Tucson--#23

Hola a todos!

 

Oh do I have a surprise for you guys! I am staying in the Picture Rocks ward but I have also been asked to train a greenie and also to be the new district leader. You can start sending letters back to the Anthony address. Too much responsibility for such a small boy haha. My greenie is Elder Johnson and is from Oregon. 29 missionaries came in this transfer! Elder Wynn went to the Coronado Ward in the Tucson North Stake. Not much has happened this last week. A couple in the ward got married on Saturday so we are going to start teaching the wife and daughter.  They have been slated to be baptized twice already but the whole "marriage" thing put that on hold. The husband, Paul Olive, has been a member his whole life but has been inactive for a good amount of time. He is a HUGE Polynesian with long scruffy hair. I want to run away whenever I see him but he is a teddy bear when you get to know him. Brooklyn is still slated to be baptized on March 2nd. She has to attend church 1 more time though. President's main goal in getting us to teach 20 lessons/week is to get members more involved in missionary work. I feel like some member referrals are on the horizon and we already are seeing some members be outstanding missionaries. We should have at least three baptisms this transfer. Elay is still iffy and is giving me too many gray hairs. We are almost at the point where we will leave the ball in his court to make a decision. Looking forward to this week. Thanks for all of the prayers and support!

 

 

Love,
