Hello everyone!
This
past week was actually pretty darn great! We have two more missionaries
in the apartment now, more details on that in a minute!
So
we have spent time this week chopping wood, teaching a lesson to a man
and his fiance, and doing something called splits- where we go out with
another missionary for a time. That was Wednesday; there were some new missionaries that came in and I was asked to go with one of them Wednesday evening and show them some simple things to do around the area, and talking with people.
THEN Thursday
came around, and it was a transfer day! Meaning, some missionaries got
new companions. I got a new companion, his name is Elder Barton! He's
brand new! I'm training him!! (Ah!)
So,
Elder Carlsen (my last companion), is still in the same apartment- but
he also got a new companion. So there's four of us crammed into a 2
bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. It's all good though!
Sunday and Saturday
were largely spent watching general conference, which, for those who
don't know what that is, it is a broadcast of talks that the church
leaders give, put simply.
I love you all, and look forward to hearing from you!
Here are a few pictures from transfer day with his new companion, Elder Barton.
This is from the Boise East Stake President and his wife. They had the group of missionaries over for Conference. Here are the pictures they sent and here is what they said in the email:
We love your sons! Thank you for sharing them with us here in the Boise East Stake! We watched conference together then made some pizza and
talked about conference and got to hear about mission life a bit. We
love them and appreciate their hard work and positivity! They get it! We
love the spirit they bring with them.
This video was also shared but the quality is not great. You can see Jacob flash the "I Love You" sign to us. I love that he does that!
What a great week for him. What a great week for us to receive so many pictures and the video. We are so proud of his hard work!
