It was transfers this past week. Justin however is staying put. Justin has a new companion; Elder Gardner. Elder G. is from Layton, Utah. I think Justin was a little excited about that. Elder G. has been in the field about 4 months. Justin tells us he feels like he is getting to be an "old" missionary. We laugh. Elder Gardner is now the new district leader; I am guessing Justin might get transferred next time; since he gets to show Elder G. the area, etc.
Justin's last companion Elder Carlson is still in there district. Justin said that Elder Carlson & his companion are about ten miles away from them, that they are re-opening an area in the mission.
Justin has been quite busy. They have moved there ward mission leader into his new house; helped some other members landscape & lay sod. Justin said they did an awesome job & it looks good. Along with there service; they had another member ward family that had a double funeral; a guy had a heart attack after being released from the hospital & then the grandmother passed away the day after; Elders were there for support & assistance.
Blessings continue for the Elders; Justin says they have found a "golden" investigator. He said the guy is really cool, and was thrilled to see us Elders. They taught him a bit & Justin said he could tell he was itching to read the Book of Mormon. It was exciting to teach him. The spirit was engulfing all. Justin said it was neat, that he even got goosebumps a few times; one of the best lessons taught; defiantly a mission highlight.
