Well Ponca City is fantastic! We have a ward, a ward mission
leader, activities, members willing to go out with us. It just about
made me cry! I was lost these past couple of days for two reasons, first
I'm still the designated driver (since I'm still District Leader and
have been out longer than Elder Faulkner) so I don't know my way around
this city and second because I don't really know how to work with a
functioning area, I've never been in one. We have coordination tonight
with our mission leader, I'm a little nervous. I'VE NEVER HAD ONE
BEFORE!!!!! Sad right? 7 1/2 months and have never had a coordination
meeting. It's exciting! My district is pretty great! We are full of
bold, loving, and genuine missionaries! I'm finally getting used to this
district leader thing. I'm starting to like giving trainings and
exchanges. It might help the other elders grow, but it helps me out
more, I think. That may be selfish, but it's true. Man how about
conference?!!!! Holy Cow!! I almost jumped out of my seat when Elder
Ballard challenged all members to bring just one friend/person to the
missionaries! I was looking around frantically to see if I wasn't the
only person to hear that. Then Pres. Monson's talk darn near made me cry
like a baby! I love that man! This conference was fantastic! Conference
is like Christmas out here! Holy Moly! I love this work! I love
conference! I love my family! I love being bold with people! I love
feeling the Spirit prompt me to do ridiculous things and see the
blessings come from it! I love reading the Book of Mormon! I love riding
bikes in a flat area! ;) I love when members feed and go out with us to
teach. I love receiving referrals from members! I LOVE LIFE!
Not a second Wasted! EVER!!!
