I am getting transferred. Wow. I honestly never thought it was going
to happen, and I was going to be okay with that. I have grown to love
this Ward and the people of Round Rock, Texas so much. It is kind of
weird to think that I just got to this area before Christmas, and now
it is almost Halloween. Who would have thought that this would be my
home base, 2.0. 10 and a half a months in one area almost makes you
feel at home.
So where am I going to? Cibolo, Texas. Sound familiar? It should! That
is one of the three area that I was trained in. I was there for five
weeks, and I loved it. Now I am hoping to enjoy it once again, with my
new companion, Elder V. He is from Tonga and was on their
national volleyball team there. It will be fun to work with him. He
has been out for a very long time and he is known as one of the
hardest working Elders in the field. There's many great things to look
forward to in the upcoming weeks.
This week has been wonderful. We found a lot of new people to teach,
and it's a nice way to send off the area to the new missionary coming
in. We have also made a lot of progress with those who we are
teaching.
The highlight of the week though was the Old Settlers Ward primary
program, which featured almost 100 children betweeen the ages of 3-11
singing about Jesus Christ and teaching us great truths about the
restored gospel. It was very well done for consistently mainly of a
group of kids who can hardly get a frame of tag going for twenty
minutes yet alone be a part of a fifty minute program. It really was
beautiful though. All of the songs sounded great and some of the older
kids even wrote talks about Jesus Christ, Joseph, Smith, temples, and
other things. You can truly feel the spirit come from these little
children. It reminds me of one of my favorite scriptures
"And their little children need no repentance... But little children
are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of the world; if not so,
God is a partial God, and also a changeable God, and a respecter to
persons" - Moroni 8:11-12
Today I don't have much time to write. I've been spending much of it
packing, since I'm going down to Cibolo tomorrow. Have a great week,
enjoy the blessings of the atonement, and enjoy the weather wherever
you are. It is still nice and hot down in Texas.
