Transfers are next monday. I have I feeling I`m going to be staying, but you never know. I figure I`ll only have one more area before I finish my mission. I kind of want to get sent to some little branch out in the middle of no where, just to see what it`s like.
I`m excited for General Conference. It will be that last time I see it as a missionary.
Elder Scoville and I are still having a hard time working with unity. I`m just not sure how to motivate him. We put some good goals during our weekly planning session, but we haven`t been achieving them. I hate to see him leave without feeling like I really helped him in any way.
I still feel like I`m not reaching my potential. Elder Hurtado was giving me some advice and sharing with me some of his successes the other day and I just couldn`t believe. He said that that week he and his new trainee had taught 18 lessons with member and that there was one week in which they taught 21. In one transfer they`ve already baptized 6 people. He said that the work has been pretty easy now that he understands how to do it. I know I shouldn`t compare myself with other missionaries, but I just wish I could be as happy and successful as that guy sometimes. I feel like I should be able to achieve the same things seeing as we`re all children of God, but I can`t. Why? It`s funny, because Elder Hurtado is always the one that brags about me so much in front of everyone, saying I`m a wonderful missionary and everything. The other day he even told the President to not fear making me the asistant. I was like hey, hey, I don`t want to be the asistant. It`s hard enough to be district leader.
Hope all is well, love,
Brett
