lots to do

This week was a hard one but a good one. There was lots to do and lots of people were busy or out of town, but we did what we could. For New Year Eve we gathered the Elders together again and once again ordered pizza. Early New Year Day we left to go give service to a sister who needed help fixing a leaky hose.

Other than that, Thursday we organized a family home evening for the whole ward. About 50 people came...that`s about two times the assistance on Sunday last week. There was a message and games and refreshment (we all put in a little to make it work) and it was a great success. Also, sacrament attendence shot up to 70 this week with 5 investigators and a couple inactive families that we brought. We`re seeing some good fruits. Pray that we`re able to see them all the way through to activation and baptism.

A new Elder showed up as well, who just got his visa. He has 5 months in the mission already, but he was in Santa Rosa, California waiting to be able to come here. He seems like a cool guy, and his name is Elder Johnson. He`s from Mesa, Arizona. Apparently, he knows my BYU roommate Nathan Larson. We`ll see how that turns out too. Transfers are tomorrow (they`ve been moved to Tuesday), so in a couple hours I find out what happens. Odds are I`m staying though, because E. Juarez goes home in February and they won`t leave him here as a ZL for his last transfer.

Well gotta run to a lunch with the zone before we have class and send them off to their new areas. We (E. Juarez and I) will be giving the class. It should be pretty cool, and really spiritual. We want them to give testimonies of the things they`ve learned and experienced in this transfer.

Well, gotta run, not time to comment on much else today. I love you, and hope you had a fantastic New Years. Be safe and happy as well.

Love
Elder Lund
