Hey Family!
That's crazy that there was another wind storm! Was it just as bad as the last one? That was fun to be able to go around and help everyone out though. It definitely feels good to serve!
So I got transferred. It was so awesome to be able to serve in Rio Zion and I’m super grateful for the experiences that I had and the people I was able to meet! Now I am in El Paso Texas in a ward called the Mesa Ward. You can look out the window of our apartment and see Mexico haha! My companions name is Elder Mapes and he is a ton like Elder Olsen haha! I'm not a District Leader or a trainer anymore just a regular old missionary! There is definitely a lot of work to be done here. This ward has had a couple not so good missionaries in the past and so Elder Mapes says that the work is struggling a little bit, but I’m ready to turn El Paso into El Zion!! It is a lot warmer down here than it was in Rio Rancho and this will most likely be the last area in my mission, so I’m going to come home scorched and super tan!
I am going to miss Forrests baptism this week, but he is excited and so ready to be baptized. This last week we were able to teach him a couple times and also pull some weeds in his backyard, and pull out a tree in his yard! His parents were wanting to pay us but we told them that we did it for free. I hope their hearts start to soften and maybe they will want to hear the message! We also met with Fred and Mary and Fred said that he wanted to be baptized but the only thing that is holding him back is his health problems. He is afraid with his bad knees and back that he wouldn’t be able to come up and down the stairs into the font. He wants to wait until he has better medication that will help him feel better, so hopefully that happens soon so he and Mary can get baptized as well!
Anyways, I am super excited to be here and I see so much potential in our ward! I am excited to see miracles and to help more people into the waters of baptism! I love being a missionary! I love and miss you guys, and hope everything is going well! I'll talk to you next week!
Love Elder Summerhays
