So we got transfer calls Saturday and I am leaving! After all, I am coming up on my 6 month mark this week, and this is still my first area, so I am excited to be going, but really sad. There are so many awesome people here! Members, investigators, and so many more that I haven't met yet. Also, this ward was split between one set of Elders (us) and a set of Sisters. Well, they are closing down the Sisters area this transfer because they don't have enough missionaries coming in to keep all the areas. So Elder Terry and his new greeny (he is gonna be training) are going to take over the whole ward! Which may not sound that hard, but they got over twice as much to do now. Because the Sisters actually have some people that are progressing. So he is gonna be super busy, especially considering he has only been here for one transfer (6 weeks). So he should be having fun! I am totally pumped for him! Though kinda bummed that I am missing out on all the action here. It is going to be so awesome!

As for me, I am going and I have no idea where! It's kinda weird, I'm just packing up and getting ready to go, and I'll find out tomorrow where I am going just before I go there. It makes it quite a bit of an adventure. I am pretty pumped for that too. I don't really know why though, maybe just because it is a new adventure. I am excited. Though this area is just taking off, we had someone that I use to be teaching a few months ago but she dropped us. Then randomly yesterday she showed up to church. Freaking awesome! Her name is Barbara, and she is a crazy old lady. Elder Terry and his greeny will have fun teaching her again. There is so much that is here so many goals and people that I am just leaving, it is kinda weird. I am pretty pumped, as I already said. Even though life is a roller coaster, I've decided to enjoy riding this roller coaster, because everybody loves a good roller coaster.

It's been so cool to see so many miracles here this last week. We have been working hard and praying hard and things are starting to happen, we are getting new people to teach, and all kinds of awesome stuff! 

Last week for p-day we went with a bunch of other missionaries to a trampoline park. It was awesome! We bounced around all over the place, did slam dunks and played some sweet games of dodgeball on the tramps. It was a good time, but the effects were lasting. Everyone that I talked to that went was sore for days afterward. Everywhere. My whole back, neck and my quads all were sore. I guess jumping for an hour and a half is a good workout. 

Sorry, today was all over the place, but that was the week!

The Church is true!
