Well I am getting transferred tomorrow, and I am going to another bike area, so woo. I don't have any idea where I am going to go, but I really don't care these days. I have been out long enough to know that it really doesn't matter what I want or think, but it’s where I need to be and that is where the Lord sent me so that is where I will be. I have been in North Hollywood for 6 months, I was Granada Hills for 6 months and I was in Newhall for 4 1/2 months and in Valencia 3rd for 6 weeks or 1 1/2 month.
So yeah, I am old in the mission now and everyone tells me my favorite line “oh wow you are really close to being done”......... it is insane. I have realized that if I don't blink then time can't go by so thus I have taped toothpicks to my eyelids.
Well we had a good week, it rained and so we didn't do too much, the first part of the week. Then we had the temple trip on Wednesday, and then on Thursday I won a fight with a Prius (I am fine). I realized why I got in a fight with the Prius in the first place is because I can't hear them. I always hear cars before I see cars. That is why they would be the perfect vehicle for ninjas. But I ran into the front end on the side and body checked the hood and then landed on the ground and the first thing I say is, “I am ok! Is the car ok?!” and the lady said what? I repeated, “Was the car ok?” She said uh yeah but are you ok? I was fine, so I left. I had dented the side a little and dented and scratched up the hood as well, so yeah that was fun.
We had a baptismal interview for one of our investigators, Angel. He was the young man we found back in August, and he passed and got baptized on Saturday. I confirmed him a member of the church on Sunday, so that was cool. I was nervous because I don't know, it never really hit me that he had gotten baptized and that I was going to confirm him. So I forgot to look at the way to do it except I remembered that you say receive the Holy Ghost. One of the stake president councilors was in the circle, he is in our ward, reminded me in the confirmation to say I confirm you a member of the church so that was nice. But yeah, so I have baptized someone and confirmed someone. Now I want any other baptisms to be by ward members and same with the confirmations.
This has been a good area for me. The Lord blesses us for our hard work as well as when we have trials he blesses us. We went to a funeral this morning for a man that was in the ward that passed away on the December 5th. I had given him a blessing on Thanksgiving. He was a wonderful man that was 93 so he had lived a good life. He was a strong member of the church and everyone had nothing but great things to say of him and there were many people there, would have been more but they were waiting on the other side for him. It was just a wonderful service.
Well my trainer is going home this transfer as well as another companion, so two companions in one transfer.... sounds like two birds one stone. Ha-ha, but Elder Ehninger and Elder Mudrow are going home, it is sad to see them go but they will do well.
Merry Christmas and to all a good week!
