Elder Bloxham - The Promised Land!!!

This week has been absolutely fabulous!! I got my new companion, Elder Hanks!!! I am so blessed, yet again, to have a beyond awesome companion! Okay so the funny thing about this is, again, when I was in Winchester, we would go to Muncie and play basketball all the time on Pday right? Okay, so Elder Anderton and I would always play with this other missionary... I wonder who that was? ELDER HANKS!!!! The three of us were always on the same team, and we are all three exactly alike!! What are the odds!?!? This, like the last one, will be the fastest transfer ever!

We want to make this the greatest transfer not only for us but for the whole zone. We have been working so hard to get everybody pumped. I am way competitive and so is Elder Hanks, so we love competitions. We have gotten our zone to like them as well so now they are throwing them out against other districts! It's so funny!! The Highland Heights Ward meets at the same building as the Lakeside Park Ward, and the HH District challenged the LKP District to a finding challenge. The winner of the challenge was able to claim the building! Haha, the Highland Heights District won, so now it is the Highland Heights building, and not the Lakeside Park building, we thought that was pretty funny! It's awesome to see the motivation in the zone and how hard all the missionaries are working!

The greatest motivator that I have found is love. If you know that somebody loves you and is asking you to do something, you willingly do it and do it your best! But once somebody tells you to do something without love, it's annoying. haha!! I have learned this because of the sweet sisters in our Zone! They are always the best!!! No matter if they had a terrible week, they had the best week ever! But now I have learned to give compliments not just because I have to, but because I love all the missionaries so much I compliment them! It makes being a zone leader so much fun and so rewarding!!!

I'd like to thank y'all for the support and I love you!!

I'm so lucky to have a sweet sister in Florence who sends me pictures!
I'm so thankful she takes such good care of the missionaries!
