This has been quite the week. saying
good-byes. Flying to PE. Driving 4 hours to George. Cleaning up the
flat. So that it looks nice. But it has been a lot of fun getting to
know this area. It seems like it will be a fun one. There are a lot of
great members. I think I will enjoy my time here. But nothing too crazy
has gone on this last week.
i
love you thoughts with Gideon. I have always enjoyed that story.
Vigilant and ready for anything. I thought of this last week. The trust
it takes to come to George. There has been some crazy stuff in the pass.
It is far away from everyone and the like. Right now we don't even have
a senior couple to help things run smooth. There is a little bit of
fear in there. There is so much to do. Missionaries are a big part of
the branch. But even their trust has been cut. But the last several
elders have been building trust again and I get to mark it even
stronger. It will be some good work. A chance to let faith grow a little
more.
For now I don.t need anything. I am doing good. Just
learning my way around the area. Things are great. One of the priesthood
holders in the branch is the branch president. And he reports right to
president Merrill. President Moyo is a cool guy. He is a great one to
lead the branch.
Our focus is more reactivation. We will also
be working on building the members so we will have the family mission
plan provide some investigator along the way. George just needs to be
strengthed. Big time.but that is about it for now. Lots of fun times
ahead.
Love you Dad!
Mom, george is
very nice. Very diverse as well. And it is quite crazy to think that
this will be, more likely than not, my last area. It has a population of
about 68,000. Then you have the surrounding areas as well. Thembulethu,
31,000. Pacltsdorp, 18,000. So there plenty of people to visit just
here. Then our area expands and includes Wilderness, Mossellbaai, some
ostrich place, and the little places inbetween . It is a big area. But
it will be fun to get used to. Plus i will be able to visit Knysna. One
of the most beautiful places in the mission. I drive along most of the
garden route. One of the most beautiful drives in the world. I am one of
the lucky ones.
Thanks for the great picture.
Oh and Happy Anniversary to you and Dad!
Love you Mom!!
Bryant, love you brother!
Meagan,
thanks for keeping up with my facebook. You are the best. You can
accept the friend requests. Or if you want you can tell me who is making
the requests and i can approve. But whatever is easiest. I can always
go through everyone when I get home. But thanks for doing that.
I
am sorry about the dance collision. It is all a part of the program :)
just keep practicing and work hard and you will soon be dancing with the
stars. :)
But evrything is good one this side. Just loving
the work. Good luck with the tests and homework. Your diligence will pay
off soon. Love you sister!!
Heidi, sounds like you are having some fun as well. Camping and everything.
And
you are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very good girl. Keep working hard in school. You are doing
great.
Also keep indexing. I won't be able to have a lot of
time to do it here in George. Not like i was in the office. So now it is
up to you and mom. Good luck!
I love you Heidi!
