New Area: Reed the District Leader

Here's Reed's latest email. Sounds like things are great. Click on the link list to see his new bike area.

Hey Fam. I have been having some good fun here in my new bike area. Everything is pretty slow at the moment, but we will get the wards excited about missionary work here soon enough. We are teaching them the lessons so that we can really bring the spirit into their home and they will start to trust that we do a good job. Also, it gives us the opportunity to give them commitments. The only thing with that is that we need to remember to follow up, because that is really important. Elder Alvey and I are doing really well together. He is a real goofball, which is great because so am I. We haven't really gotten to teach a formal lesson together yet, but I think that it will go fine. I think I already told you about this, but Pres. Gessel is about to leave as our Mission President. That will be a sad day, but I am excited to see what new things the next one brings in. Well, I can't think of anything else really to say, but I want you to know that I am doing great still and that the work is moving forward. Oh, there is one more thing. I had the opportunity yesterday to give a Preach My Gospel Training at our Zone Training. It was on unity. I am always glad to do those because i am able to learn so much more myself on the subject. Surprisingly some of the missionaries said that it was pretty good. I think my social skills are getting better so I bet that helped. Well, that is it.Keep it cool,Elder Carter
