Hey y'all!
One thing with a mission and even in life ya never know what is going
to happen that is for sure. This week was transfers and of course when
ya least expect it something happens. I am getting moved again to the
Glendora 2nd ward. Kinda similar to the Glendale 2nd ward just on
opposite sides of the mission. My new companion is elder Kappen. Elder
Kappen is a great guy, he has been out for a little over a year. The
ward is a great ward I'm excited to meet em on Sunday and I will tell
ya if a agree with him haha. He is from American fork. He is 20 years
old went to one year of college before he came out here and he chose
BYU. I also got called as zone leader so that will add some spices to
this toss up haha. I'm really excited though to be able to have this
opportunity. I am extremely nervous and don't feel like I'm made for
the job but as we all know The Lord he qualifies the called. It's
gonna be a great opportunity so serve even more and learn even more
also. That's ones great part about life is we never stop progressing
or learning of we did we would be either dead or perfect. I'm bummed
to leave Duarte cause my stay was short and we had a lot of great work
there but I'm excited to be here in Glendora. The pad I live in is
lots bigger than my old pad it's only us that live in it but could
easily fit 4. The area is struggling quite a bit so that makes it
hard, they had people drop them so I'm excited to find some more
people. The zone is doing fairly decent right now! We had one
companionship baptize 3 people on Sunday so that was good! Thanks so
much for everything! If any of ya are still wondering I'm still a
redneck, I used a Mormon.org pass along card and rubber band as a band
aid! Proves I've learned a lot from my dad. Hope you all have a great
week and especially a great Memorial Day! One thing I love about
Memorial Day is being able to tell people that they will see there
loved ones again! I know that it's true the plan of salvation is such
a comforting thing to know about. We had a older gentleman walk up to
us at the street fair and ask. "Do you really believe I will be able
to see my family again?" Being able to testify and teach him a short
part of the plan of salvation was amazing. He was not a member of any
faith and his wife was a member of Calvary chapel so she wasn't our
biggest fans but he told us if he could join he would join. Miracles
happen every day like that one! God bless you all!
Love,
Elder Connor llewelyn
