Letter # 25




Transfers are in, and I am going to be going to the Crescent Valley Ward in Gig Harbor.  Needless to say, I'm pretty sad to leave my first area.  But someone announced in priesthood that I would be leaving the area, and so they asked where I was going, and I told them, and everyone just laughed.  The guy in front of me said, "May God have mercy on your soul."  So I guess it's a pretty rich area.  And I'm coming from one of the poorest areas in the mission.  But I guess people really like it up there.  From what I hear, there is a lot more work with the members than there is tracting/street contacting/etc. so that's a good thing.  It's going to be sad leaving the heart of the mission, but there should be a lot of good times on the other side of the narrows.
Francis is getting baptized, and he asked me to do that, so I should be able to come back this Saturday for that.  We are teaching him the commandments tonight, but he's already paying tithing, and gave up coffee, and doesn't live with anyone, and he read over the interview questions, and said everything looked good, so there shouldn't be any problems.  So I'm way excited for that.
And I don't think anything else worth mentioning happened.  We talked to some lovely Catholic people who slammed doors in our faces, and we helped 2 people move, and one of them was actually a little normal.  So that's about everything that is worth mentioning.
Anyway, we're going to say that I'm running out of time and end this email here, so yeah
