well I left Lagrande on Monday and I got to Jerome/Twin on Wednesday!
My comp's name is elder Perdue and he's from Dallas Texas! he's a pretty cool lil
guy :) haha he sang in the BYU Men's Choir for a year before he came out so
thats pretty fly. Haha I'm gunna get him to sing to some of our investigators
;) but ya he's super spiritual and very prepared for the work! Haha he is still
really quit and very nervous but the awesome thing is even if he's terrified to
talk to someone he'll do it if I ask him to so that's awesome! It'll be a good
transfer! So we have a 3 week transfer right now! which is pretty crazy! aha me
and Perdue wont get transfered at the end of it but there will be 35 new
missionaries comeing into the Twin falls mission! thats crazy! So ya everything
is changing pretty quick! President Cannon goes home in a week and President
Curtis is coming to be the New Twin Falls mission president! It'll be neat to
see all of the changes but its pretty sad to see P-cannon and sis Cannon leave!
They've done their time though lol!
So Jerome!!!
Its a town about the same size of Lagrande just outside of
Twin Falls! Me and Elder Perdue cover 3 wards who all meet in the same building
which is super cool! it makes sunday's so much easier because we don't have to
drive around all day going to meetings in different buildings! The area is half
rural half town. The farming area's are super cool! The people are just so
humble and love the Lord! our wards are pretty fired up about missionary work
but theres not a whole lot of work going on.. The last missionaries in the 2 area's
that had our wards were ether super lazy or spread way too thin so there wasn't
to much happening in any of our wards but thats ok! Me and Elder Perdue are
going to work like crazy and get this place on Fire! Our Bishops Thompson,
King, and Radford are way cool! and they are so ready for more missionary
attention! So we are ready to get it done!
Our ward Mission leaders are freakin sweet too! Bro Perry,
Wight, and Walker! They all said they will come out with us whenever we need!
Probably the best thing going in our area is a ward missionary Bro Black!! he
is so awesome!!! He went out with us on Saturday in the middle of his family
reunion! He pretty much talks the gospel to everyone he meets and he is the
fellowshiper for like 7 of our investigators in his ward! I'm excited to work
with him and get some stuff done! There’s definitely alot of potential! We
teach alot of teenage kids of inactive parents and we are excited to get them
coming back to church and get some baptisims! We had a good lesson with a
family the Mcmillians Tessa and Eric are 16 and 12 and they want to come to
church and now all we have to do is get them a little more knowledge and get
the family to church and get them baptized! super awesome!
Me and elder Perdue also found this super awesome guy named
Rual just talking to people in a trailer park and he is so prepared! We taught
him the Restoration and he accepted everything! When we talked about Joesph
Smith he just said that it made so much sense and it sounded right! We had to
leave pretty soon after that because his girlfriend who he hadn't seen in 6
months pulled up which he was so funny and happy to see her that it was ok that
we had to end early! But ya! we are going back and he is so getting baptized!!
but ya! the work is good! we definitely have to re-build abunch of stuff but it
feels good to work hard and to see an area pick up! hopefully we'll be having a
few baptisms here pretty soon! so ya! anything else you all want to know??
I lost my camera on the way over here so I can't send any
pictures... pray that I'll be able to find it cuz that has all my picture of my
whole mission on it so far.. but hopefully it'll turn up soon and I'll get you
all plenty of pictures! Ilove you all and I'm super excited to get to work in
this new area! Me and Elder Perdue have been really trying to be obedient so we
can be a blessing in the lives of these people! So ya I know when we are obedient
to the commandments and we try to be like our Savior we have the ability to
have greater companionship of the Holy Ghost!
Love you all!!!!! WHat up frm TWIN MISH!!
