Packing and Repacking

Hey Everyone!

This week has been a ton of fun! I went on an exchange on Wednesday and went to Lenoir with my old companion Elder Olson! It was so much fun since it was our first time seeing each other since we served together about 7 months ago! It was a good time.

Then on Friday we went on another exchange with some other missionaries. I had so much fun. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in a single day on my mission. I had so much fun with them. They are in a trio so I swapped with one of them and got to be in the trio for a day and it was awesome.

To top everything off the deaf man we’ve been teaching, James Craig, entered the waters of baptism on Sunday! It was so exciting and we were able to get all of the missionaries that have taught him to come and support him. We were even able to Skype in the ASL missionaries from Salt Lake because they interpreted a lot for us in our lessons via Skype. It was really neat!

Ever since I got moved to this new area things have been pretty hard for me. It’s been pretty rough and I’ve been a lot more stressed lately. A lot of it is because my companion and I have some serious differences personality-wise. But I learned a lot of good stuff this week from all of the other missionaries I got to spend time with and so I’m excited to apply it this week ahead and see if I can make this the best week yet!

I love all of you and hope you all have an incredible week!

Until next week,
Elder Klingler
