Sounds like you had a busy week this week. Not only that but
a fun crafty one with visitors to boot. Sounds like I missed some fun stuff.
What is it a month or two Dallin turns one years old? How crazy! We are old.
Its funny that all the members that are in their 30's think that I am so young
and little. Funny how someone is always older than you and has a little more
experience than you. Last week was really slow. Elder Bradley has been under
the weather a lot, so we have been spending a lot of time at the apartment so
that he can get some rest. So I have not seen very many of our investigators
especially with Memorial Day coming up. People don't want to talk to you when
they are on holiday.
Anyway so this week I will most likely be transferred to a
new area on Thursday. I will know tomorrow when they make the calls to tell
people that they are leaving. Elder Bradley got a call and he will be training
a new missionary for the next couple of transfers so about 3 and a half months.
On the 3 of June we will get Ipads. We learned last week that we will become
one of the new testing missions. Sounds to me like they got a lot of it figured
out, but there are always bugs in things.
It was cool to learn that they are trying to make technology
make things easier on the missionary. They have plans to make it so that the
instant you get your call letter you are being trained and prepared to enter
the MTC and the mission field. The Apostles are making a big focus right now on
how to train members on how to use technology in a way to stay safe from the
harmful things on the internet, and to be missionaries. It was cool to learn
that they know that some will have trouble with this new tool, but that they said
that they benefits out way the risk. That we need to become our own filters and
make up our minds and know what we will do when we face had things online.
That was the highlight for me to have that training and to
have that discussion that we need to focus more on our purpose as missionaries.
To not be distracted by what my President called a shiny new toy. I hope that
you all continue to be safe and have fun. That you also stay focused on what is
important and that you know what you want in your life. I know that this
mission is doing just that for me. I love you all and pray about you all the
time.
Love Elder Young
