Hey everyone!
So this week was good, we got our transfer calls on Saturday and Im staying in Bear Mountain and they made me district leader, and elder Merrell is going to Meadow Creek to be a zone leader. And his new companion is elder Merrill and elder Hartman haha, theyre gonna be a zone leader tripanionship. My new companions name is elder Sant, hes only been out for 3 transfers and has been in the samoan ward his whole mission, but hes not samoan. Ive only met him a few times so I dont really know him, but Ive heard good things about him. So it should be good.
Things have been good this week, we met with Kate, Bill, and sister Hansen, unfortunately we havent been able to see Rebecca since last Sunday though. And unfortunately, well find out next time we meet with Rebecca, we might have to pass her off the the YSA elders because she would have alot more fellowshippers and better chance of staying active in that ward, but we'll see what she wants to do.
We saw Kate twice this week, the first time we taught her about obedience and the second time we taught her about tithing and fast offerings. Shes doing super good, teaching her is like teaching a seminary student, its way fun. I learned some Australian terms this week too, there was a stake dance and it was an Australian theme so they put Australian phrases on the wall. Theres Thats so yummm! How are you going? How handy! Crikey its a croc! Thats not a knife, thiiis is a knife. Good on ya(but dad already told me about that one). and Crikey hes got my arm! haha then there were more but I cant remember what they are.
Sister Hansens still doing good, we read 2 Nephi 18-21 this week, some of the Isaiah chapters. When you think about it the message Isaiah keeps teaching is pretty simple, as brother Hansen describes it, follow the commandments and you'll be blessed, or break the commandments and rebel against God and he'll stomp you into the mud puddle haha. Its a funny way of putting it but it seems like thats basically the jist of what Isaiah teaches.
Bill, we finally were able to meet with him after many cancelled appointments. Now that he has the triple combination that we gave him hes been reading the chapters weve given him and coming along good. Unfortunately he wasnt able to make it to church yesterday. But when we met with him, he had a bunch of verses marked that he didnt understand so we just went through the chapters he read and clarified what the verses meant that he didnt understand. And he said that now that hes reading it more its getting easier to understand the wording and lingo of the Book of Mormon. So hes definitely coming along great.
And we might have a lesson with Rebecca today, not completely sure though, so next email Ill have an update for you on her.
Things have been pretty good this week, the weathers just getting colder. The past few days its been in the teens, so now I wear my winter coat everyday. But I heard up in Fairbanks where Alyssa is its been in the negatives. Im glad its not that cold yet down here. But nothing too exciting happened this week, although I just heard horror stories from the sketchy ghetto area of Anchorage. Im gonna get my pictures onto an SD card today to send you guys, so dont worry about not getting pictures, you'll have them soon.
It sounds like your weeks been good/crazy. Happy 23rd Birthday Virginia! Thats pretty awesome, hopefully it was great. That stinks that Braedons having problems with his back, hopefully he can get that stuff figured out soon and get it taken care of. Thats good that Averys getting those tickets paid off, those are some spendy tickets/fees, alot more expensive than I thought they would be. Im glad that Brolins getting that math stuff taken care of, and maths definitely a necessary evil for graduation, elder Merrell loves it though. yea so I was at dinner this week at a members home and they had a math sheet helper thing that has equations and all that helpful stuff that you need to know, and I realized really quickly that when I get home Im gonna need a tutor for sure haha. I recognized some of it but didnt remember how to do any of it haha im in trouble, the only math I ever do on my mission is adding up the miles we drive in our car. And thank you for the package! I got it last wednesday. ANyways, Im glad things are pretty good overall and that you guys are staying warm down there.
Love you guys!
Love Elder Roney
