So this past week has been a lot more difficult for us. We had transfers, where I received a new companion, and our car was given to sisters coming into the mission. Where our apartment is located makes this bike area EXTREMELY difficult to work in. We have not been able to do much at all. No teaching, no finding, no shopping... It is rough.
But my new companion is super cool. He is from Redding, California. I have actually known him for my entire mission because I met him when I first came in.
We received two new Spanish elders to our ward, which now means we have four companionships just in our ward. Two Spanish and two English. It is crazy! There are way too many missionaries coming into our mission. There were 42 new missionaries this transfer (only four old elders went home), and next transfer there will be 50 new missionaries coming in. That means we will reach capacity for our mission in a month and a half. I don't know what they are going to do after that.
I had to give a talk yesterday in church. They called me 9:00 Saturday night (which is when we are just getting home and starting to plan out our next day) and asked me to talk for ten minutes. I was not very happy about that. After planning and everything, preparing the talk took me until 12:30. Then I had to get up at 5:30 to be ready to be picked up for a ride to our morning meetings. I was so tired. I still am. Butthe talk went well. I based it off of Brad Wilcox's talk on grace out of this months Endign. Read it. It is a very good talk.
I hope you are all doing well. I love you all and will talk to you next week!
Love,
Jamison
