E-mail of July 18, 2005

Well, transfers came in on Saturday night! Elder Hanson is going to be serving in Murrietta. I will be staying in Redlands. BUT, I recieved a call on Saturday morning from President Ewer! I will be training a new missionary! I am pretty nervous, but also kind of excited. I feel kind of sorry for him though, because it will be over 100 degrees all week!!! I don't know who he is, or anything about him. President Ewer doesn't pick my companion until tomorrow, and I don't find out who it is until after my trainer's meeting tomorrow. I will have to stay at another missionary's apartment tonight, because I do not have a companion with me.

Fortunately we do have a lot of work in this area right now, so it shouldn't be too hard to find things for me and my new companion to do. The only thing I am nervous about really is what he will be like. I know I can do this, I know that I have to be really obedient and very hard working.

Aside from that, not a lot is going on. I am having a great time here. Sister Johnson (Craig's mom) called and asked if I could come and visit Julie or something this week, so I said I would ask President Ewer. I asked him right after my training call, and he said no, only because I have a brand new missionary (which I completely understand, I would have felt bad, and a little awkward if I had gone). I will let you know next week all about my companion. I love you and pray for you.

Love,
Timothy
