Week 9, 11-27-2017

Hello guys!

This week went by super fast so I don't know what to even talk about. It feels like I wrote one of these things yesterday.

We had what's called return and report this week. Return and report is when all of the new missionaries and their trainers meet up. We had one big meeting with everyone and after that, we split up and had two meetings, one with us new missionaries and one with the trainers. It was really nice to see my friends from the MTC. It's probably the last time that we're all going be able to hang out like that.

Transfers are tomorrow. (Transfers occur every 6 weeks and it's when missionaries will switch areas and companions.) Both Elder Nielsen and I are staying in the Wakefield area. (Most of the time you stay with a companion for 2-3 transfers and in an area for like 5.)

Almost our entire district is staying the same. (A district is a group of about 4 companionships in areas that are next to each other.) Except Elder Foland is going home. Elder Foland is a great missionary and an even better friend.  Shakespeare, his companion, Nielsen, and I are going to miss him a lot, and even though we are sad that he is leaving we are happy to see him move forward after his two years.

And although Elder Neilsen and I are staying in the same area we are now going to be covering another area as well. So this means that we will be going to 6-8 hours of church every Sunday, we’ll have two phones, and about twice as many people to teach. It's going to be awesome to spend more time teaching and less time finding.

Stay safe and be strong!
