Hi All!

I have a new email address, new companion, new area, new address!

:D

So I got a call on Saturday night….I was being transferred. I didn’t realize how much stuff I had until I tried to cram it into three little suitcases! Ridiculoso! I fit most of it in. More than I should’ve taken I’m sure. Space bags are amazing!

Sunday night the C's came over to say goodbye. I love them so much! They said they are going to come and visit you. Remember when we went to Cove Fort and I got that little button toy that was wooden? It is in my room on the pink shelf thing where my hats from Grandpa are. Anyway, they made that I’m sure. I am excited for you to meet them! When the C's were there, President called. He calls for leadership positions on Sunday nights. Well, he asked me to whitewash an area and train. So…I get on the transfer bus on Monday morning, ride almost through the whole mission, and get off at the last stop. I also had to ask what whitewashing was. It is two brand new missionaries in the area so you only have the records from the previous missionaries to work off of. I am in A. Luckily I called the office today and got my address. I’ve been working in H. with Sister M. and will go to A. after I pick up my greenie. I’m freaking out a bit. I told Sister M. I think President is trying to kill me with the whole stress thing….haha…hm…..

We taught a lesson the other day with three adults listening. One was super Anti, and the other two were listening so well. I instantly loved the woman! Her name is I. I wish they were in my area! Shoot, I’d take them any day!

Apparently I’m walking into a baptism….next Saturday. A is 9. He is so so smart! I’m excited to help plan that and such. Also a couple of other kids are getting baptized in March. They are considered convert baptisms because they are part member families so we get to teach them. I’m pretty excited. The ward is apparently awesome. I’ve only met a few of the members but we have dinner with more of them tonight and pretty much this whole month. The Sisters that were here before were so awesome and they left things super organized.

Hmmm…This is pretty random….sorry…I don’t really know what to say. Plus, I had to do the whole new email thing so I don’t have a lot of time….

Sorry I didn’t tell you more of the crazy stuff….I thought you wouldn’t want to know. I’ll fix that by not telling Kelly either…haha. Just Kidding. A is in the city and it is suburbia. I see lots of airplanes flying by all the time because the Airport is just right there. The air is clean and I like that…..I am getting a gold Corolla…the mission car….no more fancy Malibu for me, but that is ok because it was a boat!

I have been using my seminary scriptures as my proselyting scriptures, but I think I’m going to start using the ones I study with. The houses are all two story here and super nice. I feel so awkward. Especially coming from Mid County where it was a lot more rare seeing two story houses. Plus, the sketchy areas here seem super safe still. That means I have to be more careful!

Well, I am pretty sure that is it.

Well, I hope that you have an amazing week! You will be hearing from me next week and I’ll tell you about my comp. As for now, I don’t know her.

Adios!
