Week 60

hey everyone.

i dont have a lot of time to email this week so i will be summing my days up real fast.

Monday.

We went to mandeville cause pres had to talk to elder danvers today. idk what it was about but it seemed to make him a little upset. it started in conference but idk what it is and i really dont want to. but we didnt get any teaching done today. it was too stressful really. it was relaxing but at the same time it was so stressful with everything that went on.

Tuesday.

well we had a late start today. we spent most of the day just fixing the bikes. then i went and taught seminary. thats always a fun thing to do. but right as we got into planning pres called us and said that elder danvers needed to pack his bags cause he would be going home in the morning. so there went the day. a kick right in the gut. i will be getting elder rammell, who is also having his comp go home. he is from my mtc group so im excited to serve with him. i just wish that it didnt have to be under these circumstances.

Wednesday

so elder danvers went home today. freaking sucks. i will always want to forget the moments of packing a comps suitcase, and then watching him drive off. it freaking sucks. but i did get elder rammell today. me and him had a lesson with a lady. long time since that has happened haha. it seems like she could go places. we'll see tho.

Thursday

Well this week just gets worse and worse. pres came into santa cruz today and interviewed me, he told me that "it would be best if i leave Santa Cruz" oh geez was i pissed. He drove me all the way to kingston and then told me that i was going to be in Yallahs for the next little while. holy crap. lets just say that this day sucked and all i want is to be back in santa cruz right now.

Friday

well my first day in yallahs was pretty good haha. i still want to be back in santa but yallahs is a really good place. we saw the top investigator, Alwayne, who should be getting baptized really soon. then we did friday night activities. yallahs has a missionary as the branch president so we have to be there. right now im comps with elder newcomb (gilbert, AZ) and elder beckford (sav la mar, Jamaica). pres told me that at the end of the transfer i will be with elder hall (ogden, UT). his trainer, elder craeger (kaysville UT) is going home so i will be his second comp. its a great place tho.

Saturday

We had a ton of lessons today. more than i had in santa at least. we had to taxi to most of them as well. but they are all super prepared people. peoples names are Shakiera, sister nicely, Jackie, and Nikki. Shakiera and sister nicely i think are the most prepared. they just live a little distance away from the church. the only concern they have haha. but it was a super good day. i am having a ton of fun in yallahs. i look forward to being here.

Sunday

well my first sunday was an interesting one. yallahs gets a little bit more than santa cruz does as far as people coming to church. the members are great, like santa, and they want to do missionary work. we just have to bring them out haha. the people have such powerful testimonies of the gospel. i really am going to love it here. serving with elder newcomb and beckford is so great. we saw nikki today and it was such a great lesson. 

sorry for the shortness this week. i will get a longer one next week. i just had like no time today.

Love,

Elder Kurt Meacham
