March 2005
Bayfield, Colorado
March 25, 2005 - Jared returned home on medical leave. He as the option to return to the missionfield in 6 months.
March 14, 2005 - Jared e-mailed to report that Elsie's baptism is all set for this week.
March 7, 2005 - Jared e-mailed to say that on March 8 Elder Moore is departing for Espanola and Jared has been assigned one of the 6 new missionaries arriving in Albuquerque. Elsie is still planning for a March 16th baptism. Things continue to be getting better here, however slowly. I'm grateful for all the fasting and prayers in my behalf and look forward to training a new missionary, though here in Bayfield that will be extra challenging.
During transfers I got to see sister Culler again and she gave me a big hug, while the other Elder's wondered what was going on. I also met up with Elder Landon who also had a change of companions.
Jared wrote "My new companion is Elder Allen from Dallas Texas. I have not yet had two companions from the same state and I'm covering the states pretty fast. He's pretty cool but we are definitely not alike, but we'll get along. He's not into sports or anything outdoors and he's already complaining about how cold it is here (and it has been warm lately). He is also homesick, but he'll get over it."
Things here are getting better every week, I just wish it would get better faster.
