Shawn and mission thoughts

So I haven't written in a while sorry about that. My thoughts today go to Shawn. He has a horrible companion right now. He does not want to work whatsoever and really just wants to mess around and go to things such as movies. I am really worried about Shawn because in his last letter he sounded like he was ready to give up and stop fighting him.

I am glad that I never really had this problem on my mission. I for the most part had really good companions. My second comp was a little lazy and we sometimes would walk to the store instead of knocking doors or something like that but it really wasn't that bad. I mean my comps weren't perfect, sometimes we spent a little too much time a members' houses or other things we could have improved on but no matter who I was with we went out and worked. There were those disobedient missionaries in the mission. I think for the most part my mission was pretty good. We only had a few problems but the were a few scandals. One interesting thing though, the Spanish missionaries were a lot more likely to be more obedient and hard-working than the English missionaries. It's just how things were. I might've seen more if I was in English work.

Mom talked to Shawn's new mission president today so hopefully things will work.

Update: Apparently Shawn got transferred. Yeah!

At least Shawn never had a comp stand over his bed with a knife.(yes that happened to me) He'll be better off in the long run....Patience is a virture that will always come in handy, trust me.

Yikes Rach, that's why you are much stronger then me. Tim, I'm glad you wrote something, I was wondering if I should mention it in my blog.

Tim, I had a friend who just got home who told me she was put with some one because she was the only one old enough to not be scarred by it and the only one physically strong enough to not get hurt (literally!) by the companion. Guess that was not the best! Sam said, like you, most of his were tolerable, if not good.

So glad Shawn got transferred. His letter was sad.

Nicholle, you are stronger than you think.
