I have been doubled into the New Castle Branch. This will be my third branch that I have served in and only one ward. I guess my job as a missionary is to help it become a ward! This has been an interesting experience. Luckily the elders that were here (One of them being Elder Tanner who I trained in Fort Wayne) left the area book really nice so we could have some idea of what to do.
My new companion is Elder Haydn Davis. We have the same first name! There are so many Ha(y)d(e)ns in the mission right now! Elder Woffinden, my trainer, has now trained 2 Hayden's and now I am training a Haydn. It has been rather fun working with him though. Elder Davis is from Irvine California where he did improv and choir. It is interesting because he seems like me, just with ADHD. That makes Elder Davis rather fun though. Boy, does he not like to sit still! That has been hard for him because we aren't really sure where to go so we have to sit down and figure it out and he just wants to go go go!!! It has been funny watching him squirm. Even now, Elder Davis is waiting for me to finish emailing and is having the hardest time waiting.
There are some really great investigators here. This week, we received a media referral for this lady and she is super solid! Her boyfriend in Texas is a member and is really interested in learning more about the church. She is very ready to be a part of the gospel. Something that was really cool with her was that we weren't really sure who she should sit by during Sacrament meeting. We thought about this one sister and we were planning to make arrangements for them to sit by each other. What was really funny though was that the sister and our investigator walked into the church already together already talking! It was great! Heavenly Father's hand truly is in this work, even in something as simple as that!
Thank you all for everything that you do! I love you!
