Hey All! So... I got transfered. Elder Hoffman stayed put... he's training a greenie (I think his name is Elder Farnsworth). I'm executing a hit on Elder Ingham. In SPARKS. Waay north of Vegas. So I'm in the Reno North Zone now, Sparks North District. We (me & Elder Ingham) cover the Pyramid Lake and Sparks 8th Wards. Elder Ingham is the district leader here. This makes the 3rd district leader that I've served as companion to. The thing that's funny about coming here is that this is the second area I've come to where Elder ...

Alright, this week we're not experiencing technical difficulties. Sweet. So, after the library insanity last week, Thursday went ok, Friday I was in another area on splits, and Saturday was good. We've been refocusing on meeting the members in our wards, since we don't know them real well. We did have some success this week--the inactive family we've been working with came to a baptism on Saturday (not ours-Barton & Bachelder) and then came to Church on Sunday. We think we've got a pretty solid baptismal date for their 9-year-old (May 3rd). Other than that

We've actually got an appointment to go back later on today. We'll see how ...

I'm in the field now. I'm serving in the South District in the South Zone of the mission--my area is Hacienda Heights/Laurelwood. We're right next to the strip (which is no-mans-land... I don't think it's in either mission). My Trainer is Elder Dahl. He's from Palmer, Alaska, and has been out for just shy of 9 months. I'm a second child (aka E. Dahl trained somebody before me), and my grandpa, E. Warnecott, is one of our ZLs. There are 6 Elders & 2 Sisters in our district. E. Dahl is DL, we have ...
