Oh my heck... What just happened? First off, the reason I am emailing so late is because President Albright switched our P Day to Wednesday, so we could find on the Holiday... Anyways, last wednesday, we got a call from Rajeevs friend, Elizabeth, who has been fellowshipping him. She told us that Rajeev had picked a date, and that we need to start prepping that night. So we went over and started talking about dates. He said he want's to be baptized June 10!!!!! We had a baptism Record, and we started filling out the basic information, to make it easier on the District Leader who interviews him (that's what our ZL's told us to do)... while talking, I felt impressed to ask him the questions that the district leader would ask him in his interview. We went through and he answered all the questions right except for one. He told us that he and his ex-wife had been involved in an abortion many years ago. So because of that, we have to have President or one of his counsilors interview him. luckily we found out then, rather than later. We had talked about the commandments before, and he never had mentioned anything like that. I was so happy to have acted on that impression! Perfect example of how we are only instruments in God's hands.
Last Tuesday night was a pretty nervous one. That was when we would get the call from our district leader about transfers. At 10 pm, Elder Barney called and told us that I was leaving, and Elder Rausch was staying. HOLY MOLY! We thought that we were staying another transfer together, to finish the 12 week program. But God wanted me somewhere else. I was sitting in transfer meeting, and president albright started calling off the companionships. The second one he says "Elder Dehaan will be training Elder Litchfield as the new office elder"... I couldn't believe it. That was last Thursday. It's been so fun/hectic! I'm living with the AP's. I have a HUGE queen size bed. I'm with president all the time helping him and his wife with computer problems. Every sunday night we record key indicators from all of the zones. It's so interesting to see all of the zones numbers. My companion, Elder Dehaan, is awesome! I love him so much. He came out a transfer after I did. He is from Utah, kinda by SLC. He is into Theater and singing. His dad is a well known music teacher. He is SO funny! We're going to have a really good time. This transfer is only 5 weeks, rather than 6, because the Albrights are going home. So next transfer will be 7 weeks with President Riggs. The AP's have told me that we will stay in the office next transfer.
