Hello family and friends!
So a ton of stuff happened this past week. On tuesday we went to transfer meeting and I got my new son, his name is Elder Jensen! I have 2 sons named Elder Jensen haha. Oh for those who dont know, the missionaries that we train we call them our sons and we are their fathers haha. Elder Jensen is from bountiful Utah and he is taller than my last companion... he's 6' 6! He makes me feel short. It's been pretty different having a new companion and training again. He's a pretty good guy. A lot different from the last Elder Jensen so I will have to get used to that. He's a lot more proactive and he's pretty good at teaching lessons. He's also a dang good baller. We played this morning at 730 at the park and it was super fun and it wasn't hot yet.
So like I said last week we found Leiloni. Her baby is doing good and she and her daughter Anara are planning on getting baptized on the 12th! We had an awesome lesson with her on saturday night and she was planning on coming to church but when her ride went there to pick her up she didn't hear them knock on her door and they didn't even try calling her or anything so she didn't come to church:( But she will be coming this next sunday!
Oh so I am now the District Leader for the New Albany district. Gosh it makes me even more busy haha. As a D-Leader I give trainings on wednesdays during district meeting to 5 other companion ships. And I basically just keep track of the progress of their areas and I hold them accountable to their work that they do. I'm on the phone a lot in the evenings after we do our planning for the next day. But even though it makes me more busy I love being able to serve more. Being tired at the end of the day is just the best feeling.
Oh so yesterday after church we went to the Stake Presidents house to have dinner. They live up in the hills way out in the country. It was a super great dinner, like always, and on our way home in the car we were coming over this sweet hill that we like to hit in the car, and as we were coming to the bottom we see this little skunk right in our lane and I didn't have any time to slow down or move at all so I just creamed that thing... And it STUNK after. The car must have gotten sprayed a little bit right before it got hit. We had the windows down and the air just blasting to get the smell out haha. I feel so bad for hitting that thing but I couldn't avoid it haha
Well thats basically it for this last week. Our new focus for this next 6 weeks is to find a family and to set baptism dates with them, so we have been praying a lot to find a family!
I hope you all know that I really appreciate all of the support that you give me! Thank you for being members of the true church and being active! Elder Jensen's whole family is inactive and he is the only one thats active. So I am so greatful that I have a family that is active.
Love you all!
Elder Eastin
