Hey Family!
Well transfer week has been fun--not
really. Kind of stressful but we're getting settled in. That address I
gave is correct. They're like brand new apartments and if you look up
Williamsburg Dr, it's right by it. I don't know why google maps doesn't
pick it up.
My new apartment is sweet. It has a washer and dryer and
doesn't smell like weed. And yeah, Bellevue is a lot nicer than Grand
Island. And the ward seems pretty awesome as well. I mean Grand Island
has some nice areas but I don't think I've seen any projects in
Bellevue. Oh and we don't even live in our area so I haven't seen much
of it. We live about 2 miles from our boundary. And we have no car and
no phone but I hear they're working on getting us both.
The Bishop
yesterday was wondering if we're allowed to drive other people's cars
but unfortunately we're not. It's pretty awesome cause the ward seems
like they're bending over backwards for us. They must be sick of the
Sisters haha. There has been an investigator going to church for a month
and a half and they haven't even seen her or even gotten her address.
Which I got within being at the church for 2 minutes. But yeah we
haven't been able to get like anything done, not having a phone or car.
My companion's name is Elder Mendel. He's from Canada and he's 28 years
old. Yeah. He's a bit interesting. Pretty awkward so I do most of the
talking now. Which is good for me cause it's making me a bit more talkative. Well I have to be now. He goes home in 3 months so lucky him.
He predicts I'll kill him off and then become a District Leader and
Trainer. That will be a joy.
Chappell said that training is the most
difficult thing. And he's a Zone Leader now. That's why I got
transferred. But whatever Bellevue seems like a nice place.
That's great
about Mom and Jenn's weight loss! I have lost around 25 and
missionaries that haven't seen me in a while all noticed I've lost
weight so that makes me pretty happy.
We have our work cut for us this
next transfer. I'll probably tract a few times but It'll be a good
experience. I'm gonna miss Elder Chappell but I'm sure I have stuff I
need to learn from Elder Mendel. I've already learned from him not to
serve a mission till you're 28. Man that would suck.
Well anyways I love
you guys! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Ballif
