To the middle of "nowhere"....

For Sunday School we go to Gospel Principles every week. It is a pretty empty class so we go to support the teacher. I do not believe any of my friends are on ragbrai. Max is busy filming that movie and I have not heard from Joe in a while. I plan on emailing Clayton this week. Yes, I still keep a journal every day. Much to my own surprise I have come to enjoy it. 

Well I have been transferred. My days in the Brownsville Ward are over. I spent three transfers here just as I did in Lacey. 3 transfers is a good length. Not too long but not too short. I will leaving to go to the Elma zone to a ward called Gray's Harbor. I am kind of going to the middle of nowhere. I live in a city called Cosmopolis and I cover the city of Aberdeen. So you can look that up on Google maps. I will know much more next week. We live in a home and have a car and a washer and dryer so that is good so far. 

I will miss this ward though. It is hard to leave but change has to happen. The group I am with has been together for 3 months and we were getting a little tired of each other. It's hard when there is only one main room to hang out in. Either way I leave tomorrow. I am saying goodbye to all the people I met here today. I am going with an Elder Rice, who our president described as quiet but obedient. He has been out a shorter time than I have so this is the first time my companion has been younger than me. It will be an interesting change.

 We finished the week strong in Brownsville. We found like 4 new people to teach in two days. Elder Aussef is training so I am getting replaced by a "greenie". Luckily for me Elder Aussef is a good missionary so hopefully he can baptize some of the people we have been working with. I have taught a lot more in Brownsville than I did in Lacey. Lacey was pretty dry as far as missionary work.

 Hopefully I can find some people in Elma. I will send some pictures with families I spent time with in Brownsville. Summer has been great here. Much better than Winter. It has cooled off the last couple of days. Change was hard my first time coming here but I think things will be easier this time since I have moved before. I just have my two suitcases and a Lowes box to carry with me. So yeah. Its been a fun couple of last days. Sounds like you guys are enjoying summer. Now that the World Cup is over maybe next transfer will be the one. 


Wish me luck with the move. My new mail is this.
