This email is going to be very short and unlike the others,
but I will be able to email with people who might ask questions throughout the
day. This week was hard. It was another one of those weeks where
nothing happened. It was a lull and
everything we planned got cancelled. We got really exhausted from doing so much
finding.
We also did a ton - and I mean a ton - of service for the
mission’s housing group. We loaded and
unloaded a lot of trailers will all of the furniture and stuff a new missionary
apartment needs. So, instead of writing
a day-by-day description, which would waste both your time and mine, (lol) I
will just share the high and the low points of my week.
High point of the
Week: Transfers!!!!
Saturday: We got our transfer calls and I am being
transferred to the Midvale Ward - back out to the boonies! I’ll be back in the middle of nowhere, again
– and I’m so excited! My new companion
will be Elder Bangerter, one of my favorite missionaries Honestly, he is one of
my favorite people. We get along so well and he’s good at basketball and is
only an inch shorter than me. I’m so excited!!!
The Midvale area covers the Tahono O’odham Reservation. Look
it up, it’s huge. The Midvale Ward’s geographic footprint is the second largest
in America. It is only slightly bigger
than the Lordsburg area, but has way less people. We have a brand new Toyota Tacoma to
drive. The area has two wards. The Midvale Ward meets in south Tucson and
has about 70 people and the branch on the reservation has about 10 active
members.
There is a chance that I might be in Midvale until next
July. If the Mission President is
keeping Elder Thompson here so long, (this transfer makes 7.5 months for him in
Campbell) I could be there until July.
Low point of the Week: Transfers!
Having to say goodbye to K__ so abruptly was the low point
of my week. He didn’t take it too well. He was so sad that I had to leave. We took some pictures and talked about
walleye fishing. After that, we had to split ways, but I have his phone number,
so that’s good. We still need to get
those baptism pictures to him!

Anyways, since this is such a short email I’ll leave you
with my testimony. I know that God lives. I know this church is
true and I know how important families really are and how they can be together
forever. I’ve been thinking of Finley lately
and I still miss him. The sting is gone, but the pain of missing him is still prevalent.
He is in good hands, I know it with all my heart.
Mom, Dad, others
I love you
Enjoy your trip and be safe!!!!
Elder Dickinson
