Well, its been a little while since i’ve done one of these wrapup emails for the site. Big news coming from the office today. Starting this next week, our p-day will be mondays from now on. President Monson and Elder Perry asked all the Mission presidents to change the day, so our president complied.
I’m kinda mixed on a monday p-day. I liked the mini-break in the middle of the week. However having a break after sunday is nice too i guess.

It’s been a good week, this 5th week of my 2nd transfer. My companion and I are getting along great, and having a lot of fun. We’re finding more investigators still and dropping others. Kerry is still progressing and gaining a good testimony.

I have recently started reading the book of mormon more. All of the sudden i can’t put it down. There is so much of the gospel in that book, plus i can imagine it all happening in my head.

This Monday or Wednesday (since we don’t know yet) is transfers. I’ll be sad if i have to leave St. Marys. I feel as if i belong in that branch. They have such a strong bond, and  i truly love the people here. I never thought i’d get so attached, but it happened.

This week we got to visit with an 82 year old couple who have been in the city of Celina, which is in the St Marys branch for over 50 years! We heard so many stories of them growing up, and how they’ve been married for 64 years. It’s quite amazing to listen to their stories and their testimonies. They still get around normally too, i thought they were maybe in their 60’s, but have since learned that they are 82 years old. Amazing.

This gospel is true, the book of mormon is the word of god and there are his elect looking to find the truth. All we have to do is give all our trust to the lord and our efforts and we’ll be able to find the elect. I love all of you guys so much, thank you for supporting me thus far.

-Elder Marini
