"Good morning! I say that every week, don't I?"

I most frequently wish for normal people music, but the burden of worry doesn't really exist anymore. I've noticed over the last few months that my concerns have made a distinct shift from myself to those that i'm teaching and serving. My mindset is very different, everywhere i go i expect to find someone to teach and when i don't i'm extremely disappointed. When i first got to ohio i was just fine with a small teaching pool because it meant i didn't have to go too far out of my comfort zone, now i long to be stretched.

Yes, transfers made some changes in my life. I'm training again. My companions name Elder Upton. He's from Vernal, UT and is a great kid. He's 6' 9" and a serious although. I feel very small next to him. Training will be different this time around because i now am much more famililiar with what works and what doesn't. During my talk with Pres. Jensen, when he extended the call, he told me to work hard and quickly because the Lord has other things for me to do next transfer. So i have 6 weeks teach what it took 3 months to teach Elder Maylett. I'm excited though.

We've got some great investigators going right now. We found an awesome young lady this week. Her name is Megan Mason. She's 18 and getting ready to leave for college. We extended her a baptismal date last night for Aug. 15 and she excitedly accepted.
