Big Suprise

As for this week it has been pretty crazy for me to. So there I was eating my breakfast on Tuesday(Being here in Carmel for all of 6 days) and the phone rings and it is President Collins which is a big surprise and then he gives us an even bigger surprise by telling us that Elder Jorgensen(My companion) was to be emergency transferred at noon that day because there was an Elder that needed to be near LDS Family Services. So now here I am with another companion and his name is Elder Weaver and he is from Vernal, UT but he was raised in Idaho Falls till he was 16 and then moved. So Elder Jorgensen is like a brother to me and I know that this emergency transfer was all in the Lords hands but the one thing that I was worried about it that I did not know the area at all and hardly any of the members, but luckily I did get to meet all of our investigators, so at least I had something under my belt.

Now for the miracle. I love the Lord so much and it still amazes me at what he can do. Before I even met Elder Weaver I said a prayer and asked for all the help that I could get, and my Father in Heaven really has given alot. For one he has helped me stay calm and have courage and then he has brought alot to memory. Still though even greater than that is that I have been able to learn things such as: the area, members names, etc. at a level that I know that I could not and have not been able to do by myself. The Lord knows so much about me, in allk reality he knows more than I do even and because of that I have seen that the chalenges that he gives me are to teach me about myself, to teach me of what I am capable of, and to teach me of what I can become. A sign of success is showing progress and that is exactly what has been happening to my testimony. It has come a long way in this short amount of time and the awesome thing is that the only part that I had and have in it is the desire to become better and then the Lord does the rest.

Thanks for all that you have all done for me and for all your prayers, and keep praying because I'll take all the help that I can get. Love ya.

P.S.-Elder Eric Jones came out with me and we were river guides together and now he is one of my Zone Leaders, we finally can talk river, hahaha.
P.S.S- There is a young family that just moved into the area and the husband used to run the river as a guide to and we just went off on it for a good 10-15 minutes before Elders Quarm started.
