Been slacking

I never did get to this last week. I was busy, Donald emailed on Tuesday instead of Monday, and we went to the river for Thanksgiving. With all of that, I just never got a round tuit. All I had was square tuits.

Here we go for today. I am going to post his short notes from last week and then follow with his comments from this week. Enjoy, Ron

Hey dad

 This week has been crazy, super busy with zone conference and transfer calls. I am getting transferred! I am going to Leeds 3 which is the Gilmores ward I believe. I am sad to be leaving Wakefield, but am glad to go somewhere new at the same time. I have really realised how much love I have gained for the people here in the wakefield ward and area. I guess my new companion is from Californiahe has been out for 3 month so I am excited to serve with him. I will definatley miss Elder Van Scheltema, I love him so much, we got along very well. Being a district leader is a lot of fun. I enjoy especially because I get to think and worry about other people, not just myself. I really love seeing the changes in others, and also seeing little changes in myself. I dont know if ive gained or lost weight, just trying to stay healthy. People eat a alot of sweets and chocolate here haha. I dont really know yet what time I will skype, But I am pretty sure it is whenever I want to. I will find out soon though. Thank you for everything you do, we will see how the new area is!!! I am excited and will let you know next week!

Love Elder McGinnis

 

In the beginning of the week it started snowing like slush it was crazy!!!! It is freezing here!!! ahaha Never been in such cold weather in my entire life ahaha the wind and air is like ice!!!

(note, actually he has been in colder but does not remember our Montana flash trip when he was 5, Ron)

 

This is from the mission office:

 

My current address is: 7 Poplar Croft Leeds England LS13 4SX

 

All packages and letters for Christmas need to be sent to that address, after Christmas back to the the mission office address. If someone already mailed packages or letters to mission office already dont worry it is okay I will get them. If you send a package it has to be marked as personal items NOT FOR RESALE.

 

Thanks dad I kno we already have the christmas present thing situated we just had to inform this to our parents I love you and mum thanks for all you do!

 

Love Elder McGinnis

 

 

Hey Dad!

 Its been a hectic week with transfers, but so good. I am in my new area Leeds 3 with my new companion Elder Blackwell, hes great. He is from Tracy California, about 4-5 hours away from Orange County I guess. Church was good in the new ward, and also knowing a couple families already. Hopefully we will be able to skype at the Gilmores/rushworths on Christmas day since you know them. ahah We also have the assistants to the president living rght next to us, its great, they are a lot of fun. They just moved into the ward we are in to. It was wierd not having a Thanksgiving dinner, but it was great having to work. I honestly love my mission so much. I am starting to see the little changes that are happening in myself as I work hard and help others. I am really focusing on giving as much charity to the people here in England with nothing in return. It is such a great attribute I want to try to perfect to become more like Christ. I am so greatful for the gospel and for the atonement in my life. Thank you for always watching over me I love you and mum so much thank you.

 

Love Elder McGinnis
