someone told me that it is German or something like that. haha so who knows what i am getting, he very possibly wont know any English, but we'll see on Wed. :) I am really relieved to not be a zone leader any more. when i found out it felt like 1000 lbs that i didn't even know was there was lifted off my shoulders. Feels good and i am happy with the transfer. This will be my last companion. Trainers are with there greenies for 2 transfers now no matter what so he will send me home. really crazy, i never thought i would be doing this, any of it, the whole end thing doesn't even feel possible to me right now. but ready or not... i will be sure and fill you in fully next week when i have things to fill you in on. i know i will be in a car and covering 2 wards! Wow that will be weird, lot less members out there and the area is a lot more spread out. it will be a new adventure, seems like everything on the mission! :)
Not looking forward to packing all my crap but i really don't have that much stuff so it won't be that big of a deal, just a little time. :)
Hope your all doing well and happy and safe. it has been cold and dreary here, hope your getting some of the sun that has left us! Hope you have a great week see lot of sweet things this wonderful time of the year! :) Small acts of service can be someones answered prayer. peoples hearts are softer this time of the year so always extend invitations and warming smiles! you all keep safe and take care, your always in my prayers. please pray for me as i take on this next challenge! Thanks so much for all your love and support!
Love,
Elder Lerwill
