Well things are good. My new comp. Elder Malani (fresh from the MTC) is a rockstar. He's a great guy. I picked him up at the mission home on Wednesday and we've been working hard ever since. E. Malani is from Fiji, and at first I was nervous to be companions with another islander, but he is awesome. He's probably training me more than I'm training him, because I've already learned a lot from E. Malani. He is a very Christ-like person, and very service minded. The second day he was here, we had a lesson with Jose Vela, and we set a baptismal date for Jan. 30th 2010! Great things are going on here in the Marsh Creek ward. I can't believe I'm still here, but I'm excited to spend Christmas here. The biggest concern that I'm dealing with right now is the onslaught of doubts that are continually bombarding me! I have hope that one day I won't have any doubts, and am going to constantly fight them off, but it is not a good feeling to not be "anchored down". I feel like I'm not stable and firm in my faith.
