Hello Family!
It was so wonderful talking to my family last night! I wish we could have talked for another couple hours. That hour just seemed to tick by so quickly. I love you all so much.
The meeting we had this morning with President for the trainers was awesome. We received some wonderful guidance. I'm super excited to meet my new companion. I will pick him up from the mission office tomorrow at 2:30. After receiving our new companions, we are advised to come home, have some version of a weekly planning session with our new trainees so they can get an idea of what is going on with the people we are teaching and visiting, let them unpack, eat, go make one or two visits in the evening, and then get back home and go to bed early (9 o'clockish) because he will be exhausted due to the fact he will have been up since before 3AM.
Then, on day 2, after a good nights rest, we will be ready to go. So it's exciting. Very exciting. I know that this will be a huge blessing for this area to receive a Trainee. Miracles are right around the corner. And that is exciting. How do I know miracles are around the corner? Because Heavenly Father not only has people in this area who are ready to and need to hear the gospel, but Heavenly Father also has a brand new missionary in this area. And he will bless that missionary with every opportunity to become the amazing missionary that he needs to be. I can't wait! It's very exciting!
Well, like I predicted yesterday, it's a quick writing day for me. I love you all so much. Talk to ya again next week!
Your Missionary,
Elder Ostler
