Transfers

Well it was a good week here.

  Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal in Livingston, mixed in with packing up and getting some stuff ready to go.  Then Wednesday was transfers and I headed to my new area.  I’m living in Lenoir City, TN.  My companion is Elder Jacobson from Redding, California and he is a good dude.  I also can’t remember if I mentioned it last week, but we are on bikes here so that’s been fun.  It kinda sucks because this area is nothing but lots and lots of hills, but it’s not too bad.

   Overall, it’s been good here. We have a really fun district of 6 Elders and 2 Sisters, so it should be a good time.

Hope y’all have a good week

Hey y’all,

   It was a good last week here in Livingston.  I’m going to be transferring to Lenoir City, TN for my last 6 weeks.  My new companion will be Elder Jacobson, who I have never met, but it should good. I’m excited to get the ball rolling on my last transfer!

Last Transfer!

Temple Visit

Hey y’all,

   We have had a pretty good week.  On Wednesday we had our district meeting and right after we had interviews with President Pickett, which is always great.  We had a good conversation and I got some good "final transfer" insights coming up. One thing that surprised me is that he said I most likely will not be in this area next transfer, even though I just got here. So, we will see what happens!

   Saturday morning, we met up with a member couple in our branch at 6:15 and headed out to Nashville to go to the temple.  They were going through for the first time, and were also getting sealed together, so it was really cool to be able to witness all of that.  It’s always refreshing to be in the temple.

   Other than that it's been a normal week, a lot of finding, and a lot of warm weather.  This next week we have transfer calls on Saturday, and of course conference coming up as well. Hopefully y’all have a great week!
