Week 16

I am doing good. My new area is super cool, I am in Baton Rouge and the part I am in is called Tiger Bend and my word is large. My new comp is a way cool kid from Ohio, he has been out for almost two years and he's going home next transfer so I am killing him off. (which means I will be his last comp). At first I was mad about leaving Marksville because the work there was looking up and I was loving the people there. But then I came to the realize that it is all in the Lord's hands and He can't mess up! That and the sister missionaries that are up here are the best so it all ok.

Alright so first off I did leave my last area Wednesday morning at 7:30-ish  but, it was sad to leave my first place. We had done a lot of good, also it was hard to leave all of the good food that was in the fridge we had about two racks of ribs in there :( and a ton of other food like ice-cream and just good stuff but it all went to a good cause (the sister missionaries). Oh that and I do miss the people a ton for sure. but we drove down to Baton Rouge in the morning to the stake center there to see where I would be going, once I got there I was told to put my crap in that car and my new home is in Tiger Bend, and I was like ok. So ya I am here in Baton Rouge, Tiger Bend which is in the Baton Rouge 3rd ward and we share the ward with two sets of awesome sister missionaries.  Anyway I am now on a bike which is awesome and I mean it, ( I think).  (Ryan told me his butt was sore) My new comp is Elder Ralph and he's is the best, he follows the rules and works hard which is the best because I don't think I  am ready to deal with a careless comp yet! Anyway we have a big apartment with two bathroom's which is so nice because I don't have to share. Since I have been here I have changed my eating plans a ton Elder Ralph has a smoothie ever morning and he can't eat dairy nor soy and he eats super healthy, which is that best, so I also have a smoothie ever morning and sometimes for dinner and I put a ton of spinach, strawberry's, pineapple, banana's, protein powder. chia seeds, flax seeds, and a whole ton of almond milk, it's real good. No junk food, no sugar, and it's all good. but other then that life is good I love it here in LA. 

So  the other day I finished studying Christlike attributes and holy cow I have a long way to go, before I will be ready to meet my maker. They are all so good but faith, hope and charity are most importation because without those three you are nothing see ( Moroni 7:45-47). but ya the gospel is the bast and it the only way. 

Love you all so much and I wish you all the very best. 

Love Elder Gordon
