Hey there!!
Well i got news on thursday night, the day after transfers
that I am being assigned to be a district leader again. Elder Riddle who is one of our assistants
called me and told me and also said that i will be leaving obviously, that was a
sad night. I was like wow I’m actually leaving, I’ve been here in
aiken for a long time and now I only have 9 months left. So i was pretty
surprised I was called to be a DLL again haha, I wasn’t really expecting that
but I guess president thinks that I learned before and I can be better now and
handle it better and that I have
those qualities to lead a district better then last time and he has
trust and confidence in me. That night I got the call was the same
night I was reading the letter that Seth Avey sent me and i liked that a
lot. I love the story of his mission
that he told me about how the whole mission baptized 2 people because they had
faith and put it in to action, and the lord blessed them. I also thought
about how its not always like, that the lord doesn’t always bless us with those
2 people, sometimes i wish he would so that I would feel like I’m getting
rewarded, for my efforts but the lord does what he thinks is best for us
at the right time sometimes he puts off those blessings till close to the end
and sometimes earlier.
So just an update on how the week went Matthew
and Brittany who we found out were moving to Louisiana actually are back here
for 3 weeks cause Matthew has to prepare for his GED test and then they will go
back so that gives elder stever time to teach them with his new companion
before they leave again and hopefully prepare them more for the missionaries in
Louisiana if it gets that far. we went on a day exchange with Elder Riddle
(the riddler) on monday night and tuesday and we had a great 2 lessons
with this guy we met named jerome, they were so spiritual and jerome felt the
spirit for sure but his parents who he is taking care of don’t really agree
with teaching him even though he’s in his 30's so hopefully we can talk to him
more and help him make is own right decision. So really upsetting news,
maryann the lady who was really awesome
and wanted to come to church dropped us! we went to her house and there was a
note on the door and it said "LDS elders don’t come back
anymore" basically and didn’t say why, so that’s what’s been bugging us
this week since we don’t know what happened cause she loved everything about
us, it also could be her daughter that wrote the note cause she doesn’t like us
at all. We had zone conference in Augusta
on Wednesday. It was great, the theme was repentance and just moving and
giving up the things that distract our mind from the work we read the "4th
missionary" talk and they gave each of us one to study it was great.
So dad I heard you bought a sweet road bike
well looks like im gonna have to use it also to prepare for my triatholon.
pretty cool pictures of grant looks way cool, so
duncan looks pretty ripped and man I can believe how he is feeling right now
having to keep waiting for the mission call just tell him to be patient
Love you guys
Have a great week
Elder Harper
