Getting Transferred

Hi Family

 

  Today is Tuesday and I'm writing this letter at a time that would much rather be out doing some work, but we decided that we'd better send some info to the families. We had zone p-day yesterday and then had some teaching appointments that we went to and had to finally get president email off last night but didn't get any time to email yall yesterday so we're doing that now.

 

  Crazy things are happening in the mission and around the church with the missionary work. There's going to be changes in missionary leadership within missions worldwide and just going to be a different flow to things then from the past. Tons of sisters are coming out and the transfer in June we have 2 elders coming out and 14 sisters........... Sucks to be the new mission president that has to put up with all that sister drama.

 

  I'll be getting transfered next week and go to a new area somewhere out there. I'm really sad to leave this place but President Jergensen said I'll be getting one of those "special assignments". Sooooo I'll just have to get my crap put together and get some work done for the rest of my mission. One of those elders coming out in June is all mine and I'm going to run him into the ground and then say "peace out yo" and head back to the 801 and get things done over there. Ames has been such a fun area and i've never been so close to the people that we've baptized while we've been here. On Sunday I gave the Aaronic Priesthood to Ben and he is going to serve a mission for sure. He is doing great and we're going to be getting things set up to get him to the temple and all the other recent converts as well.

 

  We didn't have a baptism on Saturday, but will have one on April 27, I won't be here for it though. Sam will be getting the dunk and he's doing great he's read the whole Book of Mormon in chinese and has just felt the spirit so strong and wants to get it done. So Ben will baptize him and we'll just have the pattern continue down the line where if you get baptized you will be doing the next one.

 

  glad that things are doing good at home and that Tony didn't die at work. He's under good care I don't think that God will kill someone who is converting his neighbor.

 

  College stuff I"m just going to be putting off until I get out of ames so that I have more time to get things all straightened out. For now we have some people to go teach and get going before ISU gets out.

 

  WIth much love   Elder Gonzalez  Ames 2nd
