Goodbye Great White North

So this week I am being transferred, I will find out tomorrow where and who is my companion. I is a bummer because I only was able to be here 2 transfers, and the ward here is amazing, and the area is just so much fun. I will miss a lot of the amazing members here, but where ever I go I guess that is where I will be needed of the Lord. I grew a lot here, and am excited the upcoming challenges and the things to come. This past week we had an excellent week. We received a new part to our area, basically doubling it in area, which made it tons of fun to explore. We found a lot of Spanish, and were also able to double basically every single one of our Key Indicators as well. We went from 0-3 dates for the thirtieth since the last email, so it was going pretty well. My companion Elder G will be able to take care of it though, so I am not to worried, and I am excited to be watching what goes on in it while I am gone. Yesterday was a crazy day that I wanted to share a little bit about. We were in an exchange in the new part of my area. We went down and saw some other missionaries down there that told us about someone who is basically ready to be baptized, but is a little stubborn, so we went over and talked to him. He almost accepted a date for this weekend, said it sounded super tempting, but we just were not able to get past it, the new Elders will be stopping by this week and they should be able to get him there, he is really just playing hard to get. Then afterwards we went to see some less actives, which was good, and on the way to go knocking we were contacting and we contacted some crazy people. We tried to help the people as much as we could, and we stopped to talk to them for a while. This one guy was far from home trying to get back, and we got him into a good path, but most of what we did was talk to him. Afterwards we went and found some people we had blessed on Saturday with our Recent Convert and we were able to help them see the blessings of Baptism, and even this one girl that said she didn't believe in God was excited to learn more the next time because she is looking for something different, and really a relationship with God, so it was super fun. I guess talking about it doesnt seem so different, but being with the actual people, something was different yesterday, and we felt tons of Love for everyone we met. I love the people here so much, and I love the gospel. I guess that is why I am leaving because whenever I love the people so much, that is when President Anderson sends me somewhere else to grow even more love there. I love my mission and I know that it is what God wants from me, and that he is looking out for me. I love you all and I pray for you, Thankyou for your support
