Woohoo, a new area!
There have been a lot of changes these past couple of weeks! First of all, I got transferred to my next and probably last area - Cortez 2nd ward!
I haven't served in a city like this before. It's off the reservation, too! Everyone here is white! It's crazy!!
My companion is Elder Kelley. He's a goof and it's the best. He's also the district leader up here, so that's another new thing for me. I haven't served with a district leader since my first 2 transfers on the mission field, and the district leader's duties are completely different from what they were 2 years ago. There are a lot of ministering calls involved with being the district leader, and I'm going to be going on quite a few exchanges. I'm excited to visit Mancos again! It's pretty much guaranteed that I'm going to be going on an exchange there, and I want to say hi to a few people if the Elders down there will let me.
There's a Coldstone here that gives us missionaries free ice cream on Thursdays! And there's a Dairy Queen that gives us free 5 or 6 dollar lunches with Blizzards! I'm going to get fat!
That's all I got for now. 'Til next week!

The whole district went with us too, including Mancos missionaries. It was good getting to know everyone.
Elder Dittmer,
ReplyDeleteI love your positive twist on everything in your mission. It sounds like the work is going very well and that you're enjoying yourself. I am certain that the Lord is blessing you and your companion. Have a great time in Cortez!
