Hello friends and Family
This week has been kinda hectic. On Monday I had my last day in Randolph NH. We went and visited a few potential investigators and less actives with the 3 hours after P-Day. It was a bit sad but I suppose that I am needed elsewhere.
On Tuesday. Our district all drove down to Manchester for exchange meetings where I said goodbye to Elder Cobb who is now home and Elder Hansen my companion. After that, I rode with Elder Urry and my previous companion Elder Palmer to Brewer Maine in the Brewer Elder's minivan aka the "mom missile". It took about 5 hours but we got panda express on the way so it was alright. You get some funny looks when you are a 19 year old dressed in a suit standing in the food court of a mall in Maine.
In Brewer I met my new companion Elder Nicholls. We said goodbye to Elder Urry and Palmer and drove another 2 hours from Brewer to Machias. I spent all of Tuesday in a car. Getting from Randolph to Machias.
Machias is a very small town on the coast of Maine. There are little to no mountains, which makes me laugh when the locals call foreigners "flatlanders". Machias has very few people. Most of them being lobstermen that fish all summer long and set traps in the ocean for lobster...because they are lobstermen.
The Branch in the area is small with about 35 for attendance. The members treat us very well and they are a huge help in the work that we do. Which is a huge blessing.
Our apartment is fairly spacious and right next to the chapel which is nice. It also has a washer and dryer with WiFi, so that's even better. My new companion, Elder Nicholls has been in this area for 18 weeks now and has been on his mission for about 7.5 months.
He seems pretty awesome and I am excited for the work that we can do in this area.
I hope that all of you are doing well. I will have more photos for you next week.
I know that as we make an effort to consecrate ourselves to the Service of the Lord that we will see repentance and growth in our lives and in others. I know that it is through the Savior that makes it all possible and I am glad for the opportunity to share that with others.
I am sorry that I don't have pictures yet. I will get them by next week.
Until Then,
-Elder Starr
