A lot has changed in the last few days since I have emailed
you all! I apologize in advance for this email, because my head is just
spinning right now.
First off, the Warrick B flat I am in right now is pretty
new, so no cool "flat finds" like Christmas trees. (see pictures.)
The only Christmas decorations we have up are some cards we have gotten from
the members here! That doesn't bother me too much though.
My district just has one other team besides myself my companion. The other two Elders are absolute nutcases!
I'm really excited to begin working with them though. They live in Warwick, and
we live in Leamington which is a 5 minute train ride away. We are getting on a
train a lot more frequently here than I have in any other area! Speaking of
trains, on Saturday we got the chance to go up to the chapel and meet some of
the members at the branch Christmas party. My companion and I made sure to get
a picture with Santa. A lot of the members here seem really cool, and hopefully
we are going to be able to help the branch become more missionary minded.
Anyways, I got on a tangent. On the way back from the Christmas party we walked
into the train station right as a train arrived. I knew that our train wasn't
supposed to get to the station for another ten minutes, so when my comp
jumped onto the train I hesitated for two seconds to ask if it was the right
train. Two seconds was two long, and the doors to the train started to close.
They didn't start to open again which I stuck my arm in to stop them from
closing, so I pulled my arm out and my companion was off! I had to call the
mission president to let him know that I would be unavoidably separated from my
companion for ten minutes while I waited for the next train. The story doesn't
get any more exciting, I caught the next train and my companion was waiting
for me at the station. I'm just glad that I didn't miss the next train because
there wasn't another one for an hour!
Being District Leader has been fun because I haven't really
gotten any training yet! I kind of assumed that there would be some sort of
meeting where I would be told what my duties as District Leader are. Nope!
Right now I am just doing what I have seen other District Leaders do in the
past. My first District Meeting will be on Wednesday, and I will probably begin
doing exchanges in the next week or so! I tell everyone that District Meeting
will just be us playing hangman. NOT!!!
I will have to tell you all more next week when I can think
a little better. We are working very hard, and we have been able to find a few
people who we may be able to begin teaching. Only time will tell if the
appointments we have been setting up are going to hold!
I love you all!
