What are you waiting for?

Well it’s hard to believe another 2 weeks has flown by. Last week was a hard week because of transfers. Every six weeks we shuffle the deck and see what the good Lord has blessed us with. This particular transfer was tough because we lost one elder or sister out of each companionship, four went home. It was a lot of fun to teach and work with such great leaders and teachers, it is amazing to see the maturity of an Elder that has been out 22 months and a sister that has been out for 16 months, they are amazing!

Our new group is great but lacks experience, they come out so excited nervous and green. I guess we change our focus and begin to create and shape new individuals in the gospel. I am always amazed at how much better prepared this missionary generation is compared to how it was when I was 19. I am beginning to understand why our prophet tells us this generation has been saved for these times, they truly are amazing. It doesn’t mean they are perfect or mature all the time but they are faithful and prepared. The harvest is ready and they are harvesting with all their might, it is fun to be a part of it and to have a small part in it. I do have to say it is a blessing to not have to change companions every 6 weeks, not sure I could handle that kind of a challenge.

I realize I’m not quite as flexible as I used to be. My sweetheart reminds me often that I still have a few things to work on, thank goodness she is here to help me become better. I pray that those of my friends out there that are thinking of going on a mission to stop thinking and get moving. Day lights burning! There is a mountain of things that need to be done and we need all the help we can get.

There is no better time to come out and serve, you will never look back and say “Man I wish I hadn’t gone out and Served”

Come and Join us!!

P-day. Missionaries didn't get their $$ on their cards so we bought pizza and played games, since no one had money to go to the grocery store.

Family Home Evening Lesson with the Limon Branch. We served with the Elders all day grabbed something to eat before the Family Home Evening Activity lesson.

Marci got a yucky cold, she even kicked me out to play some golf because she said I was pacing and she couldn't rest. Then Brett put on his Martha Stewart skills and made some cookies and we watched the movie the "Boys in the Boat!" Great movie.
