Transfer

Dear Family,

So there is kind of a lot to talk about this time. As you all know, I was transferred to Farr West. My new companion is Elder Henthorn. I guess he is kind of my greeny buster as well as my second trainer. I have only known him for about 12 hrs, but so far he seems to be about the apposite from Elder Motsamei (last comp). He is much more open with people, and animated. That is kind of what a greeny. buster is like though, to sort of break you in.

This area seems to be a lot more active with teaching and baptizing. I believe being here will help me be able to learn to teach better and become the missionary the Lord needs me to be.

I want to share an experience that happened last night while I was still in Clinton. We were out doing a bit of "tracting" because that is what we do a bit there. And the last house we went to the lady was already outside kind of watching us. We started talking to her for a few minutes, and I learned pretty quickly that she was pretty anti-mormon and anti-Book of Mormon. Let me tell you, we were there for too long. She was saying some things that made me a bit angry and I held back, but Elder Motsamai was kind of arguing with her. As we were talking with her, I was just feeling upset and confused and not good. But then, as soon as we left, the Spirit came back and I felt much more at peace and relaxed. This church is true. Don't let anyone lead you astray any other way, especially coming up with the election. Satan will lead many away. Stand firm. Anyway, I wanted to share that because it really strengthened my testimony and I know I will be running into a lot of those type of people.

Just a heads up for you mom, my new companion's mother will be calling you sometime in the next few weeks. He says she does that with all his companions, so don't freak out. And dad, do you remember Connor Walz from Mesa? He was apparently related to us. Well, cool thing is that he is serving in this mission. Haven't seen him yet, I just know he barely got in. I am kind of excited about that.

So I can't think of what else to say. I am pretty excited for this transfer and I expect great things to come. I hope you are all doing well there. I love you all!

See you on the other side!

Love,
Elder Connell
