Everyone:
Well, this week has been a bit different. Elder Bird is going to be flying home tomorrow for some surgery and recuperation time, so I'll probably be stuck in a trio with my district leader and his companion for the last couple weeks of this transfer. This has been a very difficult time for Elder Bird, and he's kind of worried about being able to come back to the mission after his surgery, so if you could keep him in your prayers some, that would be good.
As for our week, it wasn't all that eventful other than that news. On Thursday we had our normal planning and Elder Bird had his doctor's appointment where he found out he needed surgery. Since then he's pretty much been ordered to take it easy, so we haven't been getting a whole lot of missionary work done.
On Friday, we had our district meeting, and Elder Bird rested, pretty much. On Saturday, Elder Brixius and I did some tracting in our area while Elder Monita kept an eye on Elder Bird, so that we could actually have some work done in our area this week. We also stopped by with a couple members to talk with them about inviting people to the fireside in a couple weeks.
On Sunday, we had church as normal, and then we had dinner with the Langs, who told us about a couple people they knew that may be ready to be taught soon, which was exciting news for us. On Monday we had our normal preparation day, except that we couldn't e-mail because of the holiday.
Today, we've been preparing for Elder Bird to go home. He'll be flying out tomorrow morning, and hopefully coming back as soon as he's recovered from his surgery. So, this next week should be interesting. While it does mean I'll be getting back to a normal work schedule, I must admit I'm sorry to have to see Elder Bird go this way. There's not much reason to think that he won't be back, but it's still kind of a sad time.
