This week has been good. Elder Mata is a really fun awesome dude. He's
at the end of his mission and its a little hard to motivate him but
I'm just trying to keep my cool and be loving and encourage him to
work with me. Medford zone is the most struggling zone in the mission
right now. We have not been performing very well so this transfer we
are working hard on our goals to change that.
Despite the fact that I am in medford now we do not get to go to the
temple more often. We still only get one temple trip every six months
or a quarter depending on when our mission President says we can go.
We had a temple trip this Saturday though and that was amazing. I
always enjoy our temple visits and always come out feeling rejuvenated
and ready to work. Having that opportunity is amazing.
I am in Medford 8th ward and also cover the YSA ward. It's kind of
thought to do both because the YSA work here is really slow but a lot
of our focus ends up getting directed toward 8th ward. We do share the
ward with another set of Elders. Elder Hafen and Elder Nelson are
their names and they are great guys. Both of them are hard workers and
its really cool to serve around them.
Considering that Elder Mata is somewhat hard to get out of the
apartment I have not met many of our investigators so this week that's
one of my goals is to meet them all. I did meet one named Kirk. He is
a great guy. We went over to his house and he told us that he wanted
to quit smoking, drinking, and coffee and wanted to start coming to
church. He told us he wanted to quit those things and he hasn't even
been taught the Word of Wisdom.
Anyway I am way excited for this area. President Russell called me the
other day and told me he was really counting on me to make some stuff
happen here besides chilling. So I'm feeling some pressure. Well have
a great week and love you all!!

I'm going to Medford 8th Ward and will also be covering the Medford
YSA. My companion is Elder Mata who is famous for sleeping in until
3:00 one time... I'm a bit worried and this is his last transfer. I'm
in Klamath Falls right now and will leave for Medford in about an
hour.
