Hello my beloved friends and family!
I am in quite the situation now and much has changed since I last emailed! I am now serving in the Battle Creek 2 area. I am also now training a new missionary! His name is Elder Whitesides.

The baptism on Saturday happened! It went great! The Spirit was there and I was super stressed out all day trying to make sure everything was prepared, but in the end it was a beautiful service, and Rob is now a member of the church and is set on being diligent and serving to the best of his ability. I know he will do great things, and he’s made big changes in his life and will continue to do so. Sad to be leaving, but I’ll be returning to visit eventually! A little over a year from now, if all goes well 😉

Monday came and I rode the transfer van most of the day, and met Elder Johnson, my temporary companion, in Kalamazoo, and we drove to Battle Creek. Turns out my new area is Battle Creek, NOT Kalamazoo! I was misinformed and didn’t find out until the day came! Elder Johnson and I served here in BC until Thursday, when we went to Lansing to pick up our trainees! I am so excited and happy to be training! I have actually been praying to whitewash train for a while and now it’s here! It’s been difficult, and stressful, not knowing the area and training a brand new missionary, but things are going well, and this ward is super helpful. We are in a very nice apartment as well and I’m happy, and I think Elder Whitesides is as well. Another set of Elder live right across the street from me, one of which was in my district in the MTC! All three of us have our 1 year anniversaries this Friday! It’s already been a year!

Thank you all for all the love and support you have given me so far! I really do love you all! Don’t look at the safety index for Battle Creek! Seriously. I don’t mean to be selfish but please pray for me and my companion to find those who are prepared, and teach them by the Spirit.

Love,
Elder Breinholt
