Week 58: Life in Cushing

Elder Tirrell and McMinn

Cushing, Oklahoma

I was a little surprised to hear that I was leaving Clinton but they brought in a Spanish elder and that is something that the area needs to help the Spanish group grow. Yeah, there is really nothing that is in Cushing. There is a lot of oil tanks but that is pretty much all. There are a lot of oil tanks but that is pretty much all. We are far from other missionaries too so we do P day on our own again here but this time there are no members who invite us over to hang out with them. We are 100% on our own so if you have any ideas on what we could do, please let me know because I might go crazy haha. It is a really rural area. There are a lot of ranchers in the ward actually too. It is a big outdoors community so I may try and find a spot that we can go fishing or do something like that.

My companion is Elder Tirrell from West Valley City Utah. He has been on his mission for 6 months. He is a REALLY hard worker so I am thankful for that! The ward here is not huge. There are about 80 active members. 

This week we have already found 2 new investigators and have quite a few return appointments from people that were taught by missionaries in the past. It is looking good out here.

It's been a good a week!
