Well everyone, we've come to the end of another transfer. And this one marks the end of Elder Fonnesbeck's mission. That's right, he's going home.
It is a sad day indeed. From Labor Day to Presidents day, and
all the other holidays in between, Elder Fonnesbeck and I have seen it
all. We've been through the thick and thin, the good and the bad, the
happy and the sad, the ups and the downs, but sadly, we haven't been to
In and Out.
We've gone through many phases as well. Such as
the painting phase, when we got into painting. The poetry phase, when we
got into poetry. The puzzle phase, which was really short-lived because
we only had one puzzle and it was missing an edge piece and really
frustrating. And finally, the punch-making phase which has probably
caused us to be pre-diabetic. Coincidentally, all of them start with the
letter "P".
But most of all its been an amazing time serving
the people of St. Johns with him and we have become good friends in the
process. The people of St. Johns will miss him dearly, as will I.
Rest in Peace Elder Fonnesbeck... Rest in Peace...
Well, I hope that was dramatic enough for you, anyway though, it was a good week.
We've
been doing lots of service as usual. One day this week we painted
someone's fence without asking permission from the owner of the fence.
Luckily they weren't home.
Also,
Jenny was baptized! I also found out her name is spelled Ginny. So
Ginny's baptism was great. Steve, her husband, who was baptized a month
or so ago, was the one who baptized her. It was just a neat experience
and it was really special hearing her testimony as well. It was just
really inspiring and spiritual. I'm grateful to have been able to get to
know them and be a part of their lives.
Well, I gotta go.
Til I write again,
~Elder Oswald
