WEEK 93: Mother's Day Call

My companion Elder Dromey is leaving and they are reinstating me as part of the p team. My new companion will be Elder Pearse. It has been about 6 months since I had a companion whose last name started with P. He is from England and is way funny. I know him a fair bit and I can't wait to serve with him. Elder Dromey is going to Sunderland in the very North of England. 

We got to Skype home this week and it was great to see my family! They are amazing. A special treat was saying goodbye to my brother Tanner who will be leaving on his mission on Wednesday! It will be a long four years of not seeing each other but I am so excited for him. He will be a great missionary and really do a lot of good with the people in Ghana.

The highlight of the week was having a Slovak family come to church with us. 17 people walked an hour and twenty minutes to get there with us! One son, Urban, really is not enjoying England so far. He wants to work and is qualified to run the heavy construction equipment but his English isn't good enough yet to get that sort of a job. It really makes me sad because he wants to change his lifestyle but is struggling. I can't wait for him to see how God can play a role in his learning the language and achieving his goals. He will be able to find so much more joy and live up to his potential.

Have a great week,

Elder Pace
