Good bye to Elder S and Elder A, Hello to Elder M and P, New Companion and Zone leader

This week was one of change but it was good.

March 21, 2017: I said goodbye to Elder S as he headed up to Laramie, then Elder M( his 2nd Spanish speaking Arizona companion)(I know their are 4 of them if not more from Arizona) and we did not do a lot because of it being Transfer day. We helped with mutual which had barely anyone in attendance but that was not a huge issue as it still was a really good mutual event.
Spiritual: Changes while may seem hard are often really good for us as a whole.

March 22, 2017: I gave my first a District meeting as District leader which seemed to have turned out rather well. After that we went tracting and got kicked out of a trailer park because we were "soliciting" which was whatever we did get a new potential which was great. Then we tried old potentials to no success but whatever I suppose right.
Spiritual: Don't get discouraged and you will see some success.

March 23, 2017: We went tracting which was somewhat successful which was nice. Then we went potentials contacting which was not successful sadly. Then we tried less actives but none of them were available.
Spiritual: As you work hard god will bless you.

March 24, 2017: We had GRC which was good before planning and studies which were good. Then we found out our car's key is broken so we have to manually unlock the car which sets off the alarm so we got a new key which is also broken so it has been annoying. Not much else happened.
Spiritual: Sometimes things you do not care to do have to take prescience over things

March 25, 2017: We went tracting to limited success which was alright. Then we tried potentials and less actives which was good though not successful.
Spiritual: Work is always good even when you do not right away see the fruits of your work.

March 26, 2017: We had Branch council which was good. Then church was great as well. After Church we had Correlation meeting which was awesome like normal. Then we tried potentials and less actives also to limited success. Then I did area calls for the first time which was good.
Spiritual: While things may seem unsuccessful always have faith and you will eventually receive.

God be with you till we meet again

Joshua and his new companion Elder M
His companions mom sent this to me, I was surprised that Joshua was not wearing his sunglasses since he normally always has them on. We are so fortunate so far to have been able to connect with all of his companions families and share pictures with them. Also the mission and one of the former Senior sisters of the Fort Collins Mission do a great job of posting pictures.
