March 1 Last week of Transfers

This was a pretty crazy week. The last week of every transfer is a little crazy. Everyone in my pad found out where they were going on Friday morning, but I had to wait until Saturday night for "Transfer Calls".

I'm staying here for the next 6 weeks for sure. I'm happy because we have 3 Baptismal commits for this next transfer, March 13, and on April 10. And we have a lot of investigators that are very close to being baptized. P comes to church every Sunday and He and I are good friends. He's 23. He likes to sit next to me while i translate in the back and whisper words to me that I don't know. Sometimes he's wrong and it confuses me - ha ha. But he is really cool and wants to be baptized, just has a couple things to take care of first.

I'm a little nervous to see who my new companion is. But Elder P and J are staying here in Riverhead, so I'm REALLY happy about that. Elder P is one of the elders from American Fork and Elder J is from Sandy. They are both great missionaries and really cool people.

We went out to East Hampton on Saturday and we taught a really cool guy and a family that lives out there. The family drives an Hour to Church every Sunday and they have come 4 or so times. It's hard to go all the way out to East Hampton very often, but we need to do it more often. Hopefully we will be going out there more often with my new companion.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is OK, for the most part, in Chile. I've been worrying for the past few days. I hope that everything will be OK. Keep me updated on EVERYTHING. I'll keep them in my prayers. I haven't had the chance to talk to Sister S, the Chilean member, but she is from northern Chile, an hour north of Santiago, but I'll ask her when I get the chance.

It's been raining for the past week and it snowed on Wednesday and Thursday, it was a lot of snow but it's almost all melted. Supuestamente its going to snow on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I'm ready for spring. I want to go run around and play some soccer, get some of this flab off of me, ha ha. I'm definitely sick of winter and ready for spring.

For now, we still have Suzy, my new car, but when the little green girl car gets fixed we will get it back and had Suzy over to some other missionaries. This might happen at Transfer meeting. We'll see.

Tonight we have a couple of appointments with members and investigators,so Elder H can say goodbye. He has served here for 6 months so its hard to say goodbye. But he's doing fine.

I think that's everything, let me know if anybody wants to buy the house and what the game plan is.. If Dad is still planning on going down to Chile anytime soon, stuff like that. Just let me know. I will be sure to inform you about my new companion and everything next Monday.
