To my family,
So much has happened this last week. I don't even know where
to start. I feel like a lot of crazy things happened that earlier in my mission
would've stressed me out majorly but I feel like I handled it all pretty well
this last week. I have developed more of a just "roll with it" attitude.
Thursday night roles around. We get halfway through planning when Im like uh oh
President is calling. I answer and yeah I got called to be a trainer again.
Pretty sweet. I wasnt really expecting it. I was actually praying a lot to just
stay here with Elder Andrus for another but I am pretty grateful for the trust
The Lord has in me and President Taggart has in me to call me to train again.
Either that or they are giving me another shot because I messed up last time.
Round II. Haha nah im messing. But train away! It will be a good couple of
weeks. Ill probably be here for the next 12 weeks which I am pumped for. This
area is seriously heaven. Not feeling too stressed about training, honestly. Im
really just planning on being myself. I feel like people try to put themselves
at some higher level sometimes or try to be better than they really are when
they train but hey Im just going to keep living and working my mission as I've
always done and look for progression. We are going to have some fun and
flipping work our legs off and our hearts until the end!
We taught two of our recent converts last week how to make
and eat french toast. We went over at 8 to their house and cooked some up with
them. They didn't have syrup and neither did we so we had to go buy some. Haha
the look on their faces were so funny when they were eating it. They would
swallow and say yeah I like it, but the look on their face said otherwise. You
have to realized these people are used to eating bread and soup for breakfast.
It was pretty funny.
M--- is progressing so well. A few weeks ago he was like
Elders Im moving and we were like oh flip that means we wont be able to teach
him anymore. He kept saying pasando el puente which is like just over the
bridge. We were thinking just over the bridge! Thats Kearny and the sister's
area. Turns out he meant the highway bridge and he still lives in Harrison,
which is part of our area! We were pumped. Taught him the word of wisdom this
last week. He was like "What I cant drink wine, come on Elderes. and no
tea?" Ha we were like well this is a commandment from God and we explained
that its not about what the commandment is but rather if the commandment is
from God or not. After a while he was like," Alright I'll live it."
So sweet. And he was supposed to work yesterday and couldn't go to church but
he called us yesterday morning and told us he could come! He is awesome and
excited for his Baptism.
Its been quite the week though. The zone is getting split I
think. So many crazy changes. Before it was pretty easy to tell what was going
on with transfers but now it is like impossible. They are cutting areas and
combing others and doubling out zone leaders. It is just nuts and hey I am just
rolling with it. Elder Nelson my zone leader is staying. He is a boss and been
a good friend since my like 2nd transfer so Im pumped for that. This zone is
super close.
Summer is coming. Haha we have had three sunny days this
past week! Snow is melting. It snowed last night like 4 inches but its pretty
much all melted already! Im pretty pumped for spring and the warm weather.
Thank you so much for the package of the handwarmers and thermals. Winter isn't
quite over yet so they will be put to use. Ill share them with my new companion
as well. Pretty excited.
Hope all is well. Keep up the work with RS mom. You
are changing lives.
Love you,
Elder Sumsion
