So
this week I got...a new missionary! That's right, another one. Funny enough, my
trainer Elder Chardon is training another new missionary too, and my firstborn
Elder Thurgood just got transferred to the same district as Elder Chardon and
the Elder he is now training. Furthermore, my new companion is Albanian. That's
right, another one. I never would have guessed, when I came on my mission, that
I would have a companion from Albania, and I certainly never would have guessed
I would have two. Elder Lapi was the first to come in, and Elder Myrtaj (my new
companion) is the fourth to come in to the mission. So I just need to serve
with the other two and I will have served with all the Albanians in
the mission!

Myrtaj is so excited to be here, which is awesome. When I asked him how long he
had to wait after he got his mission call, he told me in days. Also, he just
turned 18 last June, while I was already on my mission. That's pretty crazy.
Also it means that he is closer to Connor in age than he is to me...
Julie
is doing well, she will be baptised sometime in the next few weeks. She has
been to church for 6 weeks in a row now, which is totally awesome.
When
I went to the mission home to pick up Elder Myrtaj, I ran into Elder Debeikes,
the Elder who replaced me in Llanelli, who was also picking up a new missionary
to train. So I was able to hear about how the Watkins family is doing! Alex is
still as awesome as ever, I actually got a letter from him too. He still passes
the sacrament every week and still hasn't missed a week of church since before
his baptism. His mum (and my adopted welsh mammy) Fran was finally able to have
a much needed surgery this week and so her health should improve dramatically,
enabling her to attend church each week.
I
hope all is well at home, and keep on going in the work of the Lord.
Love,
Elder
