I'm a dad?!?!
Hello everyone,
This week has honestly been a pretty long week. I have no
idea why, but it just felt really long.
If you know anything about missions and being a dad, then
you know it means that I'm training! I got a call from the AP's and they asked
if I would train a new missionary and be the District Leader. I was pretty
excited. Unfortunately, that means Elder Grassi and I are no longer together,
but that's okay. It was bound to happen sometime. So, on Tuesday night we drove
down to Wichita and spent the night there. Wednesday I had to be to the church
at 7:30am to sit through some trainings. Finally, around 11 am I got assigned
my new companion. His name is Elder Robinson and he's from Mapleton Utah! He
reminds me a lot of my friend Scott, so needless to say, I love him. We had a
lot of driving to do so we got to talk and get to know each other pretty well.
I'm pretty excited for this transfer.
Thursday we met with Craig and gave him a church tour which
was super dope. I'd never given one, so I really didn't know what I was
doing. I thought for sure we would see him on Sunday at church, but we
didn't which was most unfortunate.
In addition to being a trainer I am also the district leader
here. Not sure how that happened, but it did. As district leader I get the
wonderful opportunity to prepare trainings for my district every week. My
mission went from 0 to 100 real quick. Anyway, so I was just planning on doing
my first training this Wednesday, but I got a call from the ZL's on Thursday
and they said I needed to do a training the next day. So that stressed me out,
but it went really well.
That's honestly about all that's happened this week. Being a
missionary is hard, but also so fun. I'm so grateful for the choice I made to
serve. This truly is the kingdom of God on the earth!

p.s. Elder Scroggin, don't tell President I am talking about
posterity :)
