I know I have been pretty
bad about sending out a weekly email, but I’m going to try and be a lot
better in the upcoming weeks to keep you guys updated. Sometimes it’s
hard to write emails and explain what’s going on, it seems like
everything has just meshed into one event.
There
have been some changes going on, it feels like time is just going so
fast I can’t keep track of the days. It’s already been a transfer since I
picked up Elder McDaniel. Unfortunately, I got transferred to another
area today, and I am now serving in Alhambra. I just want to stay in an
area for a little bit, it feels like my last two just flew. I definitely
wasn’t expecting to get transferred this time around... I was only in
this area for 2 transfers, 3 months just isn’t enough time I feel. I
really started to love the ward and the people I was working with. All I
have to say is, I’m really loving the mission. It’s hard, there are the
ups and the downs, but it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done. I think
when you start getting comfortable that’s when president transfers you,
what a bummer haha.
The area that I’m serving
in is very Asian. We also cover parts of East L.A and Boyle Heights,
I’ve driven through before, so I’m pretty excited. It’s ghetto around
these parts. I’m ready, bring it on.
It was
pretty hard saying goodbye to all the members, but it was especially
hard to say goodbye to one of my recent converts, Steve. I got pretty
close to that guy. He was so good to me and my companions. I also will
miss Elder McDaniel, I couldn’t have gotten a better son! (Trainee) I’m
sad I won’t be able to finish his training, it’s okay, because one of my
previous comps in the field and also in MTC, Elder collings, will
finish his training. So that’s okay with me, technically I think that
means he’s getting trained by his uncle? I’m not sure how that works,
but anyways... it’s all good. Just starving and thriving out here.
The
Lord has really been blessing me a lot. I have been so humbled with how
things have been going for me lately. I’m especially grateful for
serving a mission. It’s kind of funny, because I already feel like I’m
being blessed for my service even though I’m still doing it. I’m excited
to see what the Lord has in store for me in the latter part of my
mission. I’m trying to become the man he needs me to become. I hope that
when I come back it seems like I changed at least a little bit haha. 
I’m just getting adjusted to this area, but I’m expecting some good things from Alhambra!
