Another transfer has come & gone! This has been one of my favorite transfers that I have had my entire mission for so many reasons! I love my area, I love my companion, I was able to see Casey & Chantyl, the work is flourishing, I get to go to the temple...There are so many great things that have happened in the past 6 weeks. It fills my heart with gratitude to be apart of something so great. Another reason I love this transfer is because we just received transfer calls...I'm staying in my area with Elder Martinez for another transfer! I was a little surprised, but very excited. After this transfer, I will have been in my area for 6 months, a quarter of my mission! I love this area so much. The members are awesome & the work is progressing so well.
I am also excited for this upcoming transfer because everyone in our zone, with the exception of us & one other companionship, will be training new missionaries. I'm so excited to work with them & help them to learn, adjust, & grow. Working with & teaching other missionaries is probably my favorite thing to do in the mission. It's incredible to work with a missionary, not see them for a few transfers, & then see how much they have progressed since you last worked with them. It's such a great feeling.
Our work is going so well right now. We have a couple of investigators who are preparing for baptism. One of them is Joy, the investigator that Casey & Chantyl were able to meet. We also have a young man named Arniel who is preparing to be baptized as well. Yesterday, Elder Martinez & I found a few new investigators that are really excited about the gospel also! Needless to say, the Lord is leading us to those whom he has prepared.
So much always seems to happen during the week & sometimes I can't remember if I have already sent you stories & experiences or not. The days seem to just blur together. I am a little bit sad that Elder Glines has finished my mission, but I know that he gave it his all & served his heart out. He was an awesome missionary. Right before he left he told me that he would send me pictures of him at all of the greatest places in St. George. I'm excited to see them. The new AP who took his place is actually my trainer, Elder Walker! It's great because we are all right here in the city & we usually go out to eat a couple of times a week with them, so I'm excited about that.
Well, that's about it on this side of the world. Thank you all for sending such awesome pictures! It sounds like you all had such a fun week! I uploaded a couple of pictures as well. I love you all!
Elder Staheli.
