A new companion, challenges and blessings!

Well This week has been crazy. It has been a hard one. Elder Martinez got transferred unexpectedly, and it has been very hard to lead the area. It has been a real challenge, but I have learned a lot from it, and the Lord is helping us to have success despite the fact I have no idea what I am doing!

 

My new companion is Elder Idso. There are still a couple weeks left of this transfer, but I don't know if I will be staying with him for the next one or if I will be out of here soon. We will find out! Elder Idso is great and I am enjoying working with him and learning from him. 

 

It has been hard, as three of our greatest families have dropped us this week. It really hurts to see someone that you have come to care about so much about decide they don't want to hear it anymore. Especially because you can see how happy it could make them. That has been hard, but we are going to work through it and try to find those that the Lord has prepared to receive us, because He will not let us fail. 

 

I have been really blessed to have been given a really nice jacket and a side bag for free. It is good, especially because it is starting to get pretty cold up here.  Some of the trees are starting to change up here, mostly yellows! But it looks beautiful and hopefully I can get a picture sometime soon. The camera that I brought out has bit the dust. The system is messed up and it won't function at all. If I can't fix it, I'll look for something and let you know!

 

I love being in this work. I love studying the gospel and having my testimony strengthened every day. I hope you can have that too, and that you can see opportunities to spread the good news that we have! I love you all and thank you for your support and prayers. 

 

Love,

Elder Stone
