Called as a trainer for the second time! {Email from Friday, August 10}






Hello everyone...

So...moves were this last Wednesday and I’ve been called to be a trainer again...haha a fresh missionary out of the MTC....holy cow. So much pressure...the kid I’m training is Elder Sparks from Orem UTAH!! Haha what a surprise. He’s a really awesome kid! He’s 6 foot 2. We get along very well already. So we did a lot of traveling the last few days. We drove up to the temple to pick up Sparks and chilled for a bit, then started heading back down to Helston. We spent the night in a city called Poole with some other elders, then got up early and picked up our district leader and continued our journey south west. Haha it was so long. And I’m still trying to recover from driving so much....

So my birthday was great! I actually found out the morning of my birthday that I was going to be a trainer, got a call from President Millar, it was so scary to see that he was calling our mobile phone. So yep he told me that I was called to be a trainer again and I was shocked once again. So I got that call around 7:00am. Then my comp. Elder Stewart made me green pancakes with this really fattening syrup that was also green haha! He put food coloring in all that he made me. He’s such a great guy, that was really nice of him! And in the afternoon we had a Zone conference call telling everyone who’s moving and other news.. And we received the worst news for us helston missionaries... we were told that we are losing the car...I was so mad. You have no idea. I didn’t show it.. But I was so mad inside...Helston is one of the largest areas in the whole mission, and it's all farmland and the buses are terrible here. Haha so now we wont be able to visit at least 4 of out investigators because they live in tiny villages in the middle of nowhere. And we don’t have any reliable members that could come on teaches with us... so we are kinda screwed. And I don’t know how to use the buses. And I’m training. So I hope you guys have a little taste of what I’m going through right now. Haha but it’ll be fine. Ill try and figure stuff out... we might miss out buses once in a while. And might have to walk home from Penzance once in a while which is a 15 mile walk. No big deal.. Just take our car. Haha anyways later that night (on my birthday, just remember) we went to our church for a dinner appointment with the bishop and his family, and the Joliffs, they are so great! They pretty much did a surprise birthday party for me! They are so wonderful! They made me a cake and we had "hot dogs" which were tiny tiny tiny. and pasta! It was great!

Anyways, thank you for all the happy birthday emails! I haven’t read them yet cause I’m only supposed to send this email and call it good till Monday.. So I will respond to your emails on Monday! I love all of you! Keep me in your prayers cause I’m definitely going to need some help. Haha love you all! :)
Cheers! ;)
