so long plymouth

March 19, 2012

Well, transfers hit and i'm taking off. It caught us off guard. Elder Adamson's been here in Plymouth for a while now and he only has this next transfer before he goes home, so we thought for sure he'd leave before me and i was planning to be here for a while. so that's still really weird. but that's how it works. ain't no thing but a chicken wing. don't know where i'm going to yet, i'll find out tomorrow morning at transfer meeting.

but on a better note, laura little was baptized on saturday! :D it was awesome, she's just a top notch individual and is going to do some great things. and if you haven't noticed from the picture, that's lil' wayne standing right there. she was baptized by lil' wayne. few can say that. so that in of itself was a sweet experience too. he was baptized a little under two months ago and is already using his priesthood to baptize people. she was just excited to be baptized and didn't have a preference for who did the ordinance so we thought of wayne, he couldn't stop saying how much of an honor it was to use his priesthood. so his family came out to the baptism. and laura's family came out to the baptism, and we had some of our investigators there. when she was changing into dry clothes, elder adamson and i put on a short 15 min movie showing wilfred woodruff's experience in finding the church and getting baptized, it taught about the apostasy and the restoration and brought the spirit. and when the movie ended i bore my testimony. it was a really neat experience, the spirit was really strong and you could tell even the non-members were feeling it.

those are the biggest things from this week. i'm a little bummed i have to go, this has been my favorite area so far, and not to mention there are a handful of people we've been working with who will more than likely get baptized this next transfer which i'd like to be here for. but i'm looking forward to seeing where i'm headed. today's going to be busy, haven't started packing and we've got some errands to run. these past three months have kicked my butt, haven't knocked me down but it's been intense. there's a lot going on all of the time. maybe i'll just get transferred to some remote area in the middle of nowhere with no extra responsibilities? :) we'll find out tomorrow. but have a great week, love ya guys.

ps. sorry i haven't done a great job getting you pictures, i'm hoping to send an sd card to you soon with my winter clothes (it's been in the 70s this week). but there's a pic of me and elder adamson in front of the tigers' stadium when we had our district activity in downtown detroit a few weeks ago.
