late posting of last week's letter

This week was pretty interesting.  We went about doing the best we could to get ready for W's baptism.  He had his interview on Saturday which was a whole hour and ten minutes.  It went much longer than I ever expected.  I did use the time wisely.  The organ in the ward building was a little out of whack so I went about checking the speakers, which were facing the wrong way, like someone had just pushed them to the side of the loft.  Then I started reading the manual on how to adjust some of the finer settings on the organ.  On Sunday we got to hear how it sounded (much better than before).  The first counselor really liked the sound.  It was a fun little way to spend the time waiting for the interview to finish.
 
Transfers were this past week.  And now three of my companions have returned home including my trainer.    In 12 weeks that number will increase again.
 
As the weeks roll on in the ward with not many people interested in learning more about the Church, we had an amazing meeting yesterday with the ward missionaries.  We're going to have a goal that will help the members serve others outside the Church community.  Our focus is helping members bring people to Christ, which could be as simple as a letter and a how are you doing.  It is really going to unite the ward as we put our best efforts into the work.  We have the best ward missionaries.  Sis.F has taken a lot of time thinking about how we can get the whole ward moving, so she is trying to get things started.
 
It has been a very gray overcast week, with lots of showers, and lightning.  That means I've been much happier in the mornings.  Our ward mission leader , doesn't believe that I really do like the rain and the grey skies.  Little does he know that it is what keeps me alive.
 
I love being here and serving.  Have a great week.
 
Love,
Elder Will Davidson
