Another chapter...

2008 December 01

So for those of you that've been keeping count, it's been 6 weeks since las t transfers, which can only mean 1 thing... transfers is tomorrow. On that front, I have some news... For our zone, we're having a grand total of 3 transfers. The first is that Elder Marchant, who's been up here forever, is being transfered to Silver Springs. To replace him, Elder Nielsen is being transfered in. The secon d is that Elder Kearl, who just got here 6 weeks ago, is going to Gardner ville. His replacement as PZL is Elder Dahl (yay!) who's ...

Well, maybe next week will make sense...

2008 November 24

This has been a long week. I'm still trying to figure out everything that's going on... Sometimes things can get waaay confusing. We had a couple of lessons, which went pretty well--we set one of the families we're working with for the 13th (of December)... which was awesome... until they didn't come to Church. So now we've got to figure out what's going on... hopefully we won't have to reschedule (well... it was also kind of tenative...). Beyond that we really haven't had much on the front of lessons, and we had a bunch of interruptions, ...

All quiet

2008 November 17

This week has been considerably quieter than last week. Mainly because it was shorter. Last Tuesday was rather quiet. We didn't have dinner, but we did have a lesson, which was nice--although we had some car issues that we ended up having to deal with before we got there. We did have a good lesson, though, so I guess it was all ok (note to self: make sure all the lights are off in the car before going in for the night...). Wednesday had district meeting, which was good, as usual, and some work, an ...

1/3. Also, 20. Also, Elder Kikuchi

2008 November 11

Well, it's been a fairly eventful week here, both workwise, and also in terms of various milestones. The first really major event this week was last Wednesday... which is 8 months to the day I went into the MTC. So I'm officially 1/3 of the way through. I'm not exactly how this got here so fast, but I'm just trying to convince myself now that it will all be ok, because it'll be another 4 months until I get to halfway... so I have lots of time. Workwise, things have been going well... we've had ...

Adventures in Halloween and rainy weather

2008 November 03

So we've opened some new territory here. It's getting COLDER. And it rained Saturday night. We were tracting Saturday afternoon, and we had some minor run-ins with dust clouds. We've had to start wearing coats a little bit. Not a lot of interesting missionary work this week. We're pretty much out of investigators (they're in the branch, or they're baptized), which makes for very boring weeks. Of course, now that I'm in charge, this is pretty much my fault. Well, not entirely, but I figure that if I keep thinking about it that way, I'll figure a ...

Running (well, trying to run) the show

2008 October 27

This has been a rather interesting week. A lot of new and interesting things to deal with. First off, I have a new companion, Elder Hachey. He's from Cardston, Alberta, Canada, although he grew up in Toronto. He's also pretty much fresh out of the MTC. Other new challenges also include having to do all the navigating at this point (I've had a little fun with that--the not-straight streets make it more interesting than I'd like sometimes, though), and dealing with a little confusion about which car we're supposed to have... somebody thought t ...
