We transferred this week. It feels like Elder Hughes has been here a month but it's only been like 4 days or something. He's awesome by the way. Some fun facts about him: He likes playing the paino and is good at it! His favorite is jazz piano. He's really chill and a genius. There hasn't been a problem with computers or anything that he hasn't been able to figure out yet.
We had
dinner at the bishop's house with Leo on Saturday. He had a really good
time and said it was good to hear some different perspectives on the
gospel and how to deal with opposition, especially from our bishop who
was baptized about two years ago. None of Leo's friends or family really
believe in God and are having a hard time understanding his choice to
be baptized. He is learning and progressing really well otherwise and it
was awesome to hear the visiting stake high council member not believe
us when we told him Leo wasn't a member yet. He is super awesome and
it's really an honor to be able to teach him.
I
love my mission. I love the gospel. I have seen so many good things in
my life come through patiently enduring trials and quietly obeying God's
commandments. I have gained a deep and abiding testimony of what Joseph
Smith was told by God while suffering Liberty jail:
"And
if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers,
and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the
deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds
become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the
elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of
hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that
all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
Therefore, hold on thy way....."
Have a great week!

Here's some pictures of our six-man here in the office which has now split up. Heros get remembered, but legends never die.
