Well, I don't know if you heard or not, but our mission is
getting split on July 1, 2013, into three different missions. I have
mixed feelings about it. I'm glad that the work is going well enough to have
this influx of missionaries and mission splits. But at the same time, I don't
want to get split from friends and families and also not being able to go and
visit past families and areas. We will find out more about everything on
Friday when we have zone conference.
This past week started off rough with continued cancelled appointments, but then we kept pressing forward and started contacting some different families. We were able to find three new investigators and hopefully we will get another three or four next week. It's so much nicer working with a companion that you enjoy being around. It had been so long that I forgot how it felt. It's been super nice. Elder Bloomfield does have his struggles because his dad died when he was ten and his mom died while he was out on his mission. So it has been tough in the streets for him. Last night we stayed up pretty late just talking and things and I didn't know what to tell him. But I felt so bad because that would be way tough to deal with and stay out.
Things with Jenny are a continued roller coaster. Her dad has threatened to cut her off if she gets baptized and so she is scared and doesn't know what to do. The awesome thing is that with all of that, she still wants to be baptized in March. We text her on and off through the week to check up on her, but all in all, I think she is going to finish strong.
A really awesome family signed up to feed us dinner and they forgot that it was their mom's birthday. So, they ended up taking us out to Jackpot, Nevada, to eat at the buffet down there with their family. It was pretty fun and that now makes four states that I have been in on my mission!
Over the weekend, we had close to 50 mph winds and we didn't have the car on those days. That made for some really really fun missionary work trying to walk in that nastiness! That's pretty much all that has happened, but life is good no complaints!
Love you all and I will talk to you next week with hopefully some more success!
