Week 85

Transfers have been fun, training has been a little stressful. I guess that's how it goes when you do anything new, but opening a new area is also the cherry on top. But the members here are super cool! MONDAY was a fun last P-day in the Mt. Franklin zone. We got together at this one board game shop and beat a game I really wanted to try. Afterwards, we went to the church and had a big Nerf war with the zone in the cultural hall. Then we finished up my signing transfer journals and saying goodbye to the missionaries who were heading home. TUESDAY I went on exchanges with another elder being transferred and we basically just spent the whole day saying goodbyes to members and packing up our stuff. WEDNESDAY we had our transfers and I picked up my new greenie, Elder Droge (Dro-ge). He's from West Valley City, UT and is actually older than me, which is funny. We had some trainings from the APs and the mission president, lunch, and then loaded our luggage into our new truck. Fun fac...

A couple more doctor visits and the announcement of the next AP for our mission has given some interesting events for this week. MONDAY was a whole ordeal all on its own because we spent about 4 hours just sitting in waiting rooms at the E.R. to get Elder Riggle's leg looked at. Our mission nurse thought he might have something called compartment syndrome and told him to go to the E.R. because if he did have it, he would possibly need emergency surgery. We went, waited around for a while, got his leg looked at for about 10 minutes, and were told that he was fine. TUESDAY we joined a bunch of the other missionaries in the zone for Spanish class so that Elder Riggle can start working on his Spanish before the mission turns fully Spanish. WEDNESDAY we had a follow-up at urgent care for Elder Riggle's leg. More sitting in waiting rooms, hurray! THURSDAY we were able to spend some time out and about knocking doors and contacting the friends we're teaching. It was great to be...

Week 55

Another week, another area. If this rate of new companions keeps up, I'll end up having somewhere around 17 companions by the end of my mission! MONDAY was my last P-day of the transfer, so a lot of missionaries got together really early to play basketball and board games. It was a pretty good time, and I was able to say goodbye to a bunch of people. When we went shopping, we ended up running into a ton of members, which was pretty funny because of how back-to-back it was. TUESDAY was a pretty normal day for finding where we just gave it our all before I got transferred. A lot of downtime that day was just spent packing. WEDNESDAY was the actual transfer day, so we headed over to the transfer site to get everything switched around. I said hi to a bunch of missionaries I knew and hello to a bunch of new ones before I left. We spent almost all day just driving out there to get our new companions, and then when I met Elder Watson, my new companion, we had to spend another 2 hours to g...
