Soooo get ready for this!!! I got a call friday night at about 10:00 and it was President Porter. He was asking me about how i was doing and how the area was. I tell him that it's decent but it could be better.. He then was like alright i hope you have a good night. And i'm like thats weird?
He calls back at 10:15 and says pack your bags, your getting Emergency Transferred to Dayton, Ohio. I was like WHAT!? He said that the area i was going into has the highest baptising rate in the mission and the Lord told him to put me into this area. He didn't know why it was me, he said he could have chosen anybody in the mission, but i will be finishing Elder Sunderlands training and will be serving in Downtown Dayton. :)
The assistants arrived at our West Chester apartments at 8 in the morn, and took me to Dayton! I didn't even have time to unpack, we went right to a lesson!! And come to find out, at 6:00 that evening, we were having a baptism. So i get put into and area, with a baptism, and an amazing companion. Elder Sunderland is absolutely amazing. He's been out for 2 1/2 months, from Rupert, Idaho. He is exactly like Josh Parkinson. I think that is why we get along so great!! We work hard, and teach so amazing together!!!
President Porter says that he has faith in me that i will keep this area growing. He knows and trusts that i will work hard and keep the baptisms going! This experience is such a blessing!!! I was getting bogged down, and discouraged (as i kinda said in my last letter) and so little does President Porter know, that he put me in this area at a perfect time!!
The lord knows exactly where and when he wants his missionaries to serve. Even if i don't know until bedtime. The lord works in mysterious ways, and i just found out by experience!!
So i have a new address now, i don't know it, but i will send a letter out so you will be able to know :)
Thank you so much for the love and support!!!
Love,
Elder Bloxham
