Hey everybody!
I am doing so great! My new area is really cool. It is in the same stake I was in three months ago, so I get to see some of the same people! We have had a lot of miracles this week too! Elder Calizo and I went tracting and found nine new investigators on Friday! Two families from Africa and a 19 year old boy from there too. They are all so cool, and I can't wait to start teaching all of them. Elder Tipene and I went tracting on Saturday in between conference sessions. We found quite a few people but the best was a family of four. They were so nice to us and we helped them pack some stuff into a trailer because they are moving. They were saying to us, "You know, every time we move, Mormon missionaries show up. It must be a sign, huh?" They were joking, but we got them this time! They live in Clarkson, which is covered by the Sisters in our district. They fed us burgers that night that were really good. The two kids are so nice too! They are four and two.
It is so hot here - not really though - I am just not as used to it as I used to be. Winter is coming up and it should start raining a lot, so I am pretty excited. I can't believe how fast time is going! Michael's graduation is only two months away. That's not even two transfers! And I will be at a year in my mission time then too! Wow, it is too crazy. I am excited for Easter. I love that time of year because of how we get to remember Jesus being resurrected. Conference really was so great! One of the Seventy who was released, Elder Caulister, was the Elder who came to my first area in the mission. I was surprised to see him released, but it helped me remember all he has talked about. There also seemed to be a lot of talks about not doing stupid things - things that waste time and don't mean anything. I will have to think about that since most everything I like to do is just a waste of time. I am more committed than ever to follow the Savior! My roommate, Nick Johnson was in the choir at Priesthood session. That was cool to see.
My favorite part of the mission is meeting people I never would have otherwise - all my companions, etc. It is cool with companions especially. I mean, when would I have ever met three Utahans, one Malaysian, one recent convert, two Maoris, a Hawaiian and a Samoan and lived with them all for a month and a half each? it took a while to explain, but it is sick anyway. Sometimes, while driving, I realize I'm not in America and I freak out like I'm in a totally different world, and I am totally chill about it and that is weird to me.
I love you all so much!
Elder Jamison
