Life is good. Crazy right now. I got transferred up to Central Las Vegas. Not the best part of town, but close to the temple. We have so much work to do here. Our apartment and area book were a MESS! The last Elders went home together and didn't really take care of their wad at all. Our wards are SMALL. Really struggling. We had 80 people at sacrament meeting and 59 last week. The strong members are burnt out and tired. So much inactivity. So we've got a lot of work to do. I'm praying to stop the downward spiral and boost the ward members. Light a fire again.
I'm so tired! We've been working so so hard. My companion has been a good sport about it. He's a good kid. Had a rough couple of companions (two were engaged, one got sent home) and so President's hoping I can help turn him around. But he likes to work after so long of not being able to.
This week was one of the most spiritual highlights of my life. I got to go see recent converts from Seven Hills get sealed in the temple. It was such a beautiful experience. I had never seen a sealing before. I was amazed at how simple it really is. So simple, so real. Such a treat. And it was SO fun to see my friends from that ward. It really felt like a homecoming. I didn't realize just how good of friends I made with that ward. AH! Pay day for sure.
Love you tons! Thanks for your prayers and your faith. I'm doing well and plan on working as hard as possible. Loving life and staying happy.

PS. Hair cut day… sort of.
