Well some interesting things
happened in regards to the transfer calls that came over the weekend. First
off, I got shafted out of the Mojave River Ward in Hesperia after only being
there for 1 transfer! Second, President Taylor called us Friday night and told
me that I will be a Zone Leader, and then on Sunday night we received word that
I'd be going to Upland! I had a great experience serving in the Mojave River
Ward with Elder Olson for 6 weeks. I loved serving in the hight desert, the
wards were great, the people were great, and it was like a home away from for
me. But alas, the Lord has moved me from the winter wonderland of dry skin and
heavy winds, to the lusciously green Inland Empire with big homes and plenty of
smog to go around. But who cares, I love all parts of our mission, and I'll go
where the Lord puts me. So here I am now, emailing you all from Upland,
California!
As is typical of a missionary
leaving an area, we went to members' homes and took pictures with them and had
a few final goodbyes. On Friday night we had a
great lesson with our two investigators; we brought the YMP with us and we
taught them some commandments. The Spirit was there, and it was a good lesson.
Well my new companion is
Elder Hirst from Minnesota. He's been out slightly longer than I have, he's
chill. I'm short on time so I gotta go, but just know that I know that God
loves each of you, and His Gospel can bless your life as you learn of it and
live it!
Elder Ruiz
