April 16, 2018 - 20 Minutes!! (& 5 MONTHS!!!)

Well this past week has been pretty uneventful it seems like but as I type more will come I hope. Elder Rogers is being transferred to the Lebanon zone. My new companion will be Elder McElmurry. It's weird to think that I will have 4 companions in 4 transfers. I must really need to learn some things and quick too. The coolest thing that happened this past week was yesterday (Sunday). We have an investigator named Rob who really has struggled with getting out of the house to come to church. He messaged us asking us a question and we reminded him that church starts in 20 minutes! He said I can make that - I will be there! And he was. That was his first Sunday at church and he absolutely loved it. He had such a great time and had such a spiritual experience. So hopefully he will keep coming! Its been raining almost nonstop this week, so I am excited for the sun to start coming out so that I can dry out. haha

I have started to read the New Testament in the mornings and it has been such a blessing to see how the Savior would act in different situations. He truly is the perfect example for each one of us. The stories in just the first few books where I have got to have been so powerful and it radiates with the spirit. I love learning about the Atonement of Jesus Christ but even more, I love learning about the impact that it has had on other people. I want to hear some of the impacts that it has had on your guys lives so share them with me!

Today we took some of our p-day to help somebody move! It was so worth it though because of how much I always learn from that man! He has so many cool movie props and swords and all sorts of cool stuff. I can't think of much else though so I think that's about it!

Um ya... TRUCKS!!!!

• Tomorrow we are heading into salem to drop off elder rogers and pick up the new companion. the new companions name is elder McElmurry i believe is how you spell it. i have heard of him before but dont know much about him. I've heard he's a great guy! He is coming from Lebanon Ysa. He will be the senior companion and the new district leader. Elder Rogers is going to 3lakes down in Lebanon it's south of Stayton. I don't know how many new missionaries are coming in if any are. 
• its unusual to have 4 companions in 4 transfers let alone my first 4 transfers. 
• Because of some experiences I've had, I know this is where I'm supposed to be!
• We see the mission president 2 times a transfer. We have zone conference once every transfer.
