Dear Family,
What a week. It was incredibly hectic. But incredibly productive. We got to
see a lot of members and we've seen a ton of progress in the work. It was sad to
see Elder Moeller go. We dropped him off at the train station last night and I
spent the night with Elder Yeung. Elder Moeller was one the Elders I respected
the most that I've ever met.
Now onto the new adventure! With Elder Moeller dead now I recognize the
fact: I'm old now. One of the oldest missionaries in our zone. This transfer I
will be serving with Elder Bollard and it will be his first transfer as a zone
leader. He is two transfers younger than me and his from California. I know him
from when he was in Pau and I was in Bordeaux. He is the man. This will be a
really fun and exciting transfer. We received a new companionship in the zone,
which means we now have 23 missionaries and a senior couple in our zone. I've
spent my entire day at the train station helping missionaries catch their
trains. Tomorrow will be the day that we do most of our planning, and then hit
the ground running for the next 6 weeks.
This transfer we'll be focusing a lot on organization, planning, and
punctuality. This past transfer we worked super hard, but were all over the
place. We have a ton of great progressing amis. Several of which have expressed
their desire already to be baptized. These people are named Kevin, Margot,
Zahira, Oy, Ruben, Redoine and Marie and then we have a ton of others that we're
working with. Lots of exciting progress! Very grateful and happy with the
potential we have right now. Nervous and stressed to keep everything moving
slowly.
How excited are you for General conference???!!
I love you all so very much! Make it a great week!
Your Heavenly Father and
Savior love you!
Elder Montgomery
