So, the first thing that comes
to mind is... Transfers! I am moving out of Syracuse! I am going to be serving
in Kanesville, Utah! My new companion will be Elder Lima. I don't know anything
about him but I hear he is a cool guy. I'm pretty excited to be in a new area
but I'm also bummed about leaving all the cool people in Syracuse. It was bound
to happen sometime anyway. I hear that we will be getting a car though so that
will be pretty nice, but I'll probably get fat.
One of the elders we lived with
went home this transfer! It was pretty awesome! His family came up from Georgia
and we got to meet them. There was also a departing testimony meeting where all
the missionaries who finished their missions got up and bore their testimonies
to all the people who came, which included missionaries, investigators and
recent converts. It was a super cool experience but it was sad to see him go.
He didn't want to leave but he was also ready to go home and start his life. It
must be a difficult feeling.
The other week we were chased down by a member who saw us
walking down the street. He was visiting one of his non-member friends and they
mentioned they'd like to ask us some questions. We ended up visiting with some
for an hour or so and set up an appointment to come teach them. They are an
interesting couple and like to ask some pretty off the wall questions. The wife
says that she can hear spirits and that her daughter can see them. They are
fairly interesting to talk with them. It's a bummer I'm not going to be able to
teach them anymore. I just hope that they listen with an open heart and are
able to get the most out of the message that the missionaries share with them.
Love,
Elder Ervin
