Oh man this has been one loooong week! Probably because I have been excited to e mail you and P day is on Tuesday so it seemed like forever. The thing I was holding was a picture of Jesus? How did you not know what that was? haha (I knew that one! I meant what was the other thing!) The other thing I was holding was a nintendo controller. I will keep Elder Smith in my prayers. That is so cool he has members like you he can go to. I am glad you guys take such good care of them, I know how much those little things help. Why doesn't Ryan use my Nitro board? That one is nice. Don't you dare let him use my good one haha. I had a dream about snowboarding last night. haha I think my legs know what time of year it is and are wondering why I'm not on a board! haha I am so proud you got moved to 4.0!!! Good job!!! I am allowed to skype for Christmas :) The problem is finding a member that has a computer and internet to let us come over... Hopefully we will find someone.
Soooo for my big news I am staying in Alliance and was called as a trainer! So I will be here allllll winter. President called me Tuesday night and asked me to train and told me I had to be in Cleveland the next day for trainers meeting. I was kinda bummed it was on Wednesday because we were having a non member funeral in our building and would have been an awesome oppurtunity to find people, but I didnt get to go haha. So on Wednesday we got up at 5 and drove to Canton where I picked up another trainer and Elder Warner went with his companion. Then I drove up to Tallmadge. I didnt know we were meeting there so when I found out that morning I was way excited because I never thought I would get to see my old area again. So I got to go back to my apartment and see Elder Johnson and hear about everything going on in Tallmadge. It was awesome! I was so happy to see him. So we met 2 more trainers there and I got to drive the truck up to Cleveland. Wednesday was the first day it really snowed so I felt right at home driving the truck in the snow haha. I was expecting there would be a few others from my group that I came out with training, but im the only one. The meeting was at the mission home and was way good. I am way nervous but very excited to train. I cant believe it though, I still feel like a brand new missionary and its gonna be crazy getting to serve with a kid that doesnt know anything like I didnt know anything just a few months ago! Its good though because its fresh in my mind how he will be feeling this week so hopefully I can help him. I have been trying like crazy to set up good appointments his first few days here like Elder Johnson did for me so he can start teaching right away. I am excited to meet him tomorrow. Elder Warner is getting transfered somewhere else for his last 2 weeks. He got his travel plans this week so he is getting pretty trunky, but its all good were still working.
Well thats really the only thing exciting that has happened this week. haha We're just teaching a lot and doin missionary work! Elder Johnson said Brian wasn't happy that I left and didn't like the whole transfer idea but they have only gotten to see him like twice this transfer. But elder Johnson said he was starting to question his beliefs a little so I dont know. Sister ___went to the temple a couple weeks ago which made me way happy and Ray and Areo and Kim are doing good. They both have baptism dates for January.
Well thats really all that happened this week... I am sure I will have more next week since so much is changing. I am excited but keep praying for me to be a good trainer cuz I need it! haha
I love and miss you!!
Elder Skalla
