Hi everyone!
This past week was pretty good. It was a kinda slow in terms of missionary work, but still had some good things happen, and some set up for good things to come. At the very least, nothing really bad
happened, so that was nice. We had several lessons with Reagan, who is doing really well. She and Greg got married! That was exciting, and now she can get baptized! She just needs to keep up with her not smoking, and she needs to have an interview with President Center. The plan is to do the baptism this Saturday, but that could change to a week or two later depending on a couple of circumstances. But the plan, the hope, and the likelihood is this Saturday.
In addition to our teaching, we also had Zone Conference (our last one with President Center), a special temple trip for a less active member who we helped reactivate, and we did a lot of service! So we still actually kept fairly busy. There just wasn't as much teaching/finding as I'd like. One reason things have been slower is because we really did pretty much baptize pretty much our whole teaching pool. But I think another part of the reason we haven't been teaching/finding is because Elder Burt is leaving in a week. His enthusiasm is definitely elsewhere than teaching and finding. And while I think a missionary ought to work his/her hardest to the very last day, I can understand where it's coming from. Going home would be super exciting having had so little contact with family and friends for two years, not to mention getting to wake up after 6:30 and take naps as needed without
feeling guilty about it, along with other pros that come with normal life. So I get it, it's just hard for me because I've still got 7 months, and I'm ready to work.
And kind of along those lines, transfers are once again just around the corner. And there's an extra bit of suspense for me because I know for a fact that something is going down. Elder Burt goes home, so I am guaranteed a companion change. There's a chance I could get moved to a new area and Snow Canyon could be white-washed, and in fact if that were to happen, this would actually be the time to do it because we will have baptized about everyone we were teaching, and it would be kind of a fresh start, but I still don't think it'll happen. I'm pretty confident that I'll be staying here one more transfer. But I'll still have a new companion. Hopefully I get a good one! Whatever happens, I'll be finding out on Saturday.
Well that's all for this Monday. Have a great week!
-Elder Oswald
