This is going to be awesome too.

Hi everyone!

It's a little weird, but I got transferred! I don't really understand why, but after just 6 weeks in the ward, I got transferred right across the street to the other Spanish ward. It was really crazy. I know when I first found out about it, I was just super sad. I just felt like there was so much more I could do there, and that I didn't understand why I was leaving, and that I loved the people in that area so much. But I know that it'll be okay, and that things will all turn out. I really do hope I can come back to that area someday, though. It was awesome. But this is going to be awesome, too.

I guess it's a lot easier to predict when someone is going to be transferred than when they aren't. Usually, if you've been there for 3 or more transfers, you'd get transferred (which is why it's a little weird that I, not my companion, got transferred). It's actually interesting, if you don't get along with a companion, it's actually more likely that you'll stay with him until you get along than that you'd be immediately transferred away from him.

I am still driving, thank goodness. Our car was in the shop until this morning, so we had to bike yesterday evening, but now we're good.

This ward is much smaller. As opposed to the other ward, which covers 4 stakes, D3 (as we call it :)), only covers one, the Aurora Stake. I think there's actually more members in this ward. And there's 4 sets of missionaries here, just like in the other two Spanish wards.

So my former companion is still in that same area, for his 4th transfer, and his 4th companion. It's pretty crazy. I've met my new companion before, and he's a pretty great guy. So he was in the same zone as me for a couple of transfers. He was actually in the ward where I was trained! it's gonna be a great transfer, and we're going to do a lot of work!

But uh to answer your question, the work is going well in my former ward! Probably the most exciting thing is this one investigator that we're working with has just continued to be awesome. I think I told you about her last time. Her husband is a member, but she isn't. But she's been doing great. It really seems like she's just doing everything she can to find out if the Church is true. She even came to a baptismal service on Saturday, and it seemed like she really liked it. So hopefully my companion will tell me if and when she gets baptized. So, some really cool things going on.

So also though I guess I can describe where I used to live, and then where I actually do live right now. So we did live in a pretty suburban little development of like I don't really know maybe you'd call them condos? They were little houses that were being rented, I don't know what you'd call that. But anyway that was where I was living. Now I'm living in another members' home, also in a fairly suburban area. It's pretty nice, we've got quite a bit of space to move around and stuff.

And we didn't really do anything for Labor Day. The ward had a barbeque, but by that time we were already transferring and stuff. We did play some basketball with some members of the new ward, though, which was more fun than I was expecting it to be.

But anyway, that was basically what happened, it's really crazy. I love you all, I hope things go well this week, with everyone starting school!

I'm sorry I can't write a ton, because it is a Tuesday, and we kind of do have to to work, but I want you to know I love you a lot!

Love,

Peter
