Hi Family,
It was transfers this week. I went to Pittsburgh to pick up my new
companion, actually my trainee. His name is Elder Lozano. He is from New Jersey and he never went to the
MTC but he speaks English perfectly and he speaks Spanish
perfectly. He is awesome! Pittsburgh was a long
drive. I drove to Pittsburgh on Monday and got
there around 10 pm. We stayed in the AP’s apartment and
the next day we had our training meeting on how to be a
trainer. I have been through it three times now but it was still a good
meeting and afterward we had lunch.
I was able to talk to President Topham for a while he gave me
some great advice and counsel. I was
glad that I had a chance to talk to him and I feel like we have a closer
bond now. He is an inspired man and I respect him greatly as my mission president.
Today I had district meeting for the first time which went pretty well.
I didn't have much time to prepare but it went well. I feel bad
that I was called as District Leader and the previous DL was released from that
position. He is still in the district which normally doesn't happen.
Usually Pres. Topham moves the district leader out of the area
but not this time, he left him in and just released him. That
is why I felt bad. All
these changes are pretty overwhelming. Pray for me!
Wow! That is shocking news that I never expected
about Aunt Bonnie! I can’t believe she has a tumor in her head. That is really sad, but I am really glad that
it is not cancerous. I will keep her in my prayers for sure.
Sorry this email is short and boring but I have no time to
write. I am standing up in the library
right now emailing you which is really uncomfortable, haha. I’m sorry I couldn’t e-mail on Monday either. The library was closed because of Labor Day.
I love you all,
Elder Mouritsen
