G'day! How is everyone goin?

Transfers this week was a bit of a shocker. My companion and I got white-washed out, leaving behind just one companionship instead of two. We didn't see it coming and we were pretty bummed actually. We were just  starting to see some success. I was a bit sad to leave my companion as well. We were just starting to get things going. The last week of the transfer he had a bit of a rough time and was feeling like he wanted to go home. We talked it over and by the end of the week he had changed and he was ready to work. So the transfer was a surprise, but you get used to it after you've been out a while. They're usually a bit of a surprise. And something I've realised is that you don't always get sent where you want to go but you are always sent exactly where you're needed.

If it's not too late do you think you could stick some Cheetos in the package as well? Only if you haven't sent it yet.

Haha just tell Evan to stop growing will ya? Yeah, I reckon he can have some of my clothes. I don't think any of my pants will fit very well anymore, you can have those. Just take what you want. All good bro. I actually bought a couple T-shirts at Target because all the shirts I brought have gotten a bit snug. "Oh boy!" 

Actually, it would be cool to have a BSU shirt (probably medium size). I wish I could have thought of these things earlier. But if you haven't sent the package yet I think that's my last request for this Christmas.

 So I've been transferred to Burpengary 2 in North Brisbane. It's a nice area, small. It's nice and warm up here. I was hoping to stay down on the Gold Coast for summer! The area is relatively new. There has only been two companionships in the Burpengary ward for one transfer before this one. I didn't get to email Tuseday when transfers and p-day was because we didn't make it back home before the library closed.

It has been good so far. The area has lots of potential. We plan to baptize this transfer.

FYI, I seem to have misplaced my church issued credit card. I will get a new one in a few weeks, but I will have to use my home check card to buy some groceries for the next little while.

I hope mum  and the kids are feeling better by now! It is no fun to be crook.

I love you all! Especially Kenzie... and Bryson...and Jackson... and Evan...and Miranda.

Love,
