The Busiest Transfers Yet!

Hello all,

 

Transfers have happened so for us that means it is our busiest time of the transfer. I have a whole list of missionaries that need things, furniture that needs to be delivered, and other office tasks that need to be done soon!

 

Last week was kind of slower, but when it got to the weekend, things quickly picked up.

First off, on Sunday night, after our wonderful dinner with the Greensides and Stinsons, Elder Rodriguez found out he was going to be transferred. So we spent all the spare time we had saying goodbye. Saying goodbye to the Stinsons was quite sad. They played "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again" and we talked about their conversion. Every time I talk to them I think of how amazing they truly are. It is amazing that Lindsey, who was a timid woman that didn't trust many people has grown into a bold new member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The gospel truly does bring true happiness and changes people for the better.

 

On Monday we took the old missionaries home, which tends to make me quite trunky, but I got over it quickly. Elder Tanner (Hello, if you are reading my blog), my old companion went home along with 12 other missionaries. He will be missed.

 

Yesterday was the busiest day of my mission so far. In the morning Elder Rodriguez packed up and we left for the airport to pick up 21 new missionaries. That is about double the regular size of new missionaries. One of them was actually a familiar face. He was an elder that entered the MTC the same day I did, but had to go home a week into the MTC. It was great to see him back!

 

I got a new companion. His name is Elder Kasenberg. He is from Kitchener, Canada! He is a bit younger than I am (about 8 months), but a great missionary. Together we are basically going to take over the office duties of Vehicle Coordinator and the other office duties when the Greensides leave at the end of this month. So we are going to have a lot to do this transfer training for the office.

 

After transfers we had to deliver some mattresses and a desk to West Seattle late last night because it was the only time we had and had to be done yesterday, according to the Apartment Coordinator. So we had a very long, tiring day yesterday and still have a lot to do this week. Things are good. It's better to be busy than not.

 

The Church is True!
