So things are better. Our phone is
constantly going off. It is like missionaries cannot survive without us Zone Leaders telling us what to do every five seconds. I'm kinda
just a do it myself guy so having to tell people what they can and can
do all the time is kinda lame.
Being in a YSA ward is weird though.
Everybody there just wants to get married and it is really weird being a
missionary in that environment. We do have a lot of potential coming up
though in the ward. We have two investigators with a date for this
month and a third investigator who is close to setting a date. Also we
are getting three new investigators today from a referral from other
missionaries. This is definitely the busiest time of my mission. I am
not doing any more missionary work at all but handling the logistics of
the zone along with missionary work is crazy. We give so many people
rides everywhere and have to go to the office a ton to pick stuff up and
get mail and whatnot. I am happy though and definitely will finish out
my mission going 150%. I do miss the Euclid ward right now though. The
ward I am serving in is the Placentia 4th Young Single Adult Ward.
I still keep in touch with Tyler also. He was my baptism in
Yorba Linda 5th ward. He just started his senior year and is planning on
a mission after highschool. I am taking lots of pictures mom don't
worry. Us as missionaries aren't allowed to go on facebook yet in this
mission. It will probably be allowed a month or two after I leave. I
think I am going to be really behind on the whole social media thing
when I get home. In the YSA ward we have to text people to get a hold of
them because they wont answer a phone call ever which is super weird.
I will be better with money also. I am not going to be buying
anything really this month because I am going home. I am in survival
mode now. I needed the address because I was sending packages home and I
got to the UPS store and I couldn't remember it. It has been like two
years so give me a break.
So you guys are going to be getting two packages in the mail
today tomorrow or Friday. They are kinda big and have a lot of junk in
it. I just want you to know that a lot of that junk was given to me by
members or I found by the dumpster or garage sales. A lot of it I did
buy though but it was over a year ago that I bought it all. You know
that thing when I get depressed I start to buy stuff, well when the
period of time when I was depressed I bought lots of board games. I
really regret it and I have learned to master that weakness on my
mission. But I have a lot of junk because of it. So you guys are welcome
to play any of those that you want. A ton of them are really fun and I
can't wait to play them with you when I get home. As you can probably
guess I was really popular on P-day.......we played a lot of board
games. But I worked hard on my mission. Don't think I just did that all
day also. Thanks for understanding, and I'm sorry.
I can not believe that the girls are so old now though. Jaylen
is a Junior? That is just weird. I was suppose to be the only one in
High School. How do you think the girls will be when they go to the same
school? Will the be friends or enemies? Ha ha.
I hope you guys are ready for when I get home because our
house is going to turn into the missionary hub. Every single lesson the
Elders teach will be in our home and we will fellowship them all. I'm
going to be inviting everybody I know also. Nothing bugs me more than
members who feel that it is the missionaries job to find people to
teach. That is no more the case. The members have the responsibility to
find people for the missionaries to teach now.
I love you guys so much and thank you for everything that you
do. Thank you for letting me go and stay out on a mission. The scarifies
you have made financially and emotionally are more than I could ever
ask for. I feel like I have learned and grown so much since I cam out. I
have a real sense, like real actual, and tangible sense of Heavenly
Father and his relationship with me. I have learned so much about the
gospel and the church and I feel my faith has grown so much. I still
have so much to learn as well about everything. I love you guys so much.
Connor
