Change is Constant - 6/27/11

Hello everyone,


So, last week was transfers and Elder Argyle went home. He is the 4th missionary I have seen go home in our apartment. That made me feel really old mission-wise. The apartment now has two new additons. Elder Peters and Elder Andersen(my companion). He's been out for about 17 months and he is awesome. He is from Modesto, Califonia. That is just south of Sacramento in the central valley, just east of the bay area. He and Elder Peters actually both served in Mingo Valley after I was there and so we have a lot of cool conversations about the people we would visit and the members that lived there. Elder Peters is from Orem, Utah and he's a stud too. He and Elder Bell are tearing it up in there area right now and our entire zone is doing really great. I am so excited for the effort that is being put out by the missionaries in and around the Springfield area.

Right now, Elder Andersen and I are covering both the Springfield 1st Ward and the University Ward. They pulled the Sister Missionaries out for a transfer(6 weeks). That was a change. We always have our days swamped with teaching and setting up more appointments so that we can teach new people and help all of them get baptized. That was definiately a change. And every single companionship has changed. I am now the oldest missionary in the zone. Just call me Father Fellows. That is change. I have been in this area for over 6 months(the longest time i have been in an area yet), and I might stay here until my mission is done.

A little info for Dad and Holley. PAY ATTENTION HERE! There is a man named Bob Brown that is going to be baptized up in Murray, Utah this weekend, 2 July at 10am. We have been visiting him for the past few months and he is wanting to be baptized where all the people that were influential in his conversion. It's in the Riverside 5th Ward/Murray Utah North Stake with Bishop Meyers there. He is going to be baptized with the granddaughter of one of his friends. His friend's name is Mary Kay Pearson, and her granddaughter is named Rebecca Anderson. I think it would be cool if you attended that baptism of Bob's. I know it's not very far from where ya'll live, so you should consider going and supporting an investigator we have been visiting.

Well, that's all I got for everyone today.

Love ya
Elder Fellows
