Elder Aidan Holyoak: City Boy 🌆🧔🏼

This was a really crazy week, and I don't know where to start so I'll just jump into it.

Seth

One of the best things this week was the Baptism for our friend Seth. He was taught by missionaries last year and then lost contact with them. He showed up to church one day and said he's ready to continue the lessons. He is a barber and a super cool guy. He was super ready for baptism and I'm excited to see what his new life has in store.

Exchanges

So on Sunday I got a text from one of the AP's asking if we could go on exchange next week. On Tuesday they called again and asked if we could do the exchange on Wednesday... the next day. I said yes and we met up at district council. I went with Elder Englebright and it was a great day. He goes home in a month and he's a super funny guy.

Emergency Transfers

On Saturday we were eating dinner having a jolly good time. The phone rang and it was Elder Englebright again. He just dropped the bomb and said there was an emergency transfer. They are sending me to Alajo in the Tesano zone. They called me to be a Zone Leader there with Elder Zile. It was a little unexpected, especially because we are only halfway through this transfer. Tesano is the most city zone in the whole mission. I've been out in the bush my entire mission so far so it'll be a big switch up. I am gonna miss trees though.

Saying Goodbyes

Saying goodbye to everyone in Breku has been rough. I have loved my time in this area. I am extremely excited for my new area but Breku will always have a special place in my heart. I never got to finish Elder Ivins' training either so I hope he turns out alright. Haha

Scripture of the Week

Mosiah 26:18 - "Yea, blessed is this people who are willing to bear my name; for in my name shall they be called; and they are mine."
