Hola Familia/ Amigos
Holy cow! I need to seriously apologize. It's 4:09 and
I am sitting in the back of my car, driving back to the apartment after playing
a seriously good amount of basketball and realized that I completely forgot to
email y'all! However I am going to try and write it, and get it sent when we
get to a members house who has Wifi! I sure hope they have WIFI, because if
they don't y'all will know by receiving this email next Monday along
with an email for next week!
However, with that being said, just let me
tell you how crazy this week has been! Monday was a regular day, however I was
having to say goodbye to all the members there in Sebastopol as well as the
investigators. It was super sad to say goodbye to some great members in our
mission. Rio Vista and Sebastopol definitely have the best English members in
the Mission!
Tuesday for transfers it was great! It was a
lot of fun seeing a bunch of missionaries. However I definitely feel very old
in the mission because I didn't know very many of the missionaries. Most of the
missionaries I know have all gone home because their time came to an end.
However there a still a few of my good buddies left here. My arrival to
Woodland was a great experience! I was
able to find a bike that was given to me by a dying missionary. It was super
small for me though when I got it at transfers but when I got to Woodland there
was a frame from a bike with absolutely nothing on it just sitting on the
porch. It is a Marin, and it's a huge frame! Which worked perfectly! I
immediately began to take all of the working parts and change them to the Marin
Frame! So in other words I made my own bike. It is pretty cool! It's crazy how
now this bikes means so much to me because I made it!
I woke up Wednesday morning an
established some great things within the Apartment! I also woke up with the
worst sore throat I have ever felt in my life! I got a priesthood blessing and
immediately had the feeling I had strep throat! I called a doctor who is a
member and he immediately prescribed me amoxicillin. It has been helping so
much! I already feel so much better.
Thursday was another rough day! I got my
bike finished at this point! One thing I was super excited about was the fact
that we do a lot of service here in Woodland! It's definitely not like the
service we were doing in Sebastopol! However I know that service is service! As
long as I'm in service of my fellow beings I’m in the service of God! What a
wonderful blessing that is!
Friday we had a wonderful Zone Meeting!
It was a lot of fun! This zone is great, it's kind of small but luckily we all
get a long great! It was kind of weird being the oldest missionary in the Zone,
or in other words the missionary who has been out the longest. Actually it's
not just kind of weird, it's super weird! I don't like the feeling. We
were also able to get our weekly planning done that day! Man do I dislike
weekly planning! It is so long, and so boring. It's even worse the first time
with a new companion because you have to completely readjust to the ways that
your companion does his weekly planning. However Elder Long and I actually had
a wonderful time. We pretty much did it the same way, which was a
blessing!
This week was a wonderful week overall! I'm
still very sorry and apologize to you all for not emailing! It won't happen
again! However I hope you all have a wonderful week! Follow the Spirit it is
the most important thing we can have in our life! Love the Lord, and remembers
it's Valentine's Day this week! Remember what he did for you, and how much he loves
each and every one of us!
Love,
Elder Albertson
