Heyyyy!
So, to just get all the important news out of the way that I'm sure you're all dying to know, yes, transfers did affect me. So, I am still in the same ward, but my companion is no longer here. He was transferred down to the south of the mission. They're trying to start a Spanish group there, so he'll be working on that.
I have a new companion from near Chicago, Illinois. He's been out about three months longer than I have, and he's been serving in Spanish for most of his mission. Most recently he was in the Spanish ward that covers like Denver proper. After being together for about 24 hours now, he seems like a pretty cool guy, it should be a great transfer.
And with transfers, yeah, there really isn't alone time at all. The only alone time we get is in the bathroom :). But when we're at home we can sort of make "alone time" if it's crazy. I'm not sure whether it's technically allowed to be in different rooms in the apartment, but that happens occasionally.
It sounds like you guys have been having a pretty dang busy week yourselves. Church things sounds like they went well, or as well as can be expected. I hope the funeral went well.
So anyways this week was pretty alright. There were, again, some really cool things that happened, and some not so cool things that also happened.
Cool thing #1: So we probably had one of the most fun P-days I've had on my mission so far on Monday. We went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which is basically the Denver equivalent of OMSI, because it was their "free day" on Monday. I guess once a year there's free admission for the day. The only downside was that there was a special exhibit going on there, about the Maya, that we really wanted to go to, but that part wasn't actually included in the free day thing. Sad.
But it was still a really cool museum, lots of interesting things. There was one exhibit about mummies that was cool, one about outer space, and other cool stuff. There were also a lot of like dioramas of different animals and their habitats, which there aren't a lot of at OMSI, because I guess the nature part isn't as big of an emphasis there.
And then, to make it even way better, on the way home, we stopped by the one Voodoo Doughnuts outside of Oregon (I know, I had no idea it existed either), and got donuts, so that was pretty awesome, I've gotta say.
We also had mission conference, which was pretty dang awesome. It was from 9-12 on Wednesday, and then afterwards President Toombs gave us two hours of approved just hanging out and mingling, so that was pretty fun, just I guess catching up with old friends and stuff. It's kind of crazy that President Toombs is leaving so soon, though! His last day is June 30th, only like 20 days from today. I'll miss him a lot, but I'm sure President Mendenhall will be pretty great as well.
In terms of teaching lessons, though, it was a little bit harder of a week. We weren't able to teach either of the investigators who are progressing, because they were really busy with moving. But we have appointments set with them for this week, so that should be great!
It's interesting, this is the first time I've actually stayed in an area while my companion left. I'm a little bit scared, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be a big problem, as long as I do the right thing, work hard, and trust in Heavenly Father. I'll let you know how it goes next Monday! :).
I hope everything is good with you guys. Thanks for the pictures. I love you so much.
Peter
