Yes, I hit my year mark on Thursday, which is kinda ridiculous. Yeah, the time does fly. I remember the beginning of Eric's mission. That was really slow. An Elder in my last district described the mission like a train, that slowly get faster as time goes. That's how it is with each transfer, each one just goes faster and faster. Which is true, because I'm at the halfway point at this transfer. What the heck!?!?
Well, I might as well get the bad news out before the
good. As of July 30, Montenegro will no longer be a part of our
mission. It will be a part of the Adriatic North Mission. It makes
sense, the Adriatic North is all countries that speak Serbian or an
extremely close dialect, plus Montenegro has like no Albanian speakers,
so it's just not needed in our mission. The two missionaries up there
are really excited from what I've heard. That also means the Westwoods,
the senior couple up there that Grandma Carlene and Grandpa Jerry know,
will also be with the North Mission now, so I probably won't meet them.
The baptism went very well. I had to perform the
ordinance twice because she kicked her leg out at the last second the
first time, but it all went well. And Elder Matson confirmed her
yesterday, so it all went well.
Yeah, I remember telling myself last year that I
have time on the mission thinking of what I want to do. Well, I'm over
halfway done and haven't really thought about it too much. Although, I
have decided to take up the violin again when I get home. I have
finally understood why I hated it so much. Having weekly lessons just
made it feel like homework. Teaching myself has always been more fun.
But, mom, I'm sorry for all the grief I put you through for like 18
years with the violin, but I do plan on continuing with it. I know
saying sorry isn't enough, but I'll think of something else in a year
when I get back. (No worries...)
Jake, they're gonna do a 50 miler next year I bet! (High Adventure)
Andrea, have fun in Utah.
Nice, youth conference, Pacit shume qejf! (very accomadating...I have no idea...)
Dad!
1) Nope, not in my mission......
2)
Yeah, I'm so excited for it! Last transfer I wanted to get these
slacks that are awesome, but President said no when he saw another
missionary wearing them, but hopefully now I can! We have to wait from
President Ford to get the 'ok' to actually start living this new
standard, but I think it will. Yeah, I was surprised about the jackets,
too! I like suits, we look CIA in suits. But, I'm down with sweaters as well.
3) Um, I'm not sure if I have run there. The place
I run is at 'liqeni atificiale,' or the artificial lake. The place you
wrote down is called, ' the hills of the lake.\ I don't know, could be
the same place, but probably not the same.
So, yeah, that's my week. I'm doing 3 exchanges
this week, so it'll be a fun week. Nothing really special going on, we
need to be doing a bit more finding so we can get more progressing
investigators, and also we're gonna start less-active hunting so we can
help build the branch up for the stake.
Anyway, have fun this week. Be safe!
Ju dua!
Elder Palmer
