Hey Hey Hey!
SO this last week was transfer week and I now have a new companion! He is
Elder Geminert and he is 6'5 from Temicula California (I don't know if I spelled
that right but mom might fix it if its not haha) He has been out 14 months and
he just came from being a Zone Leader in the Albany Zone. He is truly a boss! I
have learned so much so far and have been even more obedient with him as my
companion this week. I sadly do not have pictures for you this week like I said
I was going too... but I am hoping by next week that I will cause Elder Geminert
loves taking pictures so there should be some good ones coming your way soon!
:D
The last couple days have been getting more cold, more windy, and it rained
pretty hard yesterday which sucked because when it rains here in upstate new
york....it does not get cooler like it does back home....it gets super humid,
warm, and muggy....which as a missionary who wears a white shirt, tie, slacks,
and a rain coat with a shoulder bag...it makes it even worse haha but we have
been able to get a hold of a lot more people this week! Even though we had a
super slow week with people moving and the normal stuff that happens to
Missionaries on a daily basis, we are excited for what we were able to
accomplish and for what we are going to accomplish this upcoming week.
I will be honest I don't know what else to put in this email since not very
much has happened this week at all besides church, and tracting.... haha which
is something I have done A LOT recently in my last few areas. What needs to get
done needs to get done no matter how hard it is or how much we really don't want
to do it. "I told you it wasn't going to be easy, I told you it was going to be
worth it."
I have really been able to see how much over the last almost 20 months now
I have actually changed myself and how much I love doing what I can for anyone I
come in contact with whether it be fellow missionaries, friends at home, family
at home, people I have met in other places, or the people I have been blessed to
serve in my current area, and how much the gospel has touched my life and it
really makes my heart and soul swell when I see, hear, or read about the gospel
and or the Lord has touched other peoples lives in some shape way or form. I
know that is how our Father in Heaven feels when we do what we can to share the
restored Gospel with those around us and help them come closer to Christ and
utilize his infinite Atonement so that one day they may too return to our Father
in Heaven and we can all be reunited as a Heavenly Family. That I guess is what
you can say is keeping me going and keeps me wanting to do my best every day is
all of you both whom I know and love and have met, those I have heard about and
haven't met yet, and those I have no idea who you are, I want you to know that
God is your Heavenly Father, and he knows you by name and loves you more than
you will ever comprehend and wants to do all he can for you so that one day you
can come and live with him again. I love you all and will talk to ya's next
week!

Love
Ya's!
