HELLO!!!!
So my new companion likes to play tennis...yep...
This transfer is going to be interesting. We elevatored the area pretty hard on this last transfer. (means that we baptize everyone in our teaching pool and have to start from the ground up instead of an escalator that just keeps going.) We have set three baptismal dates in this past week so everything is going well. We're trying our best to get everything in the zone back in order. Elder Sinclair and Elder Littlefield in the area right next to ours is my only sanity right now. So I am supposed to be "training" my new comp on how to be a Zone Leader but it's not really working....it's whatever.
So we found this guy the other day, his name is Mike Penny. He is going to get baptized on the 23rd of July. I am so excited for this guy. He told us that he was prepared and that he knew that the Lord had sent us to him....yeah...legit. Other than that there really isn't much to report on. The families in the ward here are awesome. Definately people that we will have to come back to visit some day. The ward mission leader here is like my third grandpa. So tight.
The farting doggie story is hilarious. It kinda reminded me of a door contact the other day. I love it when people try to slam the door and then their dog is in the way. So they have already said some really rude comment and they thought that they would have the slammed door effect behind their rude comment but then their dog is in the way and they don't want to hurt their precious dog so they are trying to come up with some other rude thing to say whilst trying to get their dog out of the way so they can slam the door. It has happened so many times now that I can't help but laugh while I walk away.
You should really tell Shannon that she needs to stay out of trouble. That school is not good. Anyways. Just tell her to get her testimony back and marry some hot shot return missionary so that she can have a good life. I know that is what you want for her anyway. Just tell her that I approve of your message.
So the little Ver Hoef girl (my girlfriend as she calls herself) just comes up to me at church and will hold my hand. It is probably one of the most funny things that I have ever seen. She'll be sitting in the front row of the chapel and see me walk in and come and sit next to me. Anytime that she sees me in the hallway she has to come up and hold my pinky (pinkie? sp?). The Stake President saw it happen the other day and was like...uh...Elder McNinch...do we need to talk? Ha ha ha. Oh man. That family is hilarious.
So yesterday was father's day. So...I would like to wish Father a belated happy father's day and add that I think that it is dumb that you can only call home on Mother's Day. Thank you dad for being such a good example to me. A lot of what I am doing as a Zone Leader are things that you have taught me how to do and for that I am really greatful. So this past Sunday we had three investigators at church and I got a Snicker's bar. That pretty much sums up the greatest day of church on my mission. One of the young women who were handing out the Snicker's for all the dad's came up and said..."You want a family some day right?" To which I replied...yes?...She said...okay good...happy future father's day. I was glad that it was just that and that it wasn't more awkward. Frankly when she asked the question I was like....please please do not say anything weird. I really don't want to have to avoid you and your family in the hallway.
Well that is pretty much what is going on here in Texas. It is super hot. I really don't even care about how much I sweat anymore. I will have to send you some pictures of my socks. When we get back from tracting everyday I have salt rings all around my legs. Nasty. I am sure people at the doors are just like...what in the world are you doing on my porch?! They probably have more choice words than that but...yeah. I hope all is going well at home. I love y'all very much and I miss you even more.
Love,
Elder McNinch
