This week is the week.
Saturday night I received the news that I am being transferred this Wednesday to the Kimball Zone. My new companion will be Elder Marco who I believe trained my MTC companion Elder Halling. Elder Paetznick will be getting an Elder who came out with me Elder Ellsworth who is a good friend of mine.
In the world of missionary work you could say that these past three weeks have been a hard week, a harder week, and the hardest week of my life. This means that this past week was the best week of my life. We had struggles that we didn't know how to deal with. We were kicked out of a house, several people just stopped talking to us. All in all we had only one thing to do and that is to put our feet on the ground and lift. Even with no one to see we still were able to see so many miracles, that I may not have noticed if it hadn't been for the trials that we had.
On Friday we had Elder Choi of the first quorum of the seventy tour the mission. He gave all the missionaries excellent guidance on how to be better friends with those around us. This is a subject that has been on my mind. As I leave this area and the people that I've met and taught, the memories will stay with me. Even better than that is the knowledge that I will see these people again in this life or the next. I love the wards and members that I have come to know. They will always stay with me.
By the way I've been reading the Isaiah chapters along with the epistle of Paul to the Corinthians and it helps to understand the way Isaiah talks. Lots of the writing I don't understand the words, but I can understand the intent. For example in 2 Nephi 16 Isaiah gives an account of him seeing the Lord, I don't understand it all, but when I read the story of Enos it makes more sense.
FYI I'm probably not going to be taking the table runner with me to my new area. :)
Besides that all is well in Arizona.
