Dear Parents,
I’ve
been transferred. I am in the Loess Hills YSA Ward in Council
Bluffs. The work is pretty slow right now but our mission president really
wants to get it back on track. One of the AP's served here and President
is going to send him over every once in a while so we can use his
expertise. My new companion is Elder McKee. He has been out a few
transfers less than me. He's from Utah.
I was very warmly welcomed
and the Bishopric seems really solid. One of the big problems is that
most of our people are very spread out and we don't have enough miles to visit
everyone that we want to. Fortunately the members are willing to give us
rides a lot of the time. It's nice to be back in the city again where
there are more people to work with and to be further south.
We only
had one solid investigator to start with but yesterday one of the less actives
who hadn't been to church in a while came by and brought his girlfriend who was
a nonmember. He bore testimony about how he regained his testimony and
how he and his girlfriend wanted to get back to church. We should be able
to meet with them this week and start teaching them.
It
looks like we will be focusing on less active work for the next little
bit. We have been asked to not just visit the members in our ward but
also all of the YSA's in the stake. We are going to be working with the
leadership in every unit in the stake. We have a lot that we need to do
but in order to be effective we need the members. We are going to need to
start changing the attitude of the ward so that we can get the help we
need. Things might be a little slow for a while but should pick up. Historically this area is really productive.
Sorry
for the short email. Love you,
Elder
Stapley
