Well I am back again in the mission field! It's so crazy how I'm back, it's still hard to believe. Things have been going awesome! I was put in a trio companionship with The Zone Leaders in Laramie, Elder Clemente and Elder Allen. They are good missionaries, and I'm excited to be in three different YSA wards that we cover. It is really cool to connect with people my own age. Well we have taught a lot of lessons so far, even though it's only been 2 days.... I feel like it's been a lot longer than that!
Let's start with Saturday, my flight was awesome, and hard at the same time. I feel like it is a lot harder saying bye to you guys at the airport than at the MTC. I don't know why but it seemed that way. I was upgraded to first-class once again! So I had lots of leg room, and they gave us a lot of drinks and snacks. That made the plane ride a little easier. I got to the Denver Airport and found the AP's who were waiting to pick me up. It was awesome to see them again. They drove to the mission office, then straight to Casper where the ZL's picked me up to go to Laramie. It was such a quick turn around. We were teaching lessons that night! I didn't even unpack anything until 9:30, so I still haven't unpacked everything. I'll try to finish that up today.
On Sunday we attend all three YSA wards at the institute building, so I had three different Sacrament Meetings. It was an awesome experience to think so much about the Savior that day. It really helped me a lot. Having 7 hours of church was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me this week. I had so much time to think and study, it was absolutely incredible! So later that night we had dinner with some members, and we talked a lot about there missions they just got back from. It was really cool to see how inspiring returned missionaries can be! So after dinner we taught a man who is on date named Ugo. He's from Nigeria and he's honestly such a cool guy! He agreed with everything we taught, and seems really inspired and motivated to get baptized. So I can't wait for that!
Well our apartment is pretty nice. It has nice tall ceilings and I have a mattress to sleep on the floor. It's been a bit rough without a pillow though....... but I'm getting one today so that will be such a blessing! Well my couple days has been awesome! It has been rough, don't get me wrong, but I've noticed that through prayer and looking for answers in the scriptures, God has manifested His love towards me, and I couldn't be more grateful for Him. I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!
Love Elder Bailey
