All kinds of excitement this
week. First, on Wednesday we got a call from the Assistants to the President
(AP's) and they informed us that Thursday evening we would be receiving a new
companion! He had to get emergency transferred because his companion had to go
home to have knee surgery and so he was sent to join us. His name is Elder
Neville and he is a great missionary. He was actually in the same MTC District
with Elder Smelcer so that's been kind of fun for them. We're still getting
used to being in a companionship of three but it's been fun so far.
So when Elder Neville was dropped off President Murdock and the AP's came to
drop him off personally since they were on their way to do some other Emergency
Transfers in Grand Junction. While he was there in our apartment (good thing
we'd just cleaned) he said they had just gotten a call about my visa the other
day. It looks like I'll head down to Denver on the 26th and I'll fly out to
Brazil on the 27th!! It feels so weird to think about leaving Colorado and
actually teaching in Portuguese. So many mixed emotions with finally leaving
but also having to leave an area I've come to love.
Well we had an awesome week this week. We had members come
on splits three times with us and we taught more lessons than any of us had
ever taught on our missions. In some areas we have to worry about not visiting
people enough times but here we were so effective this week we had to worry
about seeing people too MANY times!! One of the most amazing parts of it all is
that the three people we were seeing the most before this week were either on
vacation or had moved out the week before. So many blessings. The Lord is truly
watching over us and helping us to do great things here in Rifle.
"I
can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

you guys,
