Surprise Transfer (April 3, 2013)


I did not forget you all, today was our P-day because Monday was a holiday. I am actually not in my new area yet. I am in Greenwood for now, still in North Coast Zone. Not all of the new missionaries got their visas. My companion is going to be training but his new companion is still in the US. They put me with him until his new companion comes because I was in a three way. They just forgot to tell me until I got to the transfer meeting so it was a big surprise. I have no idea how long I will be in this area, but the ward is great. I don't know where the two Elders are who I'm supposed to be with in the new area so I do not even know if anyone is in that area now. It is a little weird not knowing how long I will be here. It is a ward that I did want to serve in, but for a little longer than a week or two. I also gave a talk on Sunday. Funny enough it was my first talk on my mission. I leaned not to visit members of the bishopric's houses before a Sunday, and then tell them I will only be here for a week or two. I think by next week I should be in my new area, but I have no idea. I might call my assistants some time and see if they know anything. My trainer is an assistant now which is really cool. Everyone thinks it is really funny that I am still in the same zone after almost 8 months. Maybe someday I will get away. I have also figured out that I have served in 3 of the wards out of five in the zone, and if you count exchanges I have been in all of them. So lots of uncertainty at the moment, but I am enjoying the new area. It is a bit slow because we only have one investigator, all of them were dropped in the last couple of weeks. So we have been going around and visiting all of the members which has been good because I know some of them because I have been in the stake for so long. Well I only have 15 minutes today because I did not receive a letter of residency for this area so I cannot use a normal computer. Talk to you in a little less than a week.
love
Elder Cook
