Well, I have bad news
for you. We only get to Skype if we are a missionary from outside the US.
But hey, I will still get to call!
We just found out who
is staying and who is going this morning and I will be staying here in SDSU for
Christmas! I am so glad I am staying! I am loving this ward and having a ton of
fun! However, we found out that Elder Nichols is being transferred. So we
will only spend 1 transfer together. I have loved all of my companions,
but I might have to say that Elder Nichols has been my favorite... I will
really miss him. But, the Lord has need of him elsewhere and I am sure
that my next companion will be great as well.

With us being in a YSA
ward on campus at SDSU we actually struggled to find a Dinner for Thanksgiving
because all the students go home for the Holidays. Luckily our President
Clayton asked if everyone in our zone had a dinner and he could help us find
one which entailed sending an email specifically for us the YSA missionaries to
the Stake President which got forwarded to our Bishopric which resulted in an
almost offended call from our amazing 1st counselor demanding that we come over
for Thanksgiving. Our ward takes care of us... :)
We have a Baptism
coming up on Saturday! WOOOT! Her name is AnaKaren and she grew up going to
church with her dad in the Spanish branch but stopped going as a teenager.
EVERYONE thought she was already baptized but she confessed that she
never was a few months ago. The reason everyone thought she was baptized was
because she knows the doctrine better than most everyone else! It is a little
ridiculous trying to think of things to teach her. Her biggest fear was asking
her family even though she knew they would be supportive but after she asked
she told us, "Now that I have told my family, nothing is going to stop me
from being baptized." She is so awesome! We got a curve ball thrown
at us though on Sunday when she told us she wanted the entire service to be
done in Spanish!... But all will be just fine.
But yeah, that is
basically all for me... I am excited to get that Christmas tree and be able to
set it up with my new companion! I love you SO much!
Love,
Elder Ethan John Rowbury
