Transfers

Well it's official I'm getting transferred! And even more interesting...I'm getting in-field transferred (which means I won't go to transfer meeting because I'm going pretty close to where I am already.) I'm going to Baytown. I found out last night and my new companion will be Elder Riches. He trained my MTC companion Elder Burdsal. I leave for Baytown at 1 today! I'm excited! I heard good things about Baytown. It's a really Spanish dense area too so I will be speaking more Spanish than I have here.

I'm going to miss all the friends I have made here. Especially my recent convert Nahum, and his family, and the Keffers/ Montemayors. Francisco, Arely, and Ivonne are like best friends to me. And
Dulce,Nahum, and Anahi feel like my siblings! They all treated me so well! I bore my departing testimony in sacrament and made people cry because I'm leaving haha I felt bad. I'm going to miss them!

Tennis is fun I'm getting all right at it actually! Doesn't bother my knee either! I heard about the super bowl. That's a shame. I hate the patriots! But oh well. This week was alright and went by fast. This next transfer is seven weeks long! Ugh.

When I teach the plan of salvation, especially when I teach with kids, I keep it really simple and easy to understand. We use a white board and draw pictures and explain as we go. Easiest way is to teach using scripture. I'll insert a picture of one of my plan of salvation drawings(it is in Spanish however so have Nate or someone translate haha) and if you would like I can send you scriptures later that are
used to explain each step in the plan of salvation. It's in my journal though and that is packed away at the apartment!

Michael Keffer is leaving on his mission today. Haha Graciela calls me I'm her adopted son so she will have two kids leaving today. Sad time. He's going to Spain!

Glad to hear things are good. I'm going to miss Beaumont. I miss you guys and love you.
