Howdy! So it turns out that i'm actually in a town called Springfield in Tennessee, not whitehouse... We are in the whitehouse ward, but we are working right now to get a branch in springfield! we could maybe get a branch started in as little as a month.
The Ward Mission Leader here is Awesome, so i'm excited to work with him.
There is 7 missionaries in the whitehouse ward right now, which is pretty crazy because like 6 months ago they didn't have any in this ward.. They had what we called Traveling missionaries who would cover like 4 wards and they would just drive through and visit them all and stuff, but now this ward has 2 sets of Elder's and a tri-panionship of Hermana's... pretty crazy stuff!
Elder Tomlinson is a cool dude, he reminds me A lot of Elder Bethers, so it should be a good transfer and maybe more. He's a hard worker from Idaho, from a town called "Mud lake", he and his family own a trucking company, Oh and he was also a professional wake boarder... He's pretty intense, he's broken like 20 bones doing stuff.
Anyways... i have some really stupid news. President and Sister McKee got called home and will be leaving on July 1st... They were supposed to stay another year but i guess with all of Sister McKee's health issues the Brothren decided to send them home, Even though she's almost back to full health. They had the whole mission have a meeting yesterday that they told everyone about only 2 days before, where they pretty much tried to let us down easy. It was a rough meeting with a lot of emotions... There isn't many people i respect more than President McKee ... So it's really sad to see him go.
Our new mission president will be President Andersen, who's from Ogden Utah.
Well... I don't have much to say this week, so i guess i'll end there.
Love Ya'll!
-Elder Martin
