Week #100 - Grand Island, NE

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

The news is in!

I have been transferred! My apt is great, my comp is great, my ward is great, we are working hard and we have one baptism this transfer for sure! Our district is huge and as far as I can tell most of them are great missionaries and we are going to work hard! This last transfer is going to be a blast and I know we will see miracles. We are serving as the only set of English Elders for Grand Island Nebraska, a city of over 50,000. We have Spanish Elders here as well, but that is it, so we have no boundaries, just a language boundary: we don't teach Spanish speakers. We don't teach in Spanish anyway so it isn't really a big deal haha. My new companion is Elder

James Dallimore, he is 22 years old, and is fairly mature and has a great attitude towards missionary work. I am excited to be greenie busting. My new address is:

3721E W Capital St Apt. 309, Grand Island, NE 68801

(I would prefer if letters were sent to the mission office during the last 3 weeks, or if people would just hold on to them or send an email instead so that letters don't get lost or left.)

Our apartments finished construction at the end of last year, so they are fairly new. Also, our complex has a gym that no one uses with tons of workout equipment and a pool and a theater (that second two we don't use) so we work out frequently in the mornings.

We have one investigator who will almost certainly be getting baptized on the 22nd named Randy. He and his soon to be wife are getting married this week. We talked to them this week and discussed the importance of the priesthood and the role it will play in his life when he is baptized.

We met a really awesome African American guy who we set for baptism the other day. He is moving to Herington, KS so we will be referring him but it was a great lesson and I enjoyed teaching him!

We also taught a Seventh Day Adventist pastor and committed him to read the book of Mormon placing his faith in Jesus Christ to receive direction that it is true, hopefully he will pray and recognize his answer from God and we will continue teaching him!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Love you all!

With firm conviction,

Elder Adair
