Hello!
It
is a new beginning, a new transfer and a time to work even harder than
before. Life seems to be racing by. Let me tell you of a fun experience
we had at a dinner appointment. We were able to go to a family home
evening this monday where the member asked me if I had seen the Ensign, I
hadn't. He showed me a picture of a some missionaries, I saw Elder
Miranda, I thought I saw another missionary of Samoan desent, but It
just turned out to be me, the member thought it was a polynesian
missionary aswell. It was pretty funny, pick up your ensigns look in the
middle pages, in the UK section of this Febuary's ensign. What I find
most funny is in that picture you see all the other missionaries working
very hard, then you see Elder Miranda standing around and me smiling at
the Camera. Golden! eh?
I've
consumed so many pancakes this week it is unreal, we had a pancake
eating competition with some members for lunch this week and it was very
intense. I hope I never eat another pancake until next year. In other
news, I have a new companion, I'm showing him the ropes of being a Zone
Leader it is his first time being one, and so I'm training him on all
the things we need to do. His name is Elder Webster, just like the
dictionary. He is from Mesa, Arizona, he currently is working to get his
english driving license, so it looks like I'm doing all the driving for
the next few weeks, I mean that would be okay in normal life, but when
you put things into perspective, we have driven over 1000 miles already
this month. Yesterday was so intense, I went to transfer day, there are
so many new missionaries, espcially a bunch of Sister Missionaries, this
influx of new missionaries with the age limit for missionary service is
hitting our mission hard. They are just all so young.
We
have had a fairly average week, teaching non- stop, we are aiming for
30+ lessons these up coming weeks, hopefully we can throw some records
out the window, with that being said, it was pretty interesting to watch
our car windscreen being replaced. Well, I'll be e-mailing again on
monday so take a look at that Ensign bit in the UK pages this Febuary.
With Love,
Elder Sapaden
