GO UTES!!! That's so beast that they beat Oregon! Does that put them at 4-0? So we got the transfer news and I'm being transferred! I'm kinda bummed but excited at the same time. I'll miss Amy's baptism but I will get to serve in a new area so that will be fun! I won't find out my new area until the transfer meeting on Tuesday! The YSA branch got reopened and the are getting sister missionaries in it!
This week was good! We went out with our Stake President last Tuesday, and a couple weeks ago we had a meeting for the leadership in the stake and we were able to go to that. They put a big push on members going out with the missionaries to meet with less actives, part member families, children over 8 who haven't been baptized yet, and prospective elders. So the appointment that we had set up for President Lewis to come with us to was a family who had called us asking if we could visit with them and their 16 year old son who was looking for some direction in his life. They told us that he is very anti-social and that they haven't been to church in years, so we were really excited to meet them! We went over there with President Lewis and were talking to the family and the family consists of Bundimae (great grandma) Valarie (grandma) and her husband, Jayce (16 year old grandson) and Logan (11 year old grandson). So we asked them some questions about why they called us and what their background was with the church, and they said that neither Jayce or Logan had been baptized and that they had been less active for like 30 years!! Haha so it was a less active part member family, with a child of record over 8 who hadn't been baptized, and almost a prospective elder! We were super excited about that and we ended up teaching them the Restoration and inviting Jayce to read the Book of Mormon which he said he would! Hopefully they will continue to progress in the Gospel! We had some other teaching appointments and got in some tracting time as well this week so overall it was pretty awesome!
Anyways, I'm excited to see where my new area will be and to be able to serve there! I'm so grateful to be on a mission! It's the best calling in the church by far! Thanks for all the support and the emails! I love all of you guys and I'll talk to you next week!
Love Elder Summerhays
