Elder Bloxham - Transfer week!!

I am not getting transferred!!!! I will be staying to Northern Kentucky Y'all!! Now this is when i get to find out where all the other missionaries are going. I start with finding out who is leaving, who is going to be the new Zone Leaders, and then i get to narrow it closer to who's mine!! :)

I loved that i got to call the Family on Mother's Day!!! Gosh it was so amazing to see those smiling faces. It is crazy that Syd is getting ready for BYU-I, that is out of control. Graduation is coming soon, and then the next thing you know Jessi will be home, (Don't get trunky :) ) and then it will be Christmas and we'll be calling. I say this all the time, but there is no such thing as time. It flies!!!! Yesterday i got into Northern Kentucky, and now we are done with the first transfer. Wow!!! But it's amazing because i get to learn from new people, so that will be awesome. Elder Anderton is leaving... :(  We got along way to well to stay longer than one transfer, i guess that is how it goes. Once you get along with your companion you leave them, but when you are fighting you always stay with them for a long time.... haha hope everyone is getting along with their companions!!

We have a lot of people getting closer to baptism, and it is making things get even harder. Mallik (sounds like muh- leek) is getting close, and now he knows that the Book of Mormon is true, but the devil is working overtime with him. But he is on the right path so that will be amazing! We are teaching a family of 6 and that has been a rollercoaster as well! I can't even remember all their names because they are all black names. I know that the oldest is Tyreke, and the next boy is Tayshawn. I remember them because Tyreke Evans and Tayshawn Prince! Haha so that is pretty cool! But things are looking up and i'm excited for this next transfer!

I love you guys so much and thank you so much for all the support you give to me each and every day!

To all the wonderful mothers out there, Happy Mothers Day!! Alma 56: 47-48

47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

 48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers,saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
