Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all. I cant believe that transfer is done already though. Been out for three transfers now and I am startin up the fourth one now. Pretty crazy, time does indeed fly.
So that was my final week in Yerington. I just assumed I would follow suit with "the norm" within the mission on leaving after three transers. That is exactly what happened. Ill start with some minor things at the beginning of the week though.
So the week went by pretty normal, we did a fair amount of teaching and it was very good. We actually found a new family we were trying to start teaching, his name is Robert. He works at Scolaris too, like Melissa. We tracted into him, and he says he had been taught by missionaries a bit when he lived in California, but not as much as he wouldve liked because he had to move. So we is a very promising potential, and Im hoping they can continue to teach him.
The remainder of the week was pretty normal, we had the usual appointments and things, and it went well. The stake presidency came down and went on splits with the bishopric and they put a list of people together to visit, mainly consisting of less actives. That was way good for those people. We went around and visited the ones thatg they did and they all really enjoyed it. The majority of them actually showed up to church the following Sunday, so we were really happy with that.
On Saturday we had a lesson with Dale Rosaschi which normally took place Tuesday evenings, but the Bradshaws (Ward Missionaries) decided to put together a little dinner/lesson thing at their place instead so we did that.
It was a really good time, and we had a good lesson with all of them. The Lindseys were also there, the other ward missionaries. And finally.. Dale showed up to church!! He hadnt come yet since we had been teaching him, so we were really excited. Only 2 more times and he can be baptized. That was a good way to go out, having him show up for the final Sunday.
When we got home Saturday night we got our transfer calls. Elder Dunkley was to stay in Yerington, and I was going to be heading down to Vegas! I am now in Central Las Vegas, and my new companion is Elder Mabeza. He is from Malasyia. He's a way cool guy, we're gettin along really great. I was a little worried at first, that he wouldnt be able to speak very good English, but he's got almost perfect English. I guess they teach it in their High Schools over there, plus he went to Hawaii for about a year before he came out. So i was greatful for that. I actually found out I would be leaving around 4pm on Saturday, they just didnt have the specifics for me, like which Vegas zone (there are 5 different zones here in Vegas) and who my companion would be.
So it was pretty tough leaving Yerington. I dont miss the place at all to be honest, but I really miss the people. There were some things I wouldve liked to see happen before leaving, since I worked with those people for quite a while and they were getting close, but I was ready for a change of pace.
Things are going to be good here in Vegas, I can feel it. Theres sooooo many people here, so its gonna be good. Hopefully I can continue to progress the work here in Vegas!
All in all it was a good week, and Im excited to be here in Vegas. It was a long trip down, but I enjoyed it. This time I was in a car instead of the transfer van, so I was glad. I came down with one of the Elders that was in my district, Elder Nemeth. He went home yesterday, it was his last transfer.
He was a good guy, gonna miss him. Also rode down with a couple other people. The bus makes a bunch of stops along the way, for gassing up, bathroom, lunch, etc. We decided not to wait for oall of em, and we just cruised on down the whole way. So we got back pretty early. It was a fun time.
Well, thats all for now, hope you all have a good week!
