New Changes

So I wanted to make an announcement that I got the transfer call this last night and found out that I will be serving with Elder Yardley in Gyumri starting tomorrow. I’m going to be in a new area without the knowledge of knowing where any members live. I was also given the position of district leader. This will be a new opportunity for me to grow even more. I was planning on doing the district meetings in Armenian because Elder Arshakian will still be in my district. And then there are 3 new missionaries coming in that don’t know much Armenian. What do I do? Do it in Armenian or English? I don’t know. Because I don’t want Elder Arshakian feel singled out within our district.

This last week we were asked to pass out an orange a day as a gift to people and so they will remember Christ. But instead of passing one out we passed out 12 in one day. We understood the letter wrong. Ha-ha. Oh well it made some people really happy. I had one lady that wouldn’t take it when I tried to give it to her. But when my companion offered her the orange she took it. Interesting huh?  Tomorrow a sister and an Elder are going home. And our senior missionaries are moving to Vanadzor or Georgia. They helped a lot in this area. The senior missionaries are the only reason some of the members would let us into their home. Now they are gone.  What a Bummer. They were great.

OH funny story. Uh kind of? We went to Yerevan and on our way back we stopped at some restaurant and ordered some food. While I was eating I bit down on something really crunchy and I pulled a piece of glass out. We all thought it was from the food. The guys that made the food were kind of panicking. But as I further investigated I looked at my glass coca cola bottle and noticed it was chipped at the top. End of story I ate some glass. I thought I was going to die. But the branch president and my companion said I would be fine. I was about to call sister carter. Ends up I’m alive. And now I can say I ate glass and survived.

Congratulations Jason on your MBA. You look good in purple. ha-ha Kynzlee has grown up and Tyce is huge for his age. I Can’t wait to talk with you all. Love you all

Love Elder Rackham
