Hello Family,
Soo...I got
transferred for my last 6 weeks. Not sure why, but it should be good.
Lots to do. I am in the Milwaukie Stake now in the Oatfield Ward. I
haven't been here for very long, but I can see that they have a bunch of
stuff going on. Lots of people to teach and they have an investigator
with a date for September 6. I look forward to actually meeting her and teaching her the lessons.
I am still on a bike. My companion is now a guy
named Elder Cantrell. He has been out on his mission for about 8 Months.
He is a super friendly guy. Even before we were companions, he would
always say hi to me and give me hugs.
This last week was pretty good. I said goodbye to a
lot of people. I got a lot closer to a lot more of the members in this
area than any of my others I think. Not sure why that is, but it was
tough to say goodbye to a lot of them.
We have district meetings every week. As district leader I
always get to conduct those and put them together every week. Its kinda
tiring sometimes, but its not bad. At first, I was pretty nervous doing
it, but now I kinda have it down to a system. Things are always easier when
you have a general outline of how it works. In my new district I have 2
sets of Sisters and 2 sets of Elders, including us. Its a bit smaller of
a district, but I am looking forward to it. In my last district there
was a sister (Sister Schmutz) who was there for the same 6 months that I
was, she got transferred out this week just like me. I got home yesterday
and found out who was in my district and found out that she got
transferred just one ward over from me so she will still be in my
district! Crazy...right? Luckily, she is a good missionary and super
nice.
In my last area we ate with members about 75% of the
time. Our ward mission leader wasn't very good at passing the calendar
around, and sometimes he went out of town so those weeks were sparse
also. In my new area, it looks like
they are pretty good at feeding the missionaries weekly. I don't know
for sure though. The goal is to try and have a meal everyday with members.
Anyways, I guess that is all for this week.
Love, Elder Udy
