This week was a very interesting week.
Tons of emotions and secrets and things to learn about others. I love my
new companion, Elder Cantrell. I didn't really know him before, but he
did always come up to me during meetings and such and shake my hand give
me a firm hello. He is a super, super nice guy. He has a great
relationship with everyone in the ward. He is from Kaysville, Utah. He
is great.
This ward is nothing like any of the other wards
that I have served in. This week was crazy just trying to learn all the
people and all the drama that goes on in it. It's crazy. There is a ton
of missionary work to be done here, which is great. I think that the
missionaries are the ones holding this ward together. No Joke. Their are
a few solid members that get things done. Like the Ward Mission Leader
is really great as far as the work goes, and there is a member of the HPG
leadership that holds things together. I think this ward has about 85%
of its members over the age of 70. I have never seen a ward quite like
this one, but its going to be super fun to serve here. We have a ton of
stuff to do and I have somethings that I want to try and start up in
this ward to help the work and to boost the ward. Hopefully with the Lords help we can boost this ward and leave it better than I found it.
The only struggle that I am going to have with this
ward is the fact that I don't have very long to build relationships since I won't be here very long. I am trying to get to know people the best that I
can. We'll
see how this week goes. Our schedule is packed with teaching
appointments already.
We are the only missionaries assigned to this ward. We are close to Portland.
We attended High Priest group this week and it has a totally different atmosphere than Elders Quorum.
That's it for this week.
Love, Elder Udy
