He has been made District Leader AND he has a new companion. Elder Kresge was transferred and Elder Hall, from Calgary, Alberta is Jeff's brand-spankin' new companion!
It looks like he got to see every one of his former companions at transfers (except E. Peterson) - what a fun day for all of these guys!
He and E. Kresge had a baptism on Easter weekend, where, as district leader, Jeff was the one doing the baptismal interview:
"My district leader responsibilities are going good. I was actually able to conduct my first baptismal interview this week and that was really really cool!"
I'll add a couple of other little notes he's sent me over the past few weeks -
"We taught a family in a super 8 hotel room. Their are waiting to get into their new place and the plumber hit the water main and flooded the house so their landlord put them in the hotel for the time being. So we taught them in a hotel room!"
"On monday night we were with a family for dinner and FHE well for the closing song we sang, Smelly Cat. Yes the one from friends! It was freaking hilarious!!!"
"Oh it was another great bingo day. We had lunch with the little old ladies and they were all so excited to see both of us back there. After lunch and before bingo we met the coolest old lady. Her name is Millie, she is 102 years old and turns 103 in June. She was born the same the titanic sank. She was a burlesque dancer. She was awesome!! She gave us her address and told us that the coffee pot is always on and to come over anytime to talk and have some coffee. She had her license until she was 98 and she was TICKED when they took it away. She did say though that she didn't want to hurt people. Oh good old Millie!!"
"A 92 year old lady didn't believe me that I would do her dishes and when i started to stand up she pushed me back down and said well if you really want to do service you can wash my feet. So I said well if that is what you need done I'll do it - but she was just kidding. She is a less active only due to this darn cold weather. she is so so so freaking funny. She cracks some of the funniest jokes I have ever heard."
Jeff is doing a lot of good work in Wisconsin. I hear from members back there on a regular basis about how awesome he is and how much they appreciate him. He's been pretty much in the same area for a year, so the members in Madison/Mt. Horeb know him pretty well - well enough that they threw him a One-Year-hump-day ice cream "celebration" this past week - It all looks pretty yummy, doesn't it??
Thank you to everyone in Madison and Mt. Horeb for taking such good care of Jeffy...er...Elder Steiner this past year!!!
I'm sure Jeff would love to hear from you - snail mail or email, he loves it all!
