Transfers (Two) - 3 June 2019

Michael was transferred twice this week. There was another elder in his mission that went home early. Michael was in a trio companionship so he was transferred over to be the remaining elder's companion. Michael received a call from President Clark (his mission president) on Saturday, June 1st at 6:30 AM. He was on his way to play basketball with his companions as part of their morning exercise routine when he received the call. President Clark asked him to meet him at his office in one hour and to bring all of his belongings. The trio skipped basketball and headed back to their apartment so that Michael could pack. He met President Clark and reassigned him to a new companionship. Later in the week, Michael was transferred again into a completely new area and with a different companion. Wow, two transfers in one week! Michael is amazing, he took it all in stride and new that is what the Lord wanted and was ready to serve wherever needed. He has been assigned as a zone leader (zone leaders supervise, encourage and instruct all of the missionaries in his area). This is great leadership experience for him, he never ceases to amazing me!

Here is Michael with Sister and President Clark and with Elder (?) as part of his emergency transfer.

Here is Michael with his new companion Elder Pixton. They are zone leaders in the Rancho Santa Margarita zone. He is inland now at the base of the mountains so it is much hotter there than by the ocean. He told me that it was in the mid-90's his first week.

Weekly Email - 3 June 2019

Hi everyone,

I hope your week was good. Mine was too. We found a bunch of new people that are golden and we have been getting fellowshipers for them too. The wards are really being the missionaries now it's been cool. We taught a really cool lesson to a mother we met who said that she is really excited to be meeting and wants to join the gospel! We have really been following the spirit really well lately it has led us to where we need to be and who we need to meet. There were 3 experiences like that this week it was really cool. Oh ya and by the way I am in a new area with new companion because I got emergency transferred in when he needed a companion.

 

Love Elder West
