Transfers, Training, & Baptism... Oh My!

M- I'm doing great! A little stressed but doing alright! They took my car, all my investigators, and my old companion last Thursday, so it’s back to square one, but we'll get the ball rolling again. Oh! I forgot! I need to tell you all how transfers went! So.. I am staying in Redbridge and Training Elder Timmreck, and Elder Marsden moved into another member’s house in the Stanly ward, and he's training a new missionary over there. There’s been a lot more work in the Stanly Ward over the past six weeks, so elder Marsden and I worked almost only with people from Stanly. Turns out that if you don’t do any work at all in an area for six weeks, there’s not too much there when they split the area, not to mention, they moved two new sets of Elders into the Zone, but didn’t give us any more cars so everyone is down to one week on one week off. Things are picking up though! Like I said, it'll take a second but we'll get things rolling again. 

Good Bye Elder Marsden

Welcome Elder Timmreck

I- All of the Investigators that I have mentioned over the past six weeks have been from Stanly, so I don’t have too much of an update on them. I know Elder Marsden has been able to meet with them though, and they're in good hands with him. In Other news Elder Bylund and I got to go down to Allen England’s baptism together! It was so great! I am so happy for him! It was so perfect. Allen looked happier than ever. 

R- Missionaries always need to talk with EVERYONE they come across! I feel like there’s so many times that I’ve passed people on the street without trying to share the gospel with them. Just four months ago Allen was just a stranger sitting on his front porch. He was a stranger that my companion and I almost went right past. Because we decided to stop and talk, his whole life and eternities to follow have been changed forever. 

A- Back to trying to find new investigators. It'll go well though. We have two appointments with potentials lined up already this week. The Lord will bless us with new people to teach. 

C- Elder Timmreck! What a great companion! He's from Stansbury Utah, He's been out for four days and he's ready to go! He was pretty sick for his first couple days in the field, but he's feeling better by now. 

L- Starting over with the twelve week training program again. I guess I just didn’t get it right the first time because President Vest just keeps making me redo it. It’s great though. You learn something new every time. 

E- Umm, I think that just about covers everything… Thanks for reading! I Hope you all have a great week! Please keep prayin for us! We need it!

Love, Elder Cluster
