Transfer number 7 and guess what?

We got Transfer Calls two days ago. I'm going to this really far-off place called Bearcreek.

.....

Yup, that's right. I'm not going anywhere! And oddly enough, neither is Hermana Wardle. Actually, there is not a single change in our entire District! That like never happens so we were all a bit baffled. I'm feeling good about staying though. I like he area, and the Members in this ward. Work has really exploded lately, we are seeing many blessing as we are being obediant. Although I am bummed that I will have to wait at least six weeks longer until I can have a Dryer again. I'm quite tired of moldy towels and crunchy clothes....

Uhm, I don't really have a whole lot more to report other than the anticlimactic Transfer Calls.

So! I will share something cool I found on the Church Website. The International Art Competitions! You can view entries from the last couple of years from is link: http://lds.org/churchhistory/museum/competition/1,16118,4091-1-,00.html Enjoy!

Over and Out,

Squeaky Clean New Year

New Years was great! Since people were going crazy with fermented beverages, pyrotechnicks, and firearms outside Missionaries needed to be inside by dark for our own saftey. So I wrote out all my Christmas Thankyous and more during that time! I look forward to being able to blow off fireworks again, it won't be this Independance Day since I'm out in August. But I could for next New Years!

I hope you all had a safe time and have bright hopes for this next year. I don't make New Year Resolutions, but it is a good time to reflect and think about how we can improve ourselves. I challenge each of you to do some serious self-reflection, and choose at least one attribute you would like to develop and one habit you would like to drop. You have a whole year to work on it!

Not a ton to report, just that I think I'll be changing areas in a week at the end of this Transfer.

Con Amor!
