Transfers (July 29, 2013)

Wow it has already been two transfers here in Karratha. It is probably the weirdest two transfers because it feels like one long transfer. Normally even if you stay with your same companion there are missionaries around you that move so you feel the difference. Up here the only difference is that you use a new planner. My companion is going to Butler, one of my old areas. My new companion is from Tahiti, but I have never served around him. We actually thought that we were going to stay together for another transfer because we did not get emails about plane tickets, but the Zone Leaders called and told us. But we have no idea about the ticket.

We actually thought that sisters might be coming up here because when President Lindsay was here a couple of people brought it up. Our Branch President made a couple of jokes about us being transferred and his in-laws are a senior couple in the mission office, so we thought that he might actually know.

This week has been good. Our investigator did not get baptized, he feels like he needs a little more time. But the good thing is we are pretty sure he will get baptized, it is just a matter of when. The good thing is we have three investigators like that, I just hope that they are baptized while I am still here. I guess the only annoying thing is we do have a couple of other investigators, but not many and right now they are not very solid. But the work of salvation will go on, we just have to keep inviting people. At times this week it has started to feel really warm. I kind of hope I am not up here for another 3 months when it starts to get really hot.
