Temporary Happiness -- September 10, 2014

Hello Everyone,

Well my second transfer is complete! I have to say this one was a lot funner then the last. I am really going to miss Elder Kleiman. He has taught me so much and we have had a lot of fun and will always have some good memories. I don't think we argued once in the last six weeks which is pretty impressive! It has been hard killing him off because It’s hard to think about home. But it made me realize how lucky I am to be a missionary!  

We have been sick this last week. It has not been fun being sick my first time away from home. It’s so hard because we want to go out and work but we don't want to make our investigators sick because then it will slow down the work. But we still managed to have a few lessons with some people when we were feeling up to it and over all still had a pretty good week. 

We went to the members, the Morgans, house this week for a bonfire. Bro. Morgan is an awesome guy!  He is a vet and he is the person that cuts our hair. He is actually really good at it (not as good as Makayla! ;) But we had a huge fire and we had a lot of our investigators there which was really fun and very productive for them!  

The biggest thing I learned from this last transfer is, to rely on the Gospel to bring us true happiness. I have always kept myself busy with hobbies all my life that have made me happy. Since I came on a mission, I never realized that those hobbies and activities that brought me happiness were only making me temporarily happy. When you give up everything and give your life to the Lord, that is when you learn to rely on the gospel to bring you a kind of happiness that you cannot find anywhere else.  

So.... I got a call from my mission President this last week with some big news. He asked me to be a trainer!! I am really nervous though. I just finished my own training last week and now I'm turning around and training a brand new missionary.. It’s a lot of pressure, but I hope I can pull it off. President told me he wants me to train him to have the same characteristics that I have because he wants more missionaries that are ready to work hard. I thought that was really cool! We will see how it goes, I guess! Pray for me so I don't mess this kid up! 

Thank you all for all the awesome support I enjoyed getting my packages this week they made me extra happy! I love you all and hope everyone the best! 

Keep The Faith, 

Elder Kaleb Bingham
