6 months

July 20, 2015

Hello everybody!

I hope you've all had a good week. Mine has been okay. Just nothing much to report. We did have several good lessons. But a few people also fell through and we didn't find any new investigators. This was one of those weeks where we totally worked our tails off, but just didn't find much success. Still, I feel good about the effort. All we can do is try.

Tomorrow (the 21st) is my 6 month mark! That came fast! I've finished a quarter of my mission. That is both exciting and a little terrifying. I'm still not sure how time has gone so quickly. Soon, I might get to participate in one of the goofy missionary traditions. The tradition is at 6 months, we burn a tie, at 1 year, we burn a shirt, at 18 months we burn a pair of pants, and right before we go home, we burn a suit. Now, I'm definitely not burning any suits. If I can keep them nice, all the better because they weren't cheap (and they're nice suits, especially the navy blue one). I also won't be burning any of my ties. What I can do, however, is go to DI (basically Mormon Goodwill) and buy a really old ugly tie, and then burn that.

Other than that, there isn't much to report. We got our transfer calls yesterday. Elder Spencer and I are both staying in Enoch West, and Elder Bennett and Elder Howard are both staying in Canyonview. So

that's fun.

I miss you guys, and I hope you have a great week!
