6/24

This week has been good. We had a family home evening at our church building for 2 of our inv and their less-active parents. If was all about how families can be together forever and several families from the ward showed up to support us. We were able to teach Martin several times this week and we found out that he is not married to his girlfriend who he is living with. We talked about marriage with them and they are praying to know if they need to get married. Martin also came to church on sunday along with Maria, Adan, and Omar, all of which are on date to be baptized in July.

Transfers are coming this week and it looks like I will be getting moved. I am going to miss many members and investigators here. The Elders Quorum Pres came up to me on sunday and gave me a gift saying he wanted to give me something before I got tranfered. Then as I was greeting people before church a sister in the ward told me that when I come back to visit I can stay in her basement if I dont have a place to stay and for as long as I want. The ward is full of great people and I will miss them all, but we will find out tomorrow if I am actually leaving.

We got a call from our Zone Leaders last night saying that in preparation for the new mission all the cars in the central mission need to be turned in on tues at 12pm. They then tried to commit me to have my car at the mission office by 12pm tomorrow, I replied "Nope". They were shocked and said Elder Jolly the Lord has asked you to turn in your car on tues at 12pm will you do it. I really dont like the elder who was talking to me so I said "Elder .... dont pull that card on me. I am sure President Miller did not recieve inspiration for the 12 o clock time to turn in the cars. I am sure the Lord just wants His cars back tomorrow. I have district meeting until 11:45 and then I will make my way to the mission office but i cannot promise I will be there by 12. He was frustrated but hey thats life. It will be nice though to lose our car because well we nearly died the other day while driving it. We were at a light turning right and the light turned green so I preceded to turn. A car taveling towards us ran the red light trying to turn left and slammed into the car right next to us. I jumped when I saw the car next to me start spinning. If the car next to me wouldnt have been there the car would have nailed my door and it would have hurt. On that note the Zone Leaders car got smashed up good when I man feel asleep at the wheel and ran a stop sign slamming into the back of their car. Good experiences.

Love

Elder Jolly
