1st Week In Bostonia

From Tuesday, June 2, 2015 ....

So I got transferred this past week to Bostonia and my new companion is Elder Wendel. It's in the Santee Stake in El Cajon. It's a walking area but it's all good. This area has a lot of potential and I'm pretty pumped. I'm still a District Leader and I have another companionship in my district. They both go home by August and sometimes it's kinda frustrating trying to get them motivated.

On Wednesday the first person we went and saw was a referal named Jasmine. We ended up havng a really good lesson with her and hopefully next time we go over we can add her whole family!

On Thursday we had some senior missionaries take us out to lunch which was pretty nice. the senior couple came to one of my district meetings in Sweetwater so it was nice to see them again. We also had a really good lesson with this part member couple. John who is a member walked up to us and asked if we knew where the closest church was because he wanted to start coming again. The funny thing is he lives right aound the corner from it! We were able to have a really good lesson with his wife who isn't a member and she was asking a lot of good questions.

On Friday we added a part member couple named the Bibbes! They just moved here from Mississippi. She is totally active and her nonmember husband has come every Sunday for the past 6 months! They came to church on Sunday and loved it!

Sunday was alright. The ward wasn't too welcoming but its all good. We had quite a few people come to church which was good! After Church we had a good lesson with a recent convert named Nevada. She is 17 and has been struggling recently with her testimony so we were able to help her out with that which was pretty cool!

Something pretty cool about being in Santee is that Elder Fraughton is another District Leader in the Zone so we get to see each other quite a bit! Elder Fraughton is actually training for his last two transfers which is pretty cool.

This transfer is going to be pretty crazy! Elder Nielsen, Kiser and Wendel all go home in July and Elder Fraughton is home in August which is pretty crazy!

Things are going great here in San Diego. In the past few months I have lost 26 lbs and since I'm in a walking area I'll probably be losing some more! Haha!

Love you and hope you are all doing well!

Love

Elder LaRochelle
