Elder Bloxham - Another Transfer down :)

 I've got some awesome news everyone.... I'm staying in Dayton!!!!! I am so excited!! But i've got some bad news as well.... :( Elder Sunderland, Klodnicki, and Packer are all leaving... The D-Town District is getting split up.. But it is okay, the tradition of hard work lives on in Dayton. Also, because it is transfers, i will be getting a new companion, which will be coming straight from the airplane! I'm training again!! :):) There are 11 Elders and 11 Sisters coming out this transfer, which is crazy because the sisters are starting to take ova!! :) Which is awesome because Sister Missionaries are so amazing! :) But I am privileged enough to train a new missionary again :)
      This last week was so so so amazing!!!! We found wonderful new investigators, and taught a lot of people. We taught 22 lessons, and got 5 new Investigators. :) It is so awesome!!
      I am so sad that i am losing Elder Packer. We had so much fun together. We had fun, but got work dun! I have loved serving with him, and not only have i learned patience, trust me, i've learned patience, but i've learned much much more. He is awesome, and will be an amazing missionary throughout his mission.
      So, yesterday i had to speak in sacrament meeting. I was well warned, like a month ahead, and i started to prepare a month ahead, but this last week got so crazy, i forgot that i'd be speaking... So i walk into church and Mario (Rob smith) hands me the program, and right as he reaches out to hand it to me.... I realize i was speaking... So i run into the chapel and sit down and start breaking out the scriptures. I had forgotten the notes i had prepared, but i realized what i could speak on. The Atonement of Jesus Christ, and Faith. Beauty. I won't be able to share my whole talk with you, but i can share the scriptures that i used :) Alma 7:11-13, Ether 12:6-7, John 15: 13-15, and... That is all i can think of right now. But it was such an amazing talk. When i was rummaging through to find scriptures, it felt like i was all over the place. But when i was speaking, it all flowed perfectly together. It was so amazing. :) Oh, also Ether 12:33-34. But it was fun, i enjoyed it.
       I love you guys so much and i'm thankful for the continual support!!
Godspeed!!
-Elder Bloxham
