Hey Family!
I'm here safe and sound in Ventura. Straight from the airport, another elder who was on the same plane as me and I got to have dinner at the mission home and talk about rules and have an interview with the mission president. It was great! I love President Castro. He is so inspired. I'm amazed at how well he already knows me and loves me just from meeting me once. He gave me some awesome advice that I don't think he could have known to give me except through revelation.
Straight from there, I went to meet my companion, then we went to ward council. Our first full day was yesterday and it went great! We studied, tracted, had dinner with some members, then taught a lesson. It went really well and my companion said she was really surprised at how successful tracting was. A lot were interested and we were able to find some new investigators. By the end of the day I was exhausted, I slept super well last night, but it was a great first day! I really am surprised at how tiring it is. I spend a lot of time praying for more strength to be able to do it all. I'm sure I'll get used to it. As of now, I definitely feel that I am giving all my heart, might, mind and strength.
My companion is from Kearns and she's a great trainer! She doesn't baby me and she is here to help me learn. This is her last transfer! So she's kind of sad about that. But I will work hard and help her finish out strong.
That's about it! Everything's going well and I'm doing my best to learn. I feel well prepared and that I'm getting the hang of it quickly. I'm embarking in the service of God and loving it!
Thank you so much for all your support. I love you!
