Chapter 8: No change, well, except for the changes
2009 January 12
So transfers is this week... and I'm not packing. Neither is Elder Guerra. So we get another 6 weeks! Yay! I hadn't wanted to leave because I have a bit of unfinished business... hopefully I can get that all wrapped up before I leave. The latter half of this week has been pretty boring. We discovered Thursday morning that somebody had backed into our car. Not much damage--just a dent in the hood. We talked with Elder Mooney on Friday, and then with Elder Davis down at the mission office, and then... well we called a dent repair guy, and ...
Well, maybe next week will make sense...

This has been a long week. I'm still trying to figure out everything that's going on... Sometimes things can get waaay confusing. We had a couple of lessons, which went pretty well--we set one of the families we're working with for the 13th (of December)... which was awesome... until they didn't come to Church.

That was expected, as the mission continues to ...

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 ...
