Hey! So I only have 5 minutes but this week was really awesome and
I have some news about transfers! So after 20 weeks with elder Kemp,
we are being separated right before Christmas. :'(
He is staying in Santa Ana 11 and I'm going to Santa Ana 10. Another
Santa Ana ward? Yes!! :D I have only heard amazing things about this
ward and I'm super excited to serve there. I will continue to be
district leader and I will be greeny breaking(first companion after
training) with Elder Gardner!
He is from St. George and did cross country and track before he
mission. I'm really excited to be serving with him. We also had a
wedding this week for the other elders investigator and less active
member and then she got baptized on Sunday. I got to interview her
before and she is one of the most ready people I have interviewed
before. She has really been changed by the restored gospel and can't
wait to see them blessings for her young children.
We had a Christmas party with half of the missionaries in the
mission and usually we would watch a movie but president Taggart
decided this year we would sing hymns instead. To be honest I was a
little disappointed at first but after we started I was super glad we
had that chance to sing together and feel the spirit which we most
likely wouldn't have had anything close to as good with a movie.
Then on Sunday we had three investigators and church and it was a
great opportunity to see their progress and desire to learn. I was
also asked to share my testimony and it was a great experience to do
so one last time in that ward. I really love that whole ward and am
going to miss them so much. But I know The Lord needs me in other
places. That night we got some other investigators to a stake
Christmas play about the Book of Mormon testifying of Jesus Christ and
His birth and far exceeded expectations. It was awesome and we met
this lady who looked lost with her family. She said she worked with
one of the actors that gave her a Book of Mormon the other day and she
has been reading it and loves it. Long story short missionaries in
Costa Mesa will be visiting her soon. :)
I will see you on skype next week, I love you all!
Elder Hyde
