I can’t believe that another transfer
has flown by. It seems like I just blinked and it’s over. Being with
Elder Stone has been pretty good, we got a lot of good work done.
Transfers always make me a little sad. I think Change is just hard, no
matter how long you’ve been on the mission, when you leave or get a new
companion it’s always hard to make that adjustment. I’m glad that don’t
have to hold my breath ever 6 weeks for the rest of my life, haha.
Elder
stone got a transfer call, he’s heading out the the Filipino ward. I
think he’ll enjoy it a lot. I know I did for the 6 weeks that I was
there haha. I got a call from the assistants and it looks like I’m going
to be training. They switched up how they did training calls this time.
Normally if you’re training you’ll get a call on Thursdays, then they
have a training meeting on Friday, and you pick up your greenie on
Tuesday when they arrive. Thursday came and went so I already assumed I
wasn’t training. When transfer calls came that’s when they told me. They
switched around so now I won’t pick up my son until Wednesday. I’m
excited, but also a little scared. I just already had it in my head that
I wasn’t training so it really threw me. I’m going to try and be nice
to him, but I remember all the crap I got when I got when I first came
in from older missionaries and my trainer. I’ll be nice, but I’ll still
mess with him for sure, haha. Good luck buddy.
Steve
got baptized on Saturday! It was super awesome. This has been a long
anticipated event for Steve and us. We had a few ward members come, it
turned out pretty well. The only problem was that the water heater went
out. Luckily for me it was Elder stone who did the baptizing and not me.
Stone kept trying to be positive as he felt the water in the font. “
it’s at least room temperature so it won’t be that cold” but I could see
the fear in his eyes. I could f help but laugh a little as Stone and
Stephen winced as they got in the water... the water was pretty cold,
definitely did not feel like “room temperature” to me. Steve gasped as
he came out of the water, it was a memorable baptism for sure. I’m just
grateful that I didn’t do the baptizing this time, haha.
This
week has been good, there’s a lot of changes going on in the zone.
There are so many new missionary’s it’s crazy. The mission has changed
so much in the last year and a half. It’s almost unrecognizable to what
it use to be. I’m still loving the mission and the Lord. It will be
interesting to be a trainer, it’s a little intimidating, but I’m sure I
might figure it out.
Thanks for all the support,
Elder LeBaron
