Email from Elder Lofthouse 6/28/16 Transfers

This week was a lot of fun. My new companion is Elder Kamea. He's from Tonga, and he's straight awesome!  We also were able to go to the temple today!  It was awesome, as usual.
   

Elders Campbell, Powell, Kamea, and me

Tuesday Elder Roundy and I had a lesson with John. It was awesome. He's such a cool guy. He really just wants to know truth, but he also wants hard facts. It's a struggle some times. But he's still a cool guy. We went and saw the Guzman's.  We had a good visit and then we visited the Saunders. It was just a really good evening. It was Elder Roundy's last evening.

Wednesday was tiring. We drove to the Temple in the morning, well to the Riverbend stake centre, but it's the same address. So we found out Elder Roundy is going up to High Prairie for his last transfer!  Pretty cool, eh?  And then I got to chill with Elders Pollard, Shipley, and Strong while waiting for our companions to get out of a meeting. It was a lot of fun. After the meeting, Elder Kamea and I drove back and unpacked, and went street contacting. We had supper at the leafs, which is always fun. We had pulled pork sandwiches:)  after supper we stopped by a few people and set up some lessons. It was an awesome day!
   
Thursday was a lot of fun. Elder Kamea and I get along great. We had a good lunch with Vivian. That night we had a cool lesson with brother Kohn.  It's going to be a super fun transfer with Elder Kamea.

Friday Elder Kamea got sick. It was kinda sad. I spent most of the day reading the scriptures, and watching church movies.  It was all good though.

Saturday was fun. We tried to talk to as many people as we could, but no one was really interested. It was still a good day. I found out a lot about Elder Kamea. The week he got his mission call, he also got an invitation to play rugby for the Tongan national team. He's super cool, and he's a convert of 3 years. He's awesome.

Sunday was great.  We had Ward Council in the morning, and then church in the afternoon. After church we went and had supper. The Monteleone's are a great family. After that we went and visited a lot of people. We introduced Elder Kamea to a few members, and it was a good day.

Monday we went to the foodbank. After the foodbank we went and helped the Nottingham Elders pack up their apartment.  They're moving into our place for a week, and then moving into the their new apartment next Saturday. We went and helped out George Wilson as well. It was an awesome day. We had a good visit with Vivian in the evening.

This week has been fun. Change is sometimes hard, but it's always for our good. God wants us to grow, and the only way we can do that is by dealing with changes and new challenges. So keep the faith through the ups and downs, and all the changes. It's awesome!

Have a great week!
