It seems that whenever the car is repaired, it is more likely to brake... The Lord is still watching over y'all, and I can tell. Things got cold here too. The weather people said there was going to be snow flurries, but none came... I was so excited to get a picture of snow in Alabama! But I just learned about transfers and it looks like I'm going to be going to Callaway this Wednesday! I thought I was staying in Branch for a little while, but the Lord has a different plan for me. Now I have to call many people and say my goodbyes. I think that's one of the hardest things to do in the mission, because there are so many people that I need to call! This transfer is HUGE, we have about 17 missionaries coming in, and when I came in we had only nine. It tells you how big it is.

Our week has gone great! We met knew people, gained new investigators, and those that we scheduled BCD's for are doing great. I know Elder Danner will do a good job keeping up this area. I also know he is nervous. This is his first time taking over an area! But I'm going to be with another one of my MTC companions, Elder Harrer, it's going to be one hard working, fast paced companionship!

We had an experience this past week. We went to a house where we were going to teach a couple of new investigators, and apparently the girl's mom, and the girl is seventeen, told them she was baptised and also told them that she found the church wasn't true because of the things she found in the Bible. I just thought, not again. But we gave them the clear choice, and bore powerful testimony, and asked them if they wanted to investigate still. They didn't give us an answer, which I think is good. But it might be a while before they are ready...Maybe they will have to move. That just boggles my mind though. I don't like to get into thinking about what happened, but it shows how tricky the devil is.

We had two investigators at church, and are excited to continue to see them progress! But all is well, because it ended well, for the present. I did get your package, and I loved it! The M&M's were a bit beat up, but everything else was good, we had a romantic lunch Elder Danner and I.....just kidding! It was real good though. It was a lot of food too. But congratulate Ashton for me! That is awesome, he'll get into the heavy work now! So what does this mean about Tati? :)

But it's good to hear from y'all as usual. I'm going to be sending a small package soon, that could mean a couple months though haha. But hope y'all enjoy your President's Day!

Ps. I got to meet the new special teams coordinator for the FSU team's mom! She was nice!
