Transfers and all that - Jack's email from Alaska

Hey everyone! This was another really good week. If you read my email last week, my comp and I were pretty much babysitting another elder. We had got rid of him on wednesday which was pretty good for us. We were not nearly as stressed as we were last week with him haha. Anyways this week was transfer week. We got news and I will be transferring to the fairbanks ysa and 2nd ward. Double covering, I was also assigned as a zone leader so that should be good. I am going to miss elder horne so much he is like a brother to me. We been through highs and lows and he has helped me in so many ways. But let's get into the highlights of this week.

Highlights:

- I gave a father's day talk and the mission president showed up to it 

- Tyler is still working with us even tho we have some bumps in the road 

- we had little time to go finding but still somehow found people this week. 

Low lights:

- said bye to the members of the girdwood branch, I'll miss that branch a lot 

- gonna miss my awesome companion

Anyways thats pretty much it from me. It was a good week and i have just loved the area I've been in 

Spiritual thought: Matthew 14 

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

I like this because Peter only sunk because he lost his faith and got scared. Sometimes we are nervous or afraid because we are lacking faith. Faith is what leads to miracles.
