dearest family and friends,
what can i say about this week
other than i feel so blessed! my new area is all that i could ever ask for!
holy cow, it is a missionaries paradise! haha like i said, it is like the
"bush", but think of it more of like the "country". thats
what i feel like it is, just maybe 60 years behind america. haha at least in
the sense that people have legit homes and all that they lack is electricity
and running water! man, i cannot tell you what a blessing it has been to
actually teach a lesson inside a home! sure, it was darkish and we were sitting
in lawn chairs, but we were inside a home! i took my boots off! and there were
drapes and even creepy stuffed dolls sitting on a bookshelf! ah, my new area is
wonderful! it is very big though, and we will be doing a LOT of walking from
what i can see. the homes are spaced far apart and investigators are a bit less
in number, but its still sweet! Baptisms are less in this area, but retention
is better and we focus a bit more on less actives! i love it so much.
my branch is so very strong!
compared to point four, i am so excited to serve with these people! we had
about 90 something people at sacrament meeting! in point 4 we had maybe 25 not fully committed people. not trying to be rude, im just trying to emphasize the
reason for my excitement :)
it has been kind of difficult changing
areas. new area, new investigators, new members, new companion, new apartment
and whatnot, its just like moving! but i know i just need to be patient and
within the next few weeks ill be adjusted. like i said, there is so much potential
in my new area!
well, outta time this week.
thank you lauren for your letter! it was nice to hear from you! take care, do
some good damage to the world my friends!
til next week,
elder fairwell
