Change is work!!!!

This week has been great.

TRANSFERS were on Wednesday! Sister Corry and I were reunited at the transfer site. We were so pumped to see each other. We went to Walmart to get some groceries and then to our apartment...we white washed. The elders said they had cleaned. FALSE. It was nasty. We went into our room and in my bed, there were 20 loaves of bread with a blanket over it to make it look like there was a person, and Sister Corry's pillowcase was stuffed with bread as well. Where all the bread came from I have no idea. Nice joke. Everything else was grody. We threw all of the bedding into the washer and got to work. I got the lovely job of vacuuming up dead and live beetles and spiders for 30 minutes. And Sister Corry worked on the bathrooms. You couldn't see through the shower door because there is so much soap scum and the sinks were green/brown. The kitchen was sick and everything else was just yucky. We cleaned the bedroom and bathrooms first so we could sleep in somewhat peace. We are lucky to have a nice shelter though. We are trying to give it a womans' touch and smell. I hope this doesn't taint your view on Elders....they are great.

We have an investigator named Caleb! He is so great. He is getting baptized on June 29th. We met with him and taught him about the Book of Mormon. The Beck's in the ward are so great with them. Their son Braken is the same age (12) and he is so funny. Do you remember Geno's friend Jordan in Wisconsin...the hilarious neighbor boy? That is Braken. So funny. 

We cover three wards. One is pretty small in area and the other two are out in the country. South Point, Taylor View and Park Taylor. The leadership is great!

Sister Corry is great. She is such a fun companion. We need to put a cap on how long we talk at night though....just so much to chat about.

The elders before us thought it would be fun to accept an invitation to speak in Sacrament on Sunday...one of the elders was done with his misison and the other one got transferred, so of course we got to speak :) I spoke on the 12th article of faith. I had no idea how I would talk on obeying the law and being subject to presidents, kings etc...but it went well. I told some stories about the MTC with Sister Corry and I and tried to crack some jokes. Fortunately it went over well. Sister Corry did really well too, she talked first and sat down and said sorry for only taking 10 minutes and I was left with 25. But I filled the time :)

We went to dinner at the Smith's last night and Bbrandon's friends the Jenson's were there and also a couple from the Netherlands. It was so much fun, they were all really funny. It was fun to get a video of Brandon, Danielle, Makayla and Annie :)

I love being a misisonary! We have seen lots of miracles and I love what I'm doing. I really can't imagine doing anything else.

love you all!
