Family!! DAD HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! I LOVE YOU!! You are the best dad anyone could ever ask for! I love you all so much and pray for you!! I am soo happy to be here and man life is good :) So, I got crazy news! The transfer just ended and we found out what is happening this passed saturday! My companion is going home because he finished his two years so I knew I was getting a new companion, and turns out it's going to be a BRAND NEW companion. I am training a greenie! His name is Elder Moffit, I AM SO NERVOUS! It takes 2 transfers to finish training! I just barely finished those 2 transfers! And then I got a call from President and he asked me to train! AHH!! I don't even know spanish yet! I am staying here in Abilene and am still over the Spanish Branch and the English Ward. But now I get to help a greenie learn what I am still learning!! STERLING HELP ME!! haha But really If i could, I would love to ask for your prayers because I really need help learning this language, I am struggling because I just don't have many chances to practice it! It won't stick.. So I ask for your prayers to be able to help this new missionary because I really want to work as hard as I can and help him set the tone for his mission! Thank you so much! Other than that the work is going along. Hasn't been great this week, but We worked hard so all is well. We set a baptismal date with Another member of the Juarez family! There are 3 daughters and we got the 3rd one to commit to July 13th! We just need to get the Dad. Our English work is coming along, We have spent alot of focus on this spanish branch and I feel bad about that, so we need to find a balance for both and be able to work both areas and help each area to grow. It 2 totally different circumstances with each one, so it's very different, but It's definitely fun and challenging. I love it though. I love being out here, I love that Michael is out here doing the same thing too! He's on a plane to Tonga right now! Crazy!!! Hahaha what a flippin stud! I am so glad I have all you brothers and brother in laws and Dad as my examples out here! I am so blessed because of that and I seriously think about what you guys would do in certain situations or how you would handle things and it helps! Obviously I ask the Lord to know what to do, but alot of times he directs me to think of your examples. So i Thank you for that :) Family I LOVE YOU!! I am so grateful for you and I can't believe I am out here, but I love It!! Please send my love to everyone! Love, Elder King :)
