This has had to be an off week as far as my email goes, for which I apologize. But here are a few quick things:
- It was a rough week overall. Elder Creasy sadly got very sick for multiple days, so let's just say I did a lot of studying. Through the marvelous powers of zinc and vitamin C, I escaped with only a mild sore throat (thanks mom! I came well equipped!).
- We got to do some service setting up before and taking down after a sewing event for Days for Girls.
- I went on an exchange with my district leader and while out knocking doors we met a kind woman named Lisa whose husband John has met with missionaries in the past. She gave us their contact info and invited us to return to meet him.
- On new years eve, we met up with the district during dinner hour and borrowed a member's copy of Settlers of Catan. My Hammond blood runs true--I won! A brick monopoly and securing largest army served me well.
- We had a crazy nonmember dinner that I can't even begin to describe.
- Today is transfer day! I'm staying in Rancho Peñasquitos and Elder Creasy is moving to El Cajon. My new companion is Elder Meilstrup, and he's fantastic. We've got a lot in common and he's very ambitious about this area, so I'm excited.
Remember that everything we do in our religion comes back to building a relationship with God. Look through this lens, and confusing things instead have profound insight.
God be with you,
Elder Tolman
