Well, Elder Statham went home because of his concussion and Elder Isaksen got ET'd to Covington because President didn't want two trio's in the mission. So Elder Ford and I are companions now and that is pretty weird and chill at the same time!!

What a week this was...man! Kaaawaaazy!!! |

| ER at 12:30am part 2 |
All these changes happened super quick too. We went to the ER again and spent New Years there!!! WHOOHOO!! Then on Wednesday we got a call early in the morning from President Clayton saying that Elder Statham would be flying home on Thursday.

He didn't give us further information about anyone else leaving so we just carried on with our daily shifts/exchanges with eachother until about 5pm when we got another call from President saying that Elder Isaksen would be ET'd to Covington. So you can imagine after a days notice, going from a four man to a two man is pretty weird. The apt stays pretty quiet these days...so that's that!!

| Goodbye to Elder Isaksen at Zone Conference |
On the bright side of things, UWG campus is opening up again today so we are going to finally we working with our old YSA peeps again!! A lot of them texted us last night saying that they were back in their rooms and ready to meet up again so hip hip hooray!!
A miracle that happened this week was on Wednesday while Elder Statham was packing his stuff. Elder Ford and I were trying to think of a place to tract and we picked one more towards the boonies. When we were driving up the street there were a ton of 'No Trespassing, Do Not Enter' type of signs but we just kept going. When we got to where we thought we should stop, we got out and realized we were without a doubt in unwanted territory but we went nonetheless. The very first house we approached had a lady sitting on the front porch that we didn't even see until about 15 feet away. Her name was Sarah and she was actually super welcoming to us and talked for quite a while. While we were explaining the Book of Mormon to her, the landlord for her house just happened to be driving by at that exact time (Satan's Workings) and asked us to leave. After the Landlord left, Sarah didn't bother and told us to continue explaining to her the Book. We gave her one and invited her to read it, she took it with great enthusiasm. We knew walking back to the car that we had come there just for her.

I just had to, lol |
Whether she uses her agency to learn more about this Gospel or not, I know we were instruments in the Lords hands specifically for her. It is such a privilege to be doing the Lord's work!! I'm going to Power and Authority of this calling when it is time to return home!! (luckily that isn't anytime soon, still got plenty of time)
Go FIGHT WIN!!!
Love yall
Elder Northrup
