1 Stayed, 3 Out

 


Some crazy stuff just went down at transfers this time around and I definitely did not call it. My bet was that both companionships in Cullman would stay, no changes made at all, but BOY was I wrong. I actually am the only one staying. Elder Lee is going down South to Fairhope, Elder Burbidge is going to Talladega, and Elder Hays is only going 40 minutes away to East Limestone (he's still in my district). But wait, here's the kicker that sucks rocks; they are not putting another companionship in Cullman again so it just going to be my comp and I. Not going to lie, not super stoked with that, I've been around another compansionship nearby basically my whole mission and now I'm 40 minutes away from everybody with just one random dude to keep me company. I think I'll be fine though, Elder Ryser (my new companion) actually went to my Highschool and I've talked to him a few times on the mission. He seems really cool, I think we'll do great. Very sporty type of guy and so am I. Now, with there being no other companionship in Cullman, that means I'm going to have to take on the other Cullman Elder's old work that they were doing. This is very nice actually because we'll be busier than ever. It definitely is sad to see my trainee go elsewhere and the other Elders, we really had a bond and got along amazingly, but it's for the best I'd assume. 

 Onto other things going, we found 2 new people to teach this week! Yeah kinda crazy, doesn't happen like that very often. These two were found through Facebook by just sliding into DMs and they look promising! Basically the go-to phrase nowadays is to ask them if they've heard of what our beliefs are, and if they haven't, we ask if they want to. BOOM, easy knockdown everytime.. well at least the 4 or 5 times I've tried it. We had a bit of a slump recently when it came to teaching lessons. That's mostly due to the fact that we stopped teaching 4 people in the last 2 weeks since they were leaving us on read with no care in the world of what we have to say whatsoever. It really do be like that sometimes. 
 Other than that, nothing really noteworthy happened. A lot of calling random numbers in our books to see if they have any desire in hearing our shpeel. Pretty soon here we should be getting Instagram, so if you want some nice Jesus messages on your feed on their, drop a follow @jacksonqbatman

I'll let y'all know how the new comp goes, this is going to be a weird next couple of weeks. 

Love y'all, 
Elder Jackson Quincy Batman 🦇
