Dear Family and Friends,
So this week, I was talking with my Zone Leaders, Elder Smith (my trainer), and I told him about the situation here in Crows Landing (what with all of the bautismos and stuff). His suggestion - call President Gonzalez. So, after a couple deep breaths and mustering up the courage, I made the call. Right off the bat, I was telling him about all the reasons for which I needed to stay (which, in my opinion, ranged between satisfactory and excellent) to which he replied, "Uh Huh?" and "Ok...?".
After my raging torrent of argument, he paused and then said, "Well Elder Ostler... do you feel that transfer calls are inspired of the Lord?"
At this point, I will tell you... I felt lower than dirt. Haha... it definitely deflated my head, that is for sure. "Yes President" I peeped.
"Great! Well, is there anything else that I can do for ya?"
"uhh.. no that's about it."
Anyway, so I was kinda scared about what was going to be happening for transfers, but then at some point I just figured that it was out of my hands and so I had better just deal with whatever happened.
So, Saturday evening we were ANXIOUSLY waiting for transfer calls... and we waited and waited and waited. Finally, I took the phone from my companion around 9:30 and it said that we had voicemail. I called, and what do you know but it was transfer calls.
The news is... I AM STAYING IN CROWS LANDING! YES!!!!
I knew it. Well, I hoped it. Either way, I will be here for another transfer. =)
I am super happy. Oh, and I will be staying with my companion, Elder Boekweg.
So Justin Rosales had his baptismal interview and it went well, so he is getting baptized on the 18 June.
Lisa Rivera said that she wants to be baptized 25 June.
The Bolton's want to be baptized 2 & 3 July. (They are waiting for Johnny to get back from Corcoran).
So that is that.
We are working with Richard and Luisa. He is super ready to be baptized although he needs to get married to Luisa. He is excited though!
Anyway,
I think that is about it.
I love you all, (yes... even you, dearest fans)
Love,
Elder Ostler
Oh by the way, I haven't received many letters from any of you (both friends or family... so yeah. Write me!
