This past week was great!  Last Monday we had gotten the call (me and another elder in the district, Elder Clark) that we should pack our bags but not bring them to transfer meeting.  From that it was pretty sure that we were both leaving but staying in the district but we figured we’d end up companions.  What happened was my old area, Mo City South, was split in half.  Elder Clark went to the southern part with Elder Heidt while I ended up with the northern part with a new companion, Elder Riley.  He is from Payson, UT and this is his 3rd transfer, the previous 2 being in Kemah (an old area of mine).  We had the privilege of moving into an apartment that hasn't had missionaries in it for awhile so it's pretty barren.

Anyways, we've seen lots of miracles this week.  We've had some great lessons with less active members and were able to see them at church this week.  And we've been finding a lot of people to teach.  This morning was our temple trip, it was an amazing experience and we had a short meeting with a member of the temple presidency afterwards.  That's awesome to hear about Jordan's mission, could I get his address, por favor?  What else is new in the family?  Time is going by way too fast but there's a lot of work to be done in the vineyard and I love it.  Anyways, I hope y'all have a good week... and this library that I'm in is full of Halloween decorations so have a happy Halloween too.  "The gospel is true, if ya learn it, live it, and love it you'll be happy"-Bro. Bingham.  (probably the only thing I remember from 9th grade seminary)
