Transfers (September 9, 2013)

I am getting transferred, but I do not know where yet. The Zone leaders just told me I am going south of where I am. I could have guessed that myself without a call. Hopefully they call back soon with more information. I am sad to be leaving Karratha, but at the same time I know it is time for me to go back to the city. I think I have forgotten what it feels like to be around other missionaries. 

So the Zone Leaders just called and said that I am going to be in Forrestfield in Southern River stake. It is funny because that is where my companion just came from. I will have two companions for a couple of weeks because one of them is going home in the middle of the transfer.

I am really going to miss Karratha, for what I learned up here about myself and about being a missionary. The weirdest part about leaving will be the fact that I may never see this part of Australia and the people again. Down in Perth when I leave an area I can always serve close to it again, but there is really no way I can serve around here again. 

This week has been good. We were able to see that couple we saw last week again. It was an ok lesson, he was asking lots of questions, but it was hard to transition it into a lesson. But it was good because the Spirit was there, and his questions were really good. We also had other good lessons with our solid investigators with members. The other investigators we were not able to see. It is the first time having only member present lessons during a week, which was good because members make a big difference while teaching. But it was also annoying because that means there was a lot of time we were trying people but they were not home.

I cannot wait to tell you about my new area and companions next week

love,
