Week 20: Oh Kentucky...

Hey family,



I'll start off with the biggest news. I'm leaving Murfreesboro. And tomorrow morning I'll be heading up to Bowling Green Kentucky. And I'm pretty excited for that. From what I've heard we will be on bikes a lot so I'm very pumped for that. I have loved this area and the investigators and members that I've been able to work with. It's always gonna have a special place in my heart. But now I'm shoving all my stuff into my luggage and getting ready to peace out. My new companion will be Elder Sattearthwaite.  And all that I've heart about him is that he is literally a genius. So that's exciting! 

Elder Hollands visit was incredible. The time that I got to spend with him will never be forgotten, also just invade y'all were wondering he has really soft hands😂. But when we spoke to us he spoke with love power and authority. He truly is an apostle of the Lord. He spoke to us for 2 hours straight. And something that I will never forget that he said was, " don't you ever ever pass judgement on who needs the gospel and who doesnt", he went on to say every time you walk past someone silently you are judging them, and they are missing put on the best opportunity ever. 



It sounds like you guys have been really busy back home and that's good to hear. I'll send some pictures of our last district meeting and when we went bowling today. I'm defiantly gonna miss Elder Jorgensen he is a really good guy. I miss all of you guys. But I wont say I miss you a lot, because time is just flying by. Its almost April already and we get to skype in May. So yall better have some good questions for me😂 Mom your story was very good and also very true. There is a story in the New testament where Christ is ridiculed for eating dinner with publicans  and and sinners. And he responded with something like the whole need not a physician. He came to heal the sick and provide a way for us have eternal life. He didn't come to tell us who to judge and who to treat poorly. 

That's honestly about it for me

Love Elder Swanton
