My Last Moves with Elder Crittenden.

Here is a snippet from Elder Meyer's email on April 14th 2014:

I bet you are all wondering where I will be for my last transfer! I am staying in Galway for my last moves! I will be finishing my mission here. I am so excited. Unfortunately, Elder Wightman is leaving and going to Dublin in an area they call Bray and he is going to be the District Leader there. So I will be getting a new companion, the one who is going to 'kill me off'! His name is Elder Crittenden and he is coming from Scotland. I don't know much about him yet, but other missionaries say that he is great. 

Here is a snippet from Elder Meyer's email on April 21st 2014:

So my week....It has been a week of travel, settling in and preparing for the transfer but we did however get to see our investigators and my new companion Elder Crittenden was able to meet them and get to know them. On wednesday last week Elder Wightman and I travelled to Dublin and I was there for a couple of hours. I met Elder Crittenden there and we took a train to Limerick where we stayed the night at the zone leaders flat and then on Thursday we took a bus to Galway. But Elder Crittenden is from Hoytsville, Utah. He is nice. He is very good with people. He is very loving. I love him, he is great. I am excited to work with him for my last moves. 

I dont have to pack my bags!

Here is a snippet from Elder Meyer's email sent March 4th 2014:

Yes it was moves call last night and well the verdict is that me and Elder Wightman are staying together in Galway. We are going to be the only elders in galway now as 2 elders are both leaving. This area was a 4 man flat area but not anymore as it's going to be 2 of us now. And me and Elder Wightman have the whole of Galway now to ourselves... well we have the senior couple the Weber's which we can use them and their car. But our car is being taken off us too so we will be walking everywhere and taking the buses. There is going to be another senior couple coming to Ireland and they will be having our car. So yeah it was a shock that it will only be me and Elder Wightman in the area not 4 of us! But it should be a good moves, we are going to be very busy as we will be picking up the other Elders investigators so we are going to be working with a lot more people now. so it should be a very busy transfer which is then going to go by really fast as when you are busy time goes by so quickly!

MOVES CALL!

We got our moves call last night! And I am staying here in Galway. I wonder if I will be staying here for much longer. Who knows. Maybe I will stay here for the rest of my mission. I will be getting a new companion as Elder McDonald will be leaving. He is going back up to Belfast in an area called Holywood. He is going to be the District Leader up there.

My new companion will be Elder Wightman. I have met him before briefly, so it should be good. Can you believe that I only have three more moves left. I wonder what will happen throughout the rest of my mission! I can't believe how quick it has gone. I will be back before I know it. I will try to do my best and do all that I can do for the rest of my mission.

Elder Meyer is moving to... GALWAY, IRELAND.

I bet you are all wondering what happened with moves for me!

Well I am leaving... and I will be going to Galway, Ireland. I think its on the west side of Ireland. It is funny because my new companion is Elder McDonald. He is in my group, and he was my MTC companion. So that will be fun to be with him again. I am excited to go to Galway too, it should be a fun. 

Will I Stay? Will I Go?

I am loving it here in Terenure! We have moves call next Sunday so next Monday I will be letting you know either if I will be leaving or staying in Terenure. I think one of us will be moving because we have been together for 3 moves now.. so I think one of us will be leaving which is going to be sad! I have loved serving with Elder Rollins. He is a great missionary, I love him and we have gained such a great friendship with each other. I will miss his companionship!

Where in the World...?

Well I am emailing you from Dublin!

We had our moves call and I am staying in Terenure with Elder Rollins.

We are together again which is good! I am happy that I am staying. I will be able to get to know the members a wee bit more. So we are both happy that we are both staying together we already know each other and we will be able to go out and continue to do our best in this area.

I am grateful that the lord still wants me here in Terenure. Everything is going well, I am happy with everything. It is going to a great moves! We are going to see some success! I can feel it.

Promoted to Senior?

So I know you are all wondering what happened with moves call...

Well, I will be staying with Elder Rollins in Terenure. I am going to be the Senior Companion. (A senior companian is responsible for making the decisions prompted by the Holy Spirit regarding the companionship). I am happy about that as I love Elder Rollins. He is great to be around and He has such a great personality. I love him.

Sometimes I was a little jealous that Elder Gill, my other companion in our 'three-way' companionship, gets to go home. But then I realise that it will be my turn soon. That time will eventually come and I need to focus on my mission and not get distracted. And by doing this, I will continue to love my mission and love the people here in the Scotland and Ireland mission.

It is sometimes weird being back in a two-some again. It seemed like even though it wasn't for very long, I forgot what it was like. But it will be alright. I am with someone that I like and we get along well with each other.

So here's to another great moves with Elder Rollins.

I will be "Killing Him Off"

I know that you are all wondering what has happened with moves call this week...

Well, I am staying in this area. My companion Elder O'Bagy is staying with me for the last transfer of his mission. I will be "killing him off"... as they say in the mission field. This just means he will be finishing his life here in the mission and head back home to America at the end of this transfer. Elder O'Bagy will be the first companion I serve with for a total of 3 transfers. I am really happy about this decision that Heavenly Father has made. It is the right thing for us. Elder O'Bagy is so so so so happy also. He loves this area and loves me as a companion  So all in all, we are pretty excited for the next transfer together.
