Hey!
So I got transferred again already. I am now out of the city! My area is called Bloomingdale west(I think). I now have a car and am pretty happy about that but a little nervous with the winter coming. I think I will begin driving because my companion is not the best driver. But yah, it seems like a really cool area, definitely different by far than the city. More space, richer people, greener, civilized, and I actually feel like I’m not living in Hispanic Ville. I don't know if that is good or bad. Yesterday, the last day of the transfer, we finally found an investigator and had a good lesson. This ladies husband died about 3 months ago and she seems alright about the plan of salvation. I kind-of feel like she will progress quickly but now that's for Wrigley Ville to do. I am out of there. Things are different here but things are well. I feel like I will stay here awhile, but I think I said that last transfer also. I am now in the same zone as Elder Call, who was in Elder Bakers district in the MTC, so we'll have a good time. How's the ward? Members doing their missionary work? In stake conference, President Stoddard gave everyone the homework to read ch.3 in PMG, so it was fun visiting with the members and checking up on their homework if they did it or not. Members don't do missionary work because they are afraid mainly because they don't feel like they are not prepared. President Stoddard told them that if you they read ch.3 they will be prepared and the work will be easier and progress. Elder Anderson in general conference said something like "even if it is little, it is enough" or around that. DO the work and learn to laugh. "ASK and ye shall RECEIVE, SEEK and ye shall FIND, KNOCK and it shall be OPENED unto you." Elder Holland said that "that phrase is reiterated more times than any other scriptural phrase, so do you really believe that God really means it?" All you have to do is ASK your friends, SEEK for the opportunity to have them come to your home to and listen to the missionaries, so you and the missionaries(and the Holy Ghost) can KNOCK on their hearts and help them come unto Christ by OPENING their hearts to RECEIVE the message with which you helped them FIND. I had nothing else to write so I just made that up. It was pretty Cheesy. But it is true. Well good luck and later!
