Letter #7

 

 

So, transfer assignments finally came around on Saturday, and I am staying in Stadium ward for another transfer! Elder Kearney is moving out to Lacey 4th Ward, and he will be training a new missionary, and he will be a District Leader for the first time. So that's pretty exciting for him. I will meet my new companion tomorrow at transfer meeting. So that's pretty exciting for me. Our zone is getting split, so the rest of my district from this transfer isn't even in my zone anymore. So that's cool.

Well, we had 2 baptisms on Saturday. Brian and Sonja. So that was pretty great. We found out last minute that there was going to be a wedding in our building right during the time that we scheduled the baptism, and apparently our ward mission leader didn't schedule the building during that time, so we had to emergency move it to the stake center the day before the service. But it was still really good. That makes 5 baptisms this transfer, which is a pretty good number. Plus we still have a lot of good potential investigators that could easily be baptized in the next 6 weeks, so the missionary work is going really well over here.

Last night, the Petersons brought Elder Kearney and me out on their boat, and that was so awesome. We went out into the Sound, and around point defiance, and saw the Tacoma Narrows bridge right before heading back. Elder Kearney said that that's the only boat we will ever have permission from Presdient to be on. The boat we were on was built in 1929, and it used to be a ferry boat. They used to live in the boat, so it was fully equipped with a bed, a stove, a fridge, a tv, etc. It was so much fun. I wouldn't mind living on a boat like that.

Okay, so right after I emailed home last week, Elder Kearney got a speeding ticket, so I have been driving all week long. Which has been crazy, because we drive all over the place, and I haven't really driven in like a couple years before this just now. But I'm getting better pretty fast. Also, our water heater exploded at about 4:45 in the morning on Tuesday, and so that was a fun experience too.

Well, this letter has been so hard to grind out, and I'm just completely blanked out... But I love you all, and miss you tons!
