So, I am no longer the taller one in my companionship :) I am companions with an American  :) Elder Ball from Layton, Utah. :) He is amazing :) This week I have learned that Heavenly Father is in control and wants me to learn a lot more than I can from having success by giving me trials. I thought this new transfer was going to be amazing and just harvest my hard work and get 5 baptisms. Well, due to things that I could not control. All 5 baptisms are pushed back........ I know they will get baptized, but I have no idea when. They all have just little things that they need to change. But even though my whole world came crashing down because of the baptisms being pushed back, I still have a smile on my face :) I am happy in my circumstances :) Like President Uchtdorf said in conference :) I also really like Elder Bednar's talk about how "loads" in a person's life can save them. The load of missionary work gave me and is giving me that traction to come back to the road when I start to drift. Missionary work is not only saving other people but saving me. I realized that I need that load in my life and there was no other way I could get out unless I came here and filled up my load. Conference answered my prayers.  I loved it. It went by so fast. :) I am so happy :) I have no idea why sometimes :) 
I am so happy to have an American companion :) Anyway I love you all :) Love Elder Bigelow :)
