So Good!

Hello!

Well this week was transfers, so a little bit about transfer news I am staying down in Ft. Apache! But, my second half left me. Elder Whitehouse got transferred down to the valley and I have a new junior companion Elder Burt which means that the zone leaders are now split. So, I, as a Zone Leader, am in Ft. Apache and the other Zone Leader is in Pinetop. This is confusing unless you see a map so, I will draw a picture. BOOOM!!

So, there is a bunch of nothing between Whiteriver and Pinetop. In that way our zone is split into two districts one in Whiteriver and the other in Pinetop. So anyway, I am in Whiteriver and the other Zone Leader, Elder Jorden, is in Pinetop. It makes it interesting to work together but, we are managing. Hopefully it will work out well, it is just a little stressful. 

It has been interesting taking over the area. I haven't driven in like two months, and we may or may not have gotten lost a couple times this week. I miss the comfort of Elder Whitehouse knowing where to go and where everything is. Haha, he has been in the north area for six months and I got here a month ago. Okay, maybe a little longer than that but, I am less experienced none the less. Haha, it's been good though. I am enjoying it, it is fun to see the branch grow. 

We have been teaching a super good family the Ethelbahs. They are less active members that we re-activated and now that are coming to church. Now, the parents are the re-activated members and the children are not members. So, we have been working with them and helping their family be more united. I am excited for them, they are such great people and you can really see the change that is happening in there lives. I just hope they realize the joy that has come from keeping the commandments. Man, this sunday made me so happy! We had the Ethelbah, the Thomas and the Hernandez families at church and all of them are people I have been teaching for the past couple months. SO GOOD! 

Other than that not much has been happening down here, we found a good sincere lady that we had a pleasure to talk to. She was super nice and open to know about what her savior wants her to do. and honestly wanted to follow Jesus Christ so, hopefully she keeps the commitments we left with her to read the Book of Mormon and to pray to know if it is true. It's awesomely simple how happy we can be just by keeping the commandments of God. Because the commandments are how we distinguish the difference between good and evil. If you do good you feel good. So, there you go. Make sure you do good this week so you feel good. :)
