Happy Father's Day

June 17, 2019

Here’s the latest from Jackson.  He didn’t write last week - he called on Wednesday which was p-day because of transfers. His companion’s two years were up and he went home on Thursday.  They will be roommates at BYU-I in the fall though.  Jackson called on Father’s Day.  He told us his new companion is from Washington state and has been out about 6 months.  Jackson will be finishing his mission in Simpsonville.  He has a baptism scheduled for this Saturday.  He gets home 5 weeks from Friday!  We’re pretty excited!  

Good short week this week. We had transfers on thursday and i said goodbye to elder powell. I then got my new companion whose name is elder bartholemew. Then we went home and shopped and I went over the area with him, then we went out and I took him to meet some of the members. Friday we did some weekly planning and then went knocking for a good bit, before we had a lesson with barbara and we had a great lesson with her. Taught a restoration and everything went really well. 

Saturday we went down to Laurens with a member and we visited some members down there. We were fed a steak by one member that was so rare it was cold still. The cow was still mooing. So we didnt finish that and got ridiculed by the member. After Laurens we had to pick up the other elders and take them to firestone because they popped a couple of tires. That took up a chunk of time. Later in the day we had a lesson with sharon. And that went really well. 
Sunday we had church and fatheres day pie. After church the other elders had a baptism so we went to that. Then we had a lesson with Gail, Ronnie, and Ashley and that went really well. Then we had dinner with Bishop and his familiy then that was it for the day. I also called dad that night.

That is all, Love you all,

Elder Bertoch
