Week 9

     So my letters are late because of transfer’s week, and yes I have been transferred out of the lovely land of Thetford; I have made friends here that I know will be friends until the eternities. 

     I have learned so much in this transfer from elder Kalabonko, the ward members, and especially from the Lord. My first week here was probably the hardest week of my life, and I can see the Lords hand pushing me along. 

     I think the biggest thing I've learned in this area was how to be confident in myself and to put the Lords will before my own. The Lord doesn't demand perfection but commands us to strive towards it, which we have been doing since the day we were baptized as members of the church. I have become both mentally and spiritually strong in this transfer; I always knew how to work hard, but I learned how to love it and the importance of the work I'm doing. One of the families I'm sad to leave is he Leslie family; they are what I want for my family and myself.

     Phillip Leslie is the father of this family and he was very much an influence on me here, we had some very spiritual conversations were I learned so much about the plan of salvation and the gospel as a whole. We also had some deep doctrine talk of symbolism and Christ, but that's for a different email. I also had the privilege to meet Hyrum Joliffe, a 25-year-old return missionary and he would fit into our family like a glove. I had so much fun talking with him about comics, mission experiences, and life lessons in store for me. 

     These two people have made a lasting positive impact on my life that I will be eternally grateful for. This land is sacred to me because this is the place where I became a missionary. 

I have been transferred to South End. I will be doing my follow up training with Elder O'Hare, my MTC companion. Which put into perspective that two brand new missionaries will be training one another in area that they have all to themselves. It has only been done once before and both of them became Zone Leaders and trainers after wards so we will see what the Lord has in store for me. I will say that the England London mission is not for the light hearted, a lot of things happen that I thought I would never experience; which is again for another letter. 

     The people here are the Lords strongest and Elite is what I will say. I don't have a lot of time to write so this will have to be the end. 

Love you
