Well, after a very short 6 weeks, i am no longer a greenie. My trainer got transfered out of st. marys, and i am still here to take over the area.

I feel quite blessed that i am trusted enough by the lord  and the mission president to take over st. marys. usually you are trained for 12 weeks (2 transfers) but apparently i was ready. It’s quite an undertaking but i think im ready…

I’ve been up here in the city of Findlay all day today hanging out with a zone leader, and 3 other missionarys in the zone. I haven’t met my new companion yet, but one of the guys here has served with him.  The new comp is from Utah, hes been out 18 months, not a big sports guy, but apparently is really nice. I guess i’m looking forward to this.   My old companion, Elder Bergeson is now in the City of Elyria (west of Cleveland i think) and he is a Zone leader. He’s taught me so much doctrine and so much about the mission and being a missionary. I am very thankful

I’ll be sending Tim my memory card very soon, and Mom will get some pictures soon as well.

It’s just crazy how things are working out, people keep saying i’m going to do great things and i’m just taking things as they come. I know i just have to thank the lord, work the hardest i can, and everything will be alright.
