Dear Friends and Family,
How's it going? Is time flying by as fast in the real world
as it is as a missionary? Not much happened this week out of the ordinary. We
got information on transfers, though! I'll be staying in Sonoma with Elder
Smith, so nothing will be changing for me :).
Oh, I forgot to mention last week, but I was assigned to
give a talk in church yesterday. The member of the bishopric who assigned it to
me said he needed a 5 minute talk to go before the high councilman, and not to
go any longer, so the high councilman could have enough time! He assigned me
the topic of loving one another.
So, it turns out that even as a missionary it is still easy
to put off a talk until Saturday night ;). Haha, I had been studying
on the topic all week, but didn't sit down and start writing until
Saturday night. I made sure to prepare a short talk but when we showed up at
church yesterday, turns out one of the speakers was sick! I was told to
lengthen my talk to 10 minutes. I'd attach the talk that I wrote, but as I
began to speak, I almost forgot that I had written anything down at all! I
spoke for about 15 minutes, so the talk I gave was completely different than
the talk I prepared, haha.
Some really good news is that our most solid investigator is
still progressing quickly! He went four wheeling with one of the members on
Saturday, and is really creating a bond with the members. It's so awesome when
members work so well with our investigators!
Sorry that I didn't have anything exciting to report on this
week. Hopefully next week is more exiting!
Love,
Elder Butterfield
