6.6—Impending Transfers :}

Dearest Peoples of the Internet,

I hope all is going well with you!  Well with most of you ;) 

Anywho, things down in New Mexico have been very good! So the apple trees have started to blossom in one of the villages, High Rolls, and it is BEAUTIFUL! :) I have missed seeing green lawns and blossoming trees! #igotluckytobeincloudcroft 

Also, one of our Zone Leaders, Elder Schneider, came up to Cloudcroft this past week for a 2-day exchange. Which is really strange because typically ZLs don't regularly hold exchanges with normal missionaries. Also it was strange because it was for 2 days--the average exchange only lasts for 1 day. And so we were a little curious of why he was coming, but it actually turned out really well. As it turns out, the Mission President had asked him to come on exchanges up to Cloudcroft to check out the area and see if there was enough work to justify having missionaries up here... Whew! And Elder Schneider loved it up here. He recognized the unique problems that we face in our area, and he said that he thinks it still  has good potential for missionary work! He says that as long as we can go the extra-mile, we can transform our area into something amazing! So yep, that was our week! Also, fun fact, Elder Schneider is the oldest missionary in our mission--he just turned 27, and I gave him a hard time that my dad was only 5 years older than him :} Muahahahah

Oh and also, we were able to get a new investigator this week! Her name is Shirley and she seems very excited about the Gospel. One of her Co-workers introduced her to the Book of Mormon, and she feels that this is the church where she needs to be to come closer to God! :)  It's funny to see how God works to bring his children to the truth.

Anywho, that's all  that's really new with me! Oh wait, transfers will be next Tuesday, and since Elder Barlow has been here for 7 1/2 months, I think he's getting the boot, but I guess he could also stay! So maybe next Tuesday I will have a new comanero!  It will be sad to see Elder Barlow go, but I think it's his time!

Anywho, take care!

Elder Jacob Guymon
