Ok, hang on, you went to Yellowstone?!?!?!? I'm super
jelous. I just told Elder Harrison and Sora Remsberg what happened the last
time we tried going to Yellowstone. Those are all awesome pictures! I love the
King Tut one. Was that in Idaho or Wyoming? Is that actually King Tut's body?
That's pretty cool if it is. And Amanda looks so happy! I still can't get over
the fact that she just got married.
Oh, and woopeee for college stuff being
done! Thanks for taking care of all that stuff! Now I just have to wait until
October to find out if I get accepted. Last thing, about the whole trip
to Salt Lake City/seeing Heather thing, I think it would be awesome for one
thing to go and see everyone in Salt Lake, and that would make it a lot easier
and cheeper for Heather. It would also be really cool to try to fly her into
Durham, but I understand the whole money thing. Also, since she's graduating in
December I really want to be able to go to that too, if at all possible. Just
some things to think about.
Back to missionary life, this is the last full week of the transfer, meaning that next Wednesday is transfer day. This weekend we'll find out who's going and who's staying. I really hope that Elder Harrison and I stay together one more here in Arad. I wouldn't really want to pack up and move just six weeks before I go home and have to get used to a new city, district and branch. Plus Elder Harrison have a lot of good things going in our area and a lot of ideas for doing things to help get the church more known in Arad. One of our ideas is trying to put on some kind of an interfaith concert. We just met with a guy named Florin yesterday who is a well known composer, danser and actor here in Arad and does a lot of volunteer work as well to talk about some ideas he had for projects that we could do. We'll see how things turn out.
As for investigators, it's pretty much the same old story. Everybodies really busy or out of town. We haven't seen R--- once since our last lesson that was back in the beginning of the transfer. Things are just going pretty slow right now, and we're just trying to make the most out of what we've got. However, for some reason the fact that things are going really slow right now aren't really bothering me that much. I think part of it is that I just have a better understanding now about what missionary work is like here, and what beeing a successful missionary really means. I feel like Elder Harrison and I have been working our hardest and doing our best to carry out the Lord's work here. Not to say that we couldn't improve in some areas, because there's always room for improvement, but we're trying our best.
Zone conference went really well! Our presentation went really well, and we both learned a ton preparing for it. Elder Harrison and I also did a musical number of him playing an arrangment of "Come Thou Font" and us singing together. I would send you a video of it or something, but I don't have anything. At the zone conference there was an alloted time for departing missionaries to bear their testimonies and since this was my last zone conference I was one of those who got up and spoke. There was also Elder Martin and Elder Tefft from my MTC group, and a few other elders from the MTC group above me. It was a very spiritually rich conference. As was church yesterday! All the testimonies born were powerful and the Spirit was very strong.
Thanks again for all the pictures! I'm glad that you all were able to have a good time at Yellowstone and visitng Dad's friends in Idaho. I love you all!
