Dear
Family and Friends, Monday,
February 16, 2015 at 12:54 p.m.
First thing first, I am being
transferred, tomorrow. Sorry for the poor heads up, but I am being transferred
on the 17th. I am going to Woodland Washington and my new companion will be
Elder Smith. Elder Williams is staying in Camas.
Do not send me any mail to any
address in Camas! If you already have in the past few days, I am sure the
Elders here will find some way to forward it to me. Please address any mail for
me to the mission office until further notice.
The weather here has been sunny and
warm with clear sky's. We have enjoyed the sunshine and awesome views of mt
hood and mt St. Helens.
Monday - preparation day. Not much
to tell, played basketball, etc.
Tuesday - had a lesson planned out today. They canceled last minute.
Wednesday - we had a lesson. We talked about who God is, the
Book of Mormon, and coming to church. It was a really good lesson.
Thursday - we had a zone meeting
this morning. We dropped by the an investigator later today. We talked about that and about their travel plans this summer. We also asked
her why she first let the missionaries in. She told us that she normally would
not have let them in, but she felt that she should. She said that God works in
mysterious ways, and sent the missionaries to her door. We had a lesson with the later tonight. We taught the plan of salvation.
Friday - weekly planning day. The
farewell dinner for the missionaries going home this transfer was held today.
Elder Rothwell is going home and attended the dinner. So elder Morris came with
us (elders Morris and Rothwell are companions). We went to a dinner in Fern
Prairie ward. They invited some of their friends over. It was an awesome
dinner. The whole dinner the nonmember friend was asking us tons of questions
about our missions and what we believe. He basically asked for a Book of Mormon
and said he would read it. It was pretty cool.
Saturday - had no lessons set up.
Lots of Tracting and stopping by.
Sunday - pretty normal Sunday for
having two wards. An investigator got interviewed for baptism today. His baptism got
pushed back again to March 6th (for scheduling reasons). There was
some sort of youth thing on the night we had planned it. We had a lesson today and talked about priesthood and missionary work. He is so awesome.
He has had a pretty tough life. He is ready for baptism.
