This week has been wonderful! It was my last week in Pueblo because I am being transferred to the valley, Alamosa 2nd and 4th wards! It was a great final week here though, I will miss it.
I am very excited to serve in my new area! I have heard a lot about the Valley. It is one of the first places that the Latter Day Saints settled so it is like a mini Utah in some places. It has a pretty high elevation up there and some years is the coldest place on the continent! It is about a 3 hour drive up to the mission home and it just sounds like a lot of fun! I guess I will find out if everything I have heard is true pretty soon!
I am super excited though because for the first year of my mission I will have had perfect weather! Serving in Canon City and Pueblo for winter was perfect because it didn't get too cold and the Valley only gets up to like 85 in summer!
My new companion will be Elder Nelson. I have met him a few times but don't know too much about him but that he used to be a Spanish missionary and that he is a big guy haha. he has been out for i think a transfer less than me and has been a zone leader for oneless than me as well. I am excited to get to know him though.
I will be sad to leave Pueblo though! It has been an awesome area! Elder Garton and I got along really well and we were so busy, it felt like I was only here for a month or so but it has been 3! I have made some amazing connections with people here and will definitely have to come back to visit some of them.
I think the highlight of this week was being able to meet with the Trujillos. They are a family in the ward that is awesome! The husband was baptized several years ago and he and his wife were able to be sealed a couple years ago! But no one taught him how to give blessings or hold Family Home Evening or anything! So after dinner he asked us to come over again and teach him that stuff. It was an awesome experience to be able to show him how to do those things. It made me grateful that I had a Father that taught me those things.
It was a great week though! I am excited for some change and will strive to move the work forward in Alamosa with all that I have!
Love,
Elder Morgan
