"He asked if we wanted to make pizzas"

Dear Family and Friends,

So we had transfers!!!! guess what i got transferred! :(  the day we had a baptism i got moved to South jordan. i was able to get permission to come back but still. i had just gotten that area going and they moved me. To a place where i have no investigators. im second transfer training and they made me district leader. SOO ive been a little stressed lately. The elder im with Elder Lila he is from albania, he speaks pretty good english. he can communicate but he is not fluent. He doesnt really know where he is going or who anyone is so im basically white washing again. and i have sisters in my area and they white washed and sister crandell is training. so they are freaking out and are calling me all the time for help and i can only do so much because they are sisters. So the first few days have been really interesting and i dont like it. hopefully ill be able to survive this 8 week transfer because i dont see anyway to get out of being district leader anytime soon.

Well i really enjoyed the world wide broadcast that we had yesterday. I had a lot of impressions come to my mind and a lot of things that i can do better to help out the ward councils. Especially here in south jordan where i am now we have 95% endowed members. So we need the help of the members. i do like starting fresh because i was able to set an expectation for what the bishops and the ward councils should help me with. so im excited for this area. My son Elder Dresen is Training in that area. so i hope he is prepared because i left some great potentials to be baptized.

Well last week on Tuesday we went to tenny's pizza and we ordered like 12 pizzas as a district. poor guy was the only one there. And he had a lot of other pizza orders he had to get out. so he asked if we wanted to make pizzas. and we said sure and made everyone pizza. i dont think it was legal but no one saw and no one complained and we got all the pizzas done in like 15 minutes. It was so much fun. i pulled the pizzas out of the oven and sliced them. handed them to Elder Kulu and he boxed them. other guys made the pizzas.

Well im surviving. i have district meeting planned for tomorrow. its a lot of pressure watching over other missionaries. But also it was cool to feel the instant love i had for my district before i even met them. i feel kinda like a father to them. And it was a very humbling experience to try and receive revelation for them. I truely believe that i did recieve revelation and i know what will help them. It was a cool lesson that i learned about priesthood keys and stewardship.

Well time to go.

With Love Elder Salmon
