It was a pretty
rough week! The work went great we found
6 new investigators and got 12 referrals, so that was awesome, but it was a
pretty stress filled week. We got a new
mission president on Saturday and that night an elder in this zone got in a car
accident. He was hit by a dodge truck
going 60 mph, was life flighted to Des Moines and is in critical condition in
the hospital. He only has a few broken
ribs and some big cuts on his head but he hit his head pretty hard and isn't
functioning fully yet. He responds and
is excelling rapidly but there is some possible brain damage. He gets better everyday and we were able to
go and see him yesterday as he opened his eye (one is too swollen to open
still) for the first time and was looking at us. He still doesn't talk but can give you a
thumbs up and nod his head. He is doing
good though. Yesterday we had zone
conference and got to meet President Jensen for the first time so that was
fun! He's definitely different than Pres
Jergensen. A lot more soft spoken and
unsure about what he's doing but he still carries the spirit with him and I'm
sure will be a great leader. Not sure if
everyone was able to watch the new mission presidents broadcast seminar but its
online and was filled with some cool things that are happening. Check it
out! I was able to talk to President
Jensen on the phone last week before he got here and he told us a lot of things
that might be changing soon. We will get
I-pads in the near future to help us with teaching and keeping track of
everything in the area. That will be a
great tool to be able to show people different videos of General Authorities
and Mormon messages as well as talks from conferences and ensigns. The work is changing and we need more and
more help from the members. This is a
GREAT work and an amazing time to be a part of it.
Love Elder
