My crusade on New Castle is done...

Hello Everyone!!!

Things have been going well here in New Castle. Elder Davis and I have been able to find a good amount of potential investigators which is really setting up the area for some great success. We had 3 people who were planning on coming to church but by Sunday morning, all of them were unable to come. That was a bummer. 

I had a very interesting experience giving a blessing this week. Our branch president took us to give a sister a blessing because she is having some trouble with her kidneys. I did the anointing and the branch president gave the blessing. He tends to give rather long blessings and this was no exception. I got up to the circle and made sure that my legs were a good distance apart and that I was bending my knees so that I wouldn't pass out. Even with all of that precaution, I still began to feel woozy. Even my tongue began to tingle, that was weird! I tried my best to push through and stay in the circle, praying to myself that the blessing would end. Finally, when it did end, I just about fell on the couch that was right behind me and was super pale. I asked Elder Davis how pale I was compared to the guy who died at the library and he said that I was about half as pale. That was a weird experience. I have since found out that I can leave the blessing if I need to, but at the time, I didn't know that I could. 

I found out this morning that I am leaving New Castle. I am going to miss this branch. We have done some good work here. Elder Davis is going to continue to do really miraculous things here. I have a lot of faith in him. I found out this morning that I am going to be a zone leader in Dayton, Ohio! I am really excited! That is the same zone as Greenville is in. Hopefully I will get to go on exchanges there some time!   

I love this work and I am excited to see what it has in store for me! I love you all! Thank you for everything that you do!
