So you know how I told you I would
be going to Cherry Grove and serving with an Elder Who looks like Nick
Cage? Well President Manion called me over just before transfer meeting
and informed me that I would be going to Nottingham with a fellow by the
name of Elder Parker instead.
Well, their
isn't much going on in my new area, and a lot of new adjustments. I've
been working really hard to clean this place up over the last couple
days. The ward here is really good and the mission leader has been
taking initiative to get the members involved in the work. I'm trying
really hard too. The Lord wants me to learn something here. I am praying
more earnestly and studying more diligently and trying to become the
best missionary I can be. It's been a really stressful couple days, and I
fear there will be a lot of stress in the future, but I know that as I
trust in the lord and cease to dwell on my own short comings and look
for good in others, that the Lord will make something more of me. Jesus
said that "no man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is
fit for the kingdom of heaven." Neal A. Maxwell said the key to being a
good servant of the lord is neither looking back, nor forward, but
focusing on improving now, little by little and not dwelling on our
weaknesses. Then we become more effective instruments in the hand of the
Lord.

I love you all so much and look forward to spending eternity with you.
Love,
