Dear Family
Transfers are in, in the California Roseville Mission. Drumroll please: Elder Nicholas Ellsworth will be a Trainer, as well as a District Leader for the upcoming Transfer. Obviously I didn't do a good enough job the first time around as one, so they needed me to learn a few more lessons while giving it a second go. Honestly though, I kind of suspected that I was going to be both of these since our current District Leader had been here a while and was getting ready to take off to a new area. Also Elder Van Leuven and I get along pretty good but I will be sad to see him go. However we have some plans to go and hike down to Havasupai next summer so that will be a blast!
So what else is new? These past few weeks I have been having a lot of trouble with my stuff. For example, my tire for my bicycle—I had yet another flat, and when I peeled it off of the rim for the last time, I stripped it clean, away from the bead, so It wasn't even fixable, so I spent 60 bucks at the bike shop to go and get it replaced. Saturday night as we were riding home all of the sudden my bike seat snapped off of the post, and when I went to explore why I almost died. The bolt that held it onto the post had snapped in half. So I rode home standing up the whole way. And then also on Saturday I discovered a hole in the side of my second pair of shoes, this time not in the sole of them, but a rip down the side of the leather right next to the sole. So that was fun. So my seat post I am going to have to replace, I fixed it for now, but I will need a real fix soon, but it is going to cost me like 40 bucks at least. I want to buy a good one if I end up replacing it! Finally as I was playing Pday basketball an unnamed Elder (whom I have been serving with for the past two weeks) punched me in the face on accident and it chipped my tooth! This week has been awesome!!! Don’t worry—I am in good spirits and I will call and check up on my tooth.
Thanks for getting me the new shoes; I am going to need them with the rainy season coming up. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead of me, and I hope to be a great trainer for my new companion. He is going to be a stud I bet.
Love ya,
Elder Ellsworth
