Well, today we got transfer calls! That's where our zone leaders call us and tell us if we are staying or leaving the area. My companion, Elder Ruiz, is being transferred out, and I am staying here in Bushwick. That means that I will be getting a new companion tomorrow in Transfer Meeting. I'm pretty excited. There are some great people here who I would be sad to leave. Plus, we just started making some progress with a couple less actives. It's great! It'll be good to have a clean slate, a new companion, and a little mini-reboot.
I absolutely love seeing how the Lord uses my talents and experiences to hasten His work. There are a couple of less actives about my age who we have been having a hard time getting in to. Well, when we did manage to get in, we found out that they love games. So, we brought over a couple card games and played with them, sharing a spiritual thought at the end. Also, we just started a weekly gaming session with them, inviting some other amazing youth from the church to join in at the church. My experience in putting together such events has proved helpful, because none of the people in attendance have ever put something like it together. The success and progress we have seen from
that event in the two, and their friendship with the members is astounding to me. I love being a missionary, and I'm definitely going to have to visit Bushwick after my mission.
Love,
Elder Richard Brandt Hull
