New Companion

12-16-13

Well, I got a companion.  His name is Elder Barnett and he is from Farmington, Utah.  His birthday was this Saturday and he just turned 19.  He is such a dedicated missionary and follows the rules down to a T.  He got out here the transfer after me, so I am the senior companion and I take the lead in everything.  As of right now, we don't have any solid investigators, so we are just trying to figure out new ways that we can find people to teach.  We are working with a few people right now, the Parkers, but they won't really commit to anything.  We gave them the Savior's peace and blessing, and they loved it, and for some reason, it inspired them to go back to the Methodist church.  So, we have been going over there and teaching the lessons whenever we can.  They said that they won't join the church, but whenever we talk to them, everything they need at this time is found in the Gospel and Church.  We just need to make them see it, also.  So you could pray for them to understand that this is what they need.  This last week, we had some other elders move in with us into our tiny apartment.  It has been crammed, but fun.  One of them has a guitar and it's fun to play a little bit again.  I was thinking of buying one out here, but our president said no, so that stunk.  I wish I could, then I would be pro by the time I got home-haha.  Maybe I can ask for permission and he will let me get a cheap one, because that is what this Elder did.  I sent home a bunch of stuff with Sis. Brooks, so hopefully, she can get all of it to you.  There are a bunch of books and some souveniers that I've collected out here, so could you just put it in my closet, or you can use or read some of it.  Just keep track of it so it's not lost or misplaced.  Thanks.  I can't wait to see you for Christmas!

Love,
Elder A. Whaley
