Transfers:
Elder DuBose is now home of course and Elder Donaldson has come to take his place. He is a good head taller than me and has been on his mission for about just as long. We look forward to serving together. He is an excellent teacher and asks lots of inspired questions.
Cari . . .that stinker is getting married before I get back! That's alright though, it is all about moving people to the next ordinance. Nathan e-mailed me today and told me the news which meant a lot to me. I think that they will be a great eternal family. I approve.
Sadie is leaving too! I can't believe how much is happening in the next little while! 4 at home now!
Thanks for the awesome pictures on drop box. looks like lots of fun.
So the good news is we have a baptism this week! On Saturday, and he is having his baptismal interview this evening. Lots of good things happening right now in the mission. President Daines is phenomenal and is really pushing to have every area with one baptism per month. There seems to be an added measure of accountability now. He will ask us who the people are that were recently baptized, how old they are, what their concerns are, who it is that is going to be baptized soon. He holds us super accountable with knowing the zone. It is a little nerve wracking but awesome and a perfect environment for growth. Since I am now the senior zone leader it seems that there is a lot more decision making to do, luckily I have an awesome companion to help out.
Well I need to repent, I told you I would be sending a letter this last week and I did not. Transfers were crazy. 75 percent of the companionships were changed. I will repent and do better this week.
Love y'all and hope you have an awesome week, and for Sadie an awesome last week in the nest.
Love,
Elder Beutler
We bailed 536 bails of hay for Bro. Weaver this week and I have some mean blisters to prove it.
