Well, I'm getting moved. I was just really starting to love it here, but I guess that's the way it goes. I'm going to East Wenatchee and will be covering a spanish branch and an english ward. It will be really good because there were sisters there before. So we are sweeping into the area. It will be good to get a fresh start. I don't know my new companion yet. I meet him tomorrow when I head over there. He is in Moses Lake right now. That's about all I know. And I think he goes home after this transfer. So I'm sad that I'm leaving, but I'm sort of excited too. I guess it's quite a bit bigger than where I am now. It's right on the West side of the mission boundaries. That's crazy that Spencer Packer is home already. Time is flying by. This last transfer went by so fast. Not a whole lot happened this week. I gave my talk in the english ward thankfully. It wasn't to bad. I changed it a little bit from the copy I sent you. I think it ended up being like 20 minutes so that was good. We have some investigators who have there grandson over at there house right now. I think he's 10 years old. Well he is catholic but we were talking to him the other day and he was asking the difference between mormons and catholics. So we started to talk about the godhead. After all he said was wow, I think I'm going to become a mormon. It was pretty cool. He goes home in Idaho though in like a week. So that's the bad part. So hopefully the missionaries will find him there. Last night we had a pretty crazy lesson. It was really short, but in the end we asked the lady who she wanted to pray. She asked if she could say it and we said of course. So she offered the prayer. Well she was confused and didn't say amen. Well we didn't know if she was done or if she was just thinking. So we sat there for a few minutes with our arms folded and our eyes closed still. The spirit was so strong. Then we realized she was done and we lifted our heads and she was crying. It was so cool to see that. We also had a priest from the ward with us who is going through some rough times so it was really good for him to see that too. He loved it. Today I don't have a whole bunch of time because I need to pack all of my stuff. And our bishop here was pretty sad to know that I was leaving so we are going to his house for lunch today. I think he started crying last night when I told him. He's a pretty emotional guy though. So yeah this last week not a whole lot happened. I spent one day with an Elder who only speaks english over here. We only talked to one spanish lady though I think. Then I had to go over to Othello for a day too. So my companion and I really didn't get to work to much togehter. That makes it really hard to teach people when only I, or only him taught them. But things are going good and I'm excited for the change. I love you all so much. When I was doing my talk yesterday I realized how important it is for us as members of the church to lead by example. So stay strong and set the example for those around you who aren't members. They will realize you have something that they want! This is the true church and I'm so grateful to have it in my life. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. Have a good week. If you write letters just send them to the mission office.
