Letter #71

Okay, so transfer calls are in, and I will be staying with Elder Hendricks for another transfer in Poulsbo.  So that's exciting.  Not many people got transferred this transfer.  Almost everyone who is moving is either going home, or filling a place of someone who is going home.  There's only one person moving out of our district (she's going home) and the sister who is staying there is training this transfer.  I'm way sad that I don't get to go to transfer meeting, but I do like most of my district for the most part, and the ward here is really awesome, so I'm glad I don't have to leave these people yet.

Oh, so yesterday was my 17-month mark.  I'm about to be a year and a half old in less than a month now.  I'm getting way old.  But that's cool.

We got invited to go to mutual this last week, which was exciting.  We had a campfire on the beach (of the hood canal, not the ocean, so it was kinda a fake beach) and talked about missions.  A bunch of the youth just got back from trek, and Camp Helaman (a weird missionary camp thing.  I haven't heard of anything like it anywhere else.), and so a lot of them had cool experiences from that that we talked about, and so that was cool.  We even had a non-member there (from the other ward, unfortunately) who should really be baptized, cause he went to all these things too, and is more solid in the church than some of the other young men we have.

We got to do some yard work for a less active member this week too, which was nice.  It's so weird talking to RMs who don't go to church any more.  But he is nice to us and everything, because he was a missionary too at one point.

Oh yeah, and we just barely got a call that Poulsbo 1st won't have a car anymore.  So we'll be sharing with them again this transfer.  Which is kinda sad, but whatever, I guess.  Days go by a lot faster without a car, cause travel takes so much longer, and you can't get as much done.  But it's not all bad, cause you get more exercise, and everyone thinks you're working a lot harder, cause they see you around more.

Well, this email is super non-substantive, but I've always struggled to describe my life as an inventory of events.  I hope everyone is well :)  Love you all, bye
