Hi everyone!
I was sure glad to get all of your emails this week. Thank you so much for
taking the time to write to me!
This week has been kind of hard, I have been feeling kind of sick and have
been suffering from some pretty severe head aches all week, especially toward
the end of the day. But thankfully it hasn't been bad enough to keep me inside,
so thats good!
Its transfer week! We got transfer calls last night and sadly, Elder
Growcock is getting shipped out, down to Roseville. He wont be serving in my old
ward, but he will be living in my old apartment! Thats kind of sweet. I was able
to get pretty familiar with the area that he will be in so I was able to give
him the scoop on it ha. As for meee... I have been called to train! I am
soooooooo excited. These next 2 transfers are going to be hard, but way fun! It
will be really cool to help a new missionary get acquainted with the life of a
missionary, and bring him up in the way he should go. I am going down to the
mission office tomorrow and will be bringing him back up with me on Wednesday
morning. Its going to be really cool because we already have Wednesday booked so
he is going to have a super busy first day in the mission field. I hope he is
ready!
This has been a great last week with Elder Growcock though, and a good
transfer. We had a lot of success together, more than I have seen my
whole mission so far. One of our investigators, a 65 year old man was baptized on Saturday. It was so awesome and such a good baptism. He is a
pretty quiet and reserved guy, and would never get up and speak in public. But
when he came up out of the water he yelled, " ALL RIGHT!!" Haaha it had everyone
laughing because nobody expected it. He is doing really good. We aren't wasting
any time with him, we are getting him to the temple as soon as possible! His
retention depends on it! He will be getting the priesthood this coming Sunday
and we hope to have him attend the temple to do baptisms on July 7th. Baptized
and to the temple in 3 weeks! I have such a strong testimony of temple
attendance. I know that if he makes it there on the 7th, he will be so much more
likely to remain active in the church for the rest of his life, and what a happy
life he has ahead of him. I will send pictures next week!
Anyways, this is going to be an exciting upcoming week full of learning. So
far my mission has been great, and it just keeps getting better! I love you all
very much. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Be safe, and have a good
week!
Love,
Elder Bradley Dillard
