WEEK 89: Fun Exchanges

We were able to go on exchange with Elder Peck and Elder Kostrab! I love those guys. I got to spend Monday night with Elder Peck and it was so much fun being with him again (Note:  Elder Peck was Tyson's companion in the missionary training center and they went to England together and will leave England together!) I learn so much from his example and total dedication every time. Tuesday I was with Elder Kostrab and that was also way fun. We got to speak a lot of Slovak together and he was very patient with me as he helped correct my mistakes and teach me new things. He is already so confident and capable as a new missionary! They are great.

We met a bloke named Dwayne this week. He really hopes his life can be changed by believing in Christ. His faith is inspiring. It was cool to hear him open up about things that he has noticed in his own life and then express his willingness to follow Christ in the hopes that it will help him. He has done everything he said he would do and I hope he is feeling a difference already. I think the most rewarding part of this work is seeing the transformation in people as they take steps toward Christ and allow his power to strengthen them. It's amazing as they start feeling his love. 

I also got to go on exchange (this is a day swap of your colleague) with my "grandson", Elder Dromey. The guy who taught him how to be a missionary was Elder Campbell who is the guy that I got to teach. Although, Elder Campbell knew what he was doing from day 1 so I didn't do much teaching. It was a cool experience to be with Elder Dromey for a day. He is funny and I am glad to get to know him now. 

Love you all,

Elder Pace
