Hey!!!
Well mom, I'm glad you didn't kill half the youth in the
ward! That's always good news. And Dad, I'm glad you finally got to give your
talk. Sounds like you guys have had a...well, actually it sounded like kind of
a boring week :)
Haha Martin will be glad you don't think he's an
indian...but yeah I have no idea why he said that. The bad news is.... I don't
know how to tell him that. He passed his baptismal interview on thursday,
but...his son came to see him friday night and then apparently the 2 of them left
town together and nobody knows where they went or when they're coming back, if
they're coming back. So, baptism didn't end up happening. So...that was
slightly disappointing. But my companion and I feel like we've learned a ton
from our 2 weeks with Martin. We were kind of upset when we heard he left but
we've sort of been studying what happened and now its all good.
Also, we got transfer calls last night and I'm getting
transferred. I'm going to an area called Rodeo del Medio (I think thats what is
called...honestly I don't totally remember) in a zone called Maipu (haha... I
still kind of laugh a little every time I hear the name of that zone). From
what my companion tells me, that area is basically the middle of nowhere, but
he's not positive, so we'll see about that. He's also met my future companion
(Elder Kaman...I think thats how its spelled) and he says he's pretty cool and
is from Wisconsin. So thats pretty exciting. I have kind of mixed feelings
about having to leave Drummond, but at the same time I'm excited to go to a new
area.
As a verse of the week, I was thinking of Helaman 10:4-5(kind of 1-12). In verse 1, Nefi finished preaching to the people and leaves to
go home, but on his way got this revelation. In it, the Lord told him that he was
blessed because of how diligently he had worked, and that because of his
unwearyingness he would be blessed for ever, and then received some really
awesome promises. All because he worked diligently. But he worked hard not just
for the blessings, because right after that revelation, he turns around (verse
12) and walks right back to the people to start preaching again. That was AFTER
the blessings. He wasn't working for the blessings, he was just doing it to be
obedient to the Lord and to help his brethren. I don't know, I just thought it
was a cool lesson about diligence.
So yeah, all good here. Hopefully you guys have a great
week, and hopefully I'll have good news about my new area! You guys are awesome
and I love getting emails from you.
Love
Élder Webster
