Well we received our transfer calls this last Saturday, and I will be leaving the Fossil Ridge area. I have mixed feelings about leaving. I'm sad to leave some of the families. The ward is great and gives us a lot of support. There are some recent converts and less active members that I've grown fairly close to. I'm not too upset about leaving because I've knocked almost every door in the area in my short stay, and the work has slowed down quite a bit.
I will be transferred to the Temple 1st area. It is in the Killean West zone. It is one of the farthest south areas in the mission. I'm excited to be headed back to a more country place. I hear the work is always pretty strong, despite the heavy southern baptist leaning down there.
My companion will be Elder Bevan. I haven't talked to anyone who knows him, so I guess we'll find out Wednesday. I think he is probably a fairly young missionary.
We had an eventful week. Last Monday Elder Walker had some weird chest pain. Tuesday we went to the doctors to check it out. The doctor said it was probably something to do with his esophagus, and scheduled him to have a camera shoved down his throat. On Friday we went to go get the camera shoved down his throat. The doctor said that he had some disease that meant that he had acid reflux, and also some scarring from previous surgeries that food gets hung up on. All in all he is fine. They said he just needs to adjust his diet a bit and to chew his food more.
We had begun teaching the young man that is the boyfriend to a member of the ward. He was progressing well and everything, but then he broke up with his member girlfriend. We found out how pure his intentions were when we gave him a call to see if he still wanted to learn. When he found out who it was he hung up on us. It was a tad bit frustrating.
I know that Walker and his new companion will be able to turn things around. It's the Lord's work and it must go on.
Anyways,
Love,
Elder Rindlisbacher
