NEW JOB FOR ELDER LANGFORD
Monday, February 4, 2013
Hey everyone,
Okay....
so I forgot my other planner, my old planner, that had all the stuff I
wanted to write down to you... hmmm.... well... there's some new news I guess
this week. First off, ah man I really can't remember too much... It's
been a really good week! We've been able to talk to a lot of people and a
lot of members, and have developed a lot more friendships! An
investigator, after some further discussion of some points, is ready
for baptism! She should be getting baptized in the next two to three
weeks here! She's been a great miracle! At first she said she really
wasn't too interested, but she actually came to church to check it out,
and absolutely loved it! We've been teaching her for a while now, and
she's so ready to be baptized! We're extremely happy for her!
So
another little tid bit, Elder Moses and I were making some phone calls,
and had a little talk, and decided that probably the hardest job in the
mission field, would be to be a district leader, and a trainer to a new
missionary at the same time. My first companion was the district leader,
and my district leader now was doing the same thing. Sounds like a
crazy idea right? So last Thursday around 9:40, I got a little call from
the President, telling me that HE WANTED ME TO TRAIN AGAIN AND BE THE
DISTRICT LEADER OF THE AREA!!!!! I told him he had the wrong number.
Haha not really, but I said something out of pure shock that I don't
even remember... so yeah as of tomorrow, I'm going up to Raleigh to
probably get a possible (probable) 18 year old missionary, and then
conducting a district meeting on Wednesday! Ooooh man... now it's a
party! So we'll see how that goes... It's definitely a push of
responsibility. Hope fully the area doesn't burn down to the ground :D
we'll see what happens! Anyway it's been quite a shock, and will soon
turn into a reality! Haha a prayer or two this way is always acceptable
:) I'm grateful that the Lord trusts me enough to become a minister to
these great missionaries in this area ( half of them got transferred so
I'm just banking on the other half being good as well... -_-). Becoming
district leader while training's a pretty big mantle, but I know that
the way (and the only way ) that this is going to work is through faith
in the Savior. I know I'm going to grow (some white hairs) faster than I
ever have, and that somehow this will make time go by even faster than
it did before. I'm grateful for the chance to serve as the district
leader for the Harker's island, Havelock, and Morehead city. It'll be
neat to get to go to the island now for exchanges! So that's probably
the big thing, oh and we got golden corral again. Goood stuff ;) I love
you alll sooooo much!!!!!! Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
we go!!!!!!! I gotta get up to leave at four thirty tomorrow for
Raleigh... I may just sleep in my church clothes... haha Love you
again!!!! Take care! Stay active (this church ROCKS)!!!
