The first couple of
days have been a whirlwind. I have two
companions, Elder Partridge and Elder Fisk. They are both coming to Salem with
me. Elder Partridge is straight out of high school. He isn't as big on sports
or anything like that and is sort of reserved, but he is a good kid. Elder Fisk is 19, soon to be 20. He spent the past four years living in the
Kansas City area near where Staci is sort of. He is a little more outgoing, at
least more so than me. In our district, we have a total of 7 Elders and 3
Sisters. The Sisters are all going to the Portland mission. The other Elders
are going to the Salt Lake City Mission. I am definitely the oldest in the
district though.
The first day was a ton at first. We went
straight through some orientation stuff and to a meeting. The Spirit was
definitely present in the meeting, especially when we were singing. After that
we got to know our teachers a bit. We have two teachers who will rotate off and
on. Yesterday, we taught our first lesson to an investigator (which was our
teacher). It went alright, but it is definitely something that I am not used
to. I hope that as I continue trying to study and work I will be able to teach
by the Spirit and not worry about things. I am trying to allow the Spirit to
guide my thoughts and studies.
And I
am exhausted! I am sure that that is not going to change over the next 2 years
though.
