I got transferred!!

Hey Mom (EXCLAMATION POINT)

Conference was great!!! This week was great! But I was transferred. It is very bittersweet. I am in the same
zone as my first area. I am in the Tall Cedars ward. I am serving as a Zone Leader. My companions name is Elder Frazier. He is from St. George Utah. He is really tall. But he is a great guy. We live in a 3 story town house. Its owned by members but they are on military leave so the church is renting it. It is HUGE and so nice. We have 3 roommates. One is from Nagadocious Texas. He is hysterical! He is seriously the cowboy, Missionary, version of Jeff Kay. We all have a lot of fun.

The work is great in the area. We were able to put 2 new people on date. We are working with one Lady who is dating a member and is taking the lessons and we put her on date for November 16th. She is reading a lot and has solid good questions. She comes to church every week. We are also working with a teenage girl who's older brother converted a couple of years ago. Her name is Victoria. Her parents would not let her be Baptized until she was 18 but we were having dinner with her and her family and her mom out of nowhere, earlier that day, gave her the permission. She is on date for November 9th. She is a total missionary and we are teaching her friend Hannah and they are both working towards being Baptized on the same day. We had a great first lesson with this man named Nick yesterday. He is either part of the Navy Seals or works with them but he was introduced through some of the Seals that are Mormons. He told us a lot of Navy Seals are Mormon, and it makes sense. He is really prepared. He is Greek Orthodox and says that he has seen a lot of hypocrisy and wants to know the truth. We are really excited for that. The ward is amazing. They love the missionaries and Pres Riggs said that they are one of the most missionary minded wards in the Mission. There is a lot going on and I'm am super excited to be in this ward and for all the work that we have to do!!!

 Love ya!!!
