Week 102

This is my last weekly email here on the mission. I've learned so much serving the Lord, and I want to keep learning more about Him and becoming more like Him for the rest of my life. I'm about to start a new part of my life, and I'm both scared and excited, but I feel prepared. MONDAY was pretty fun with us playing a ton of different sports and other activities, as well as doing a bunch of transfer journal signing. TUESDAY was a weird day because our zone leadership thought it would be a good idea to do whitewash zone-wide exchanges with everyone. I was put into a full Spanish area with an Elder who had just started learning Spanish. It was a weird day with a bunch of random stuff happening, including a missionary who served in that area previously calling us while in the middle of a lesson with a recent convert he had just baptized a couple of days ago. WEDNESDAY we ended the zone-wide exchanges with a big brunch with everyone in the zone. I also had green chili enchilada...

Transfer week this time is a bit interesting. I'm not particularly stressed about what the next transfer is going to be like, but I really hate that I have to pack again. MONDAY was a lot of fun. I got to try out a new board game based on a video game I like, play in a really competitive game of chair soccer, and then finish the night off with everyone in the zone doing a spa night with face masks. It was pretty fun to be able to just hang out with everyone like that. TUESDAY we had our normal district council. Nothing too special happened today, but we did help our recent convert, Ashlin, move to more downtown El Paso. WEDNESDAY was a little weird because normally half the zone comes to this one farm for a couple of hours each week, but it ended up just being us and another companionship. We also had a really cool lesson with Ashlin, where he told us a lot of his life story. THURSDAY there was a really terrible dust storm going all day, so we spent a lot of our time inside people...

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...
