Well, this week has been rather nice.
The
work seems to be picking up. Giving a comparison: When I first started
here, we were getting 4 Teaching Opportunities (TOs) a week. TOs consist
of Lessons with a Member Present, Other lessons, and Lessons with Less
Actives/Recent Converts. Well, last week (week before the one that just
finished) we had 8 TOs, and this week we had 13 TOs. 
Woo
Hoo! Most of them have been with less actives, but at least we're
teaching people. A missionary who is not teaching is not happy. We're
still trying to find more investigators though. We'll keep trying.
I had a realization last week. This will have been my
longest area of my mission thus far. At the end of this transfer, I will
have been here for 3 transfers, technically tied with when I was in
Tempe. However, I was there for a transfers of 5, 6, and 6 weeks
(totalling 17 weeks), whereas I'll have been here for transfers of 6, 5,
and 7 weeks (totalling 18 weeks). So I will have been here for one week
longer than Tempe. hehe.
Transfer calls are this approaching Sunday. I just have
an uneasiness in my stomach that I might be getting transfered. After
my first transfer here in this area, I had a feeling that I was going to
be here until the Gilbert Temple opened. However, I'm now uncertain if I
might have mistaken "temple opens" with "temple opens to the public"
(a.k.a. - the open house, which is underway as of last Saturday.) I
don't want to leave, yet.
Oh, well. If the Lord wills it, so let it be done.
------------------------------------------------
Oh, we
had a flash of inspiration. Perhaps the reason we haven't gotten iPads
yet is so as not to disrupt our focus on the Temple Open House. Based on
what Bro. Watson was saying, the timing would line up that we get them
shortly after the openning of the Gilbert temple. We'll have to wait and
see.
------------------------------------------------
Guess what...We had a temple trip last week, and there's another new video. Apparently, President Monson authorized not one but three
new temple videos to be made. The idea behind this is that the three
videos will be used intermitently, so that you don't necesarily know
which one will be used. Each video highlights something different, and
there is much to be learned though them. I'm excited.
That's it for this week. Until next time.
Con amor,
-Elder Jordon Hill-
