Hi everyone,
I made it to San Diego safely! It is gorgeous here, both the weather and the scenery! I don't have much time (5 min) so I'll have to be short but I'll give you the run down. I'm serving in 1 of the 2 areas that used to be in the Carlsbad mission. I'm in the Poway stake and the Green Valley Ward. The area is really wealthy and a lot of retired people live here. It is so different than what I was anticipating but I love it. :) We don't tract in this mission at all. We do all of our work through members and any other referrals. Its hard to find people to talk to and to teach because no one is ever outside! The people are really great and the members of the ward are so invested in missionary work. It makes me want to go back to the Ada Branch and help the missionaries! I have 2 companions that have been together since the mtc except for the first 6 weeks here while they were trained. They are wonderful and it is interesting to be in a trio but I love it. They have helped me a ton and I learn so much from them! My district is great too. One of my favorite Elders from my mtc district, elder wallentine, is in my district!!! It's fun to see him once a week during our great district meetings. Meetings are probably the biggest shock I've experienced here in the field. I can't believe how long they are and how many there are....patience.
We are teaching about 4 people right now and all but 1 are in a part-member family. It is so nice to see their families being unified in the gospel! Heavenly Father loves us all so much and he wants the best for us. I feel so blessed to have the restored truths of Jesus Christ, that we can be with our families forever and that we can return and live with our Heavenly Father someday. I love this gospel and I love this work.
times up! Until next week!
P. S. Chelsey, I need your new address! Miss you A LOT!
