I am staying another transfer in the Fall River area!! I am way excited about it!!! There has been some drama this past week surrounding transfers. I've been speaking with President Pendleton nightly about the area and he told me earlier this week that I could go ahead and plan on staying in the area. The following night, however, he started asking some questions about how the ward has been doing with scheduling lessons for us to stay busy. One of the promises that our ward made in order to get the missionaries back in the area was that they would help by getting lessons set up for us. Well, they haven't done very well at it and the work has been slow for the past transfer. President was concerned about that. He told me that we might be getting moved out. This was the last thing that I wanted to hear, so I jumped on the phone the following day and called our RS President, EQ President, WML, and Ward Missionary to tell them about what I had heard. The news that we might be getting pulled kind of lit a fire with the ward members and we are looking at about 6 lessons scheduled for this week now. I told President this, and told him that we also found 2 new investigators, and he said that we would be staying!! Yes!! Now, we've just got to make sure that the ward follows through this next transfer so the missionaries can continue to stay here. Hopefully that all made sense. : )
The weather has been really cold lately'. It was 14 degrees when we went to church yesterday. We keep hearing that it is supposed to snow, but it seems like everyone is telling us lies because it hasn't yet. Maybe this next week. I definitely wasn't expecting to be serving in an area like this or else I would have brought some warmer clothes. I think I'll survive though. : )
Well, I think that is about it for this week. I'm looking forward to Christmas and speaking with the family. I haven't quite figured out where we are going to be yet for Christmas, so I'll get you all the information probably next week. We get an hour to talk.
Thanks to everyone for everything. Oh, if Leah reads this, congrats on the engagement!!! If I remember right it was a year ago that we went to my work party and I told you that within a year you would be engaged or married...look who was right! Oh, and Elder Copeland, get used to not getting mail.
Anyways, I love you all! Merry Christmas in a couple weeks! Geez, that year mark is going to be here so soon! I can't believe it!
