ET Phone Home

 Hello From Liberty Township Ohio!

Wow, what a crazy week this has been. I got a phone call from President Ensign Tuesday morning that I would be leaving Lawrenceburg Thursday morning and coming to Liberty Township in Ohio because a different Elder was able to return to his original assignment in Argentina. I was pretty stressed to get that call, but everything is going pretty well here. I am the district leader, and Elder Brooks and I are the biking coordinators for the mission. We don't do much with the bikes though because most of the mission has cars now. Our area is much more financially stable than Lawrenceburg, and so the work has been struggling a bit, but I am excited to come and try to make a difference here.  

Something cool about the Liberty area is that we are in a car share, which means that we only have a car every other week at most, and so we get to bike around a lot.  It is lots of fun! Our area is pretty small, but we sometimes have to bike for 45 minutes or so to get to our appointments. That's not a problem except we get a little sweaty. Biking in the summer probably would make us super gross at meetings. I feel like we're kinda gross and it's February.

My new companion is Elder Brooks. He's from Gilbert Arizona and was originally assigned to the Tokyo North mission. He seems pretty cool. He can speak pretty good Spanish as well as Japanese so that's been fun. He also ran in high school so we have gone on a couple of runs together! I miss my other companions, but I am excited to work with Elder Brooks!

Transfers are in a week so we'll see how many things get shaken up when President calls on Saturday night. 

Have a great week! Keep striving everybody!

Ain't No Place That Far

Howdy, It has been a wild couple of days. On Monday I had a good time playing basketball, eating at Waffle House, and enjoying my last momen...
