Letter #77

Okay, well, I have a lot of stuff to talk about this week, and not very much time, so I'm going to try to make it through everything.
My new area is pretty great.  It's right in Port Orchard, and we don't have a car because the area is so small, but it's a cool place to be.  Most of the ward is pretty old, but they're all way nice to us.  We had a super good fast and testimony this week with no crazy people, which was really good, because we had an investigator there for her first time.  She is getting baptized in 2 weeks, and coming out to church was kinda the next big step she was having trouble with.  She's really shy,  So it was super exciting to have her there.  We also had this one guy show up to church that we just said hi to.  Turns out he was a less active member, and when we said hello to him, he had this feeling that he needed to start coming out to church again, and he showed up the next day.  So it was super cool seeing him there too.  That was really great, because the same day that we said hi to him, everyone was shouting at us and someone at a yard sale bashed us for like half an hour straight, and it was a little bit of a downer day before that.
Elder's Quorum is crazy in this ward.  Everyone was super rowdy, which I'm not used to in EQ.  The guys in front of me took a selfie in the middle of class, and I photo-bombed it, cause I thought it was silly that two 30-year-olds were taking selfies in the middle of class.
Every time you have to change an area, it's super crazy, because you have to pick up everything you own and start life completely over in a new place, and everything is completely different, but this transition has felt super natural for the first time.  Maybe because I've been out so long now, but it's been great here, and I love my new companion.  Well, I'm out of time unfortunately, so this is it, but I love you all!  Talk to you later, bye
