Staying in Fort Lauderdale

Dear Friends and Family:

I wanted to include a lot this week, because I didn't email last week, but there's someone waiting for the computer. Sorry!

The news: I stayed and trained. Elder Kwon left. This means that I will be in Fort Lauderdale east for the next three months, over Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years.

My new companion and trainee - Elder Hunt - is amazing! He already teaches better than I do after a year in my mission, and he has an incredibly strong testimony. He and I have been getting along really well, through our ups and downs in the area. And he's also working diligently to improve his Creole.

This week an unfortunate thing happened with our investigators. All of them decided to drop off of the map or lose their fire to be baptized at the same time. Elder Hunt is taking the low point like a champ, and we are both resolved to find many, many amazing miracles this next week as we work hard and apply the training we will receive in zone conference.

We are in particular working to improve by being more personable together, and by improving our baptismal invite so that those we talk to have the best possible opportunity to feel and accept the spirit in their lives.

Sorry I don't have more time to email, especially after last week.

Thanks,

Elder Slade
