New Area! (Week 37 In The Field)

I am so excited to be back in the springs, and to be close to people and places again haha. I just feel more at home here.

So I am going to start off my letter by talking about what happened Wednesday because obviously I spent Monday and Tuesday packing and saying goodbye. So Transfer meeting was held Wednesday at 11. That was the last time I will ever see President Anderson again. It was pretty sad to say goodbye to him but I am sure the new mission president will be just as good, if not better.

So something really funny happened at transfers. President Anderson usually calls each new missionary to the front to read their first assignment off to the other missionaries. So I'm just sitting there, when I hear, "we will now have the pleasure of meeting Elder Greer and hearing who his new trainer and assignment will be." It cought me off guard at first. I thought President was calling me out for doing something wrong. I was kinda scared haha. But it turns out that there is another Elder Greer that is entering the field. So president actually did call me up to take a picture with him. We all got a kick out of that.

After that, I met my new companion Elder McGhie, who is so funny, and easy to get along with. I am so thankful to have him as my new comp. So after the meeting, we went to Chili's and I entered my new area. My new area is so nice. Everybody has huge houses in the ward. Mostly because everybody is either a doctor or a dentist. So I'm set on free appointments if I need any haha. I am still trying to get to know the area and people, so not much happened this week.

We live with an older couple, who are very nice. We have family prayer with them every night, which is really cool. Their names are the Beirs, and they have a huge back yard with a hammock, so I'm thinking of maybe doing our studies in the morning ourside. :) Oh before I forget my new address is:

Elder Andrew Greer

11275 Milam Dr

Colorado Springs, CO 80908

Just in case any of you want to send me mail. Oh, something interesting happened yesterday. We met a family named the Bradys, they are an active family in our ward that we wanted to set a family mission plan up with. Their son, and now daughter in law, Bret and Hilary, lived in Jacksonville Fl, and apparenly went to the same singles ward as I did! They were like, I know you from somewhere! Then I told them where I was from and they were flipping out haha. Needless to say I had to get a picture with them. She lived in Jacksonville her whole life and he went to school there, and thats how they met. It is a small world haha.

Anyways, I'm already loving the ward I'm in, and am so excited to work here in my new area. We do a lot of tracting in this area, so that will be fun. Oh, and every night we will come home to so many moths is our room. I don't want them eating my clothes so we catch them and kill them haha.

I love you all and hope you are all doing well back at home! Have a good week! :)
