Dear Family,
We have had a crazy week! First of all transfers came in on Saturday! Elder Fainga'anuku is being transferred to Palm Springs, which means I will have a new companion, which makes 8 companions for 8 transfers! My new companion will be a greenie! Yep! I'm training again! On top of that I was called as a District Leader. I of course know nothing about my new companion since he hasn't even flown in, but I will let you know next week. I am nervous to have so much responsibility, but I can handle it, as long as I keep on the strait and narrow. Mom mentioned about the Family History program in the last letter. The reason ours isn't working out to well yet is because it is too complicated. We are supposed to coordinate with the Bishop every time we want to hand out a card, and then we have to get a card from the High Priest Group Leader. Then we help them fill it out and give it back to the High Priest Group Leader who gives it to the Family History Consultant, who researches and finds as much information as possible, makes a packet, and gives the packet to the High Priest Group Leader and then to us, at which point we are supposed to present it to the investigator/recent convert with the High Priest Group Leader, Ward Mission Leader (if they are an investigator), and Family History Consultant present. It is a great program, but it is very hard to get everything to go smoothly. Anyways, another exciting thing that happened last night is that we recieved a call from one of our Ward Mission Leaders who told us the Bishop has committed a PMF to baptism for this Thursday, which is rather weird, but he has already had the lessons, so we have to quickly plan an interview and get everything organized and ready. So we automatically have a baptism for next transfer, without doing any work. We haven't even met him yet!
That's all the news I have for now, everyone have a good week.
Love, Timothy
