Transferred!!

Hey Everyone! It's been a great week! I've got a whole lot to say and not much time to say it!

M- I got transferred! Gaaa! Didn't see that coming! They whitewashed Redbridge and put in Elder Amosa, a new missionary. Apparently President likes training people there, starting them off right in the refiner’s fire. I'm doing well out here though! I'm serving in the Parkville Ward in the Platte City stake. I've made a full circle! Atchison is just up yonder. I think I might have to cut up there one of these P-days. I am really looking forward to serving here. I'm going to make it the best twelve weeks of my life! (That is until I marry a honey, being married is going to be the best!) 

I- We have a couple good investigators up here. I won't take time to talk about everyone today but I will take time to talk about two. The first is Jesse James Fleig! He's a really cool guy! He's our neighbor in the apartment across the street. He has some physical disabilities so he's in an electric wheelchair and has trouble communicating but he has an awesome testimony and he loves coming to church. The other investigator is Denitra Thomas. She's been meeting with the missionaries for a couple weeks and she's doing really well. We had a family home evening lesson with her at a member’s home last night. We talked about fasting. The spirit was really strong. We're meeting with her again tomorrow. 

R- You know what? I had a nice long conversation with Sister Moore the day before I left Redbridge. She was the member we were living with. She said that it seemed like there had been a weight on my shoulders for the past couple weeks and I didn't seem happy. And you know what? She was right, and well that just won't do! One of my favorite things about myself is how happy and easygoing I try to be, and I wasn't being either of those things. Missions are simple. You go out and you work your hardest, and then you go to bed knowing that you did you best, and if you did do your best, you can go to bed happy. I'm going to strive to stay happy out here! 

A- The area is doing great. I feel like I have been in more homes in the past four days than I have in the past four weeks. 

C- My new companion's name is Elder Robinson. He is a great missionary! He's from Logan and he has been out on his mission for two transfers. He was trained by a great missionary, so he knows what to do! He's a great teacher and he's hilarious! It's been a really fun couple of days with him. 

L- I just finished reading the Book of Mormon yesterday. I started reading it November 13th of last year so it almost took half of my mission! I really wasn't moving through it too fast. I only read a chapter a day. It made for a great way to open up my studies. Reading that slow gave me a lot of chance to highlight and underline and pick it apart! After I finished yesterday I prayed to God to know if it was true. I can testify to you that it is. It truly is packed full of revelation and pure doctrine. I know that anyone who reads it will get that same answer too!

E- My new address is 

9226 NW 60th street

Parkville, Mo. 64152

Please please please feel free to write or email as much as you'd like. I love you!
