Hello,
I am adapting well to my new area and finding things to do to keep us busy. We are working with four other elders to cover the Fort Wayne area. Things are going pretty smooth. We had a much better number of lessons last week. We were able to teach nine lessons, which is a lot better than like three or something that we had the week prior. So we are pretty happy about that.
Yesterday was pretty sweet. We got to go to a mission wide conference in Cincinnati with Elder Oaks. Only problem is Cincinnati is three and a half hours from where we are here in Indiana. We had to go to sacrament meeting down in Cincinnati at 9:00 which means we had to leave our apartment at 4:30 a.m. It was lovely. But the conference was awesome! Elder Oaks spoke to us for an hour or so and we all got our picture taken with him. It was really neat. He was definitely inspired as he addressed the missionaries.
Being so far away from our apartment (we got a ride with the Zone Leaders), we had not enough gas to complete the drive home. So, as missionaries, we had to buy gas on the way home from the meeting...haha It was interesting, but we were required to be at the conference and we also had to drive ourselves because members were not invited to the meeting. So there wasn't really any other way. I'm glad we weren't struck down on our way home.
So on that note, adieu. I love you all.
Elder Strong
