This
week has disappeared, gone in a flash, a blink. I don't know where all
of the time went? It was awesome though! I can't remember much of
what happened, but it was good!
We ate at the Bishop's house this week, and he is
awesome! He really wants to help us out with the work, and get the ward
involved--which is a HUGE blessing. His family is
awesome as well. He went to Hong Kong on his mission, so we had this
yummy chicken. Maybe it was from his mission, but I'm not sure. The
next day--Tuesday--we taught our investigator. She doesn't have
much of a religious background of any kind. We committed
her to just pray everyday, and she said yes! So far she has been doing
it as well. Hopefully she feels the spirit as she does so. It was SO
hot this day! I was going to die! It was 90 degree's with too much
humidity. I was fasting too, so i seriously felt like i was going to
keel over and die.
On Wednesday we had my last district meeting with
this district (4 of them are getting transferred, so it'll just be
Sister Holmstead and I). We discussed Power and Authority on Page 4 of
PMG. I think it went pretty well. I did the least amount of talking,
so that's a good sign! After, i went on a exchange with Elder Griffeth.
The Elder in Fairview. We had an awesome time! Him and his companion
are getting doubled out, so he worked on the area book for a bit trying
to get it ready for the new missionaries. The next day we exchanged
back and Elder Linford and I did weekly planning at the church. I drank
some water out of my water bottle, and it tasted weird. I felt like
crap after as well! I looked in it, and there were a bunch of black
specs everywhere on the bottom. Mold! I guess that is what you get
when you don't wash your water bottle for 9 months. Needless to say, i
nuked that thing that night, and I'm enjoying the clean water out of it
right now! Gotta love humidity, and not having a dish washer...
Later on in the week, Friday, we went up to
Westfield. It was great! We had some really good lesson's.
On Saturday and Sunday we got word that Elder
Linford is getting transferred. President gave me a call and called me
to stay DL and also asked me to train again. I'm excited There
are only 5 new missionaries coming in, so I've been trying to guess who
the unfortunate soul is that gets me! We'll find out tomorrow:) We
have to drive down to Pittsburgh tonight and we are picking up another
set of missionaries. One of the Elder's is getting transferred. We
will have 6 suitcases in our little cruze. It's going to be a long 2
and a half hour drive. Luckily I am the driver so i get the most room:)
Have a great week. I love you guys!
Love
Elder Birrell
