So, I found out Saturday night, that Elder Zaugg and I will both be getting transferred out of Rye to a different area. Yes, they are flushing us out, and 2 new Elders are getting flushed in to Rye. I am kinda sad that both of us are going. I kind of figured I would leave, but I wasn't expecting my companion to leave also. He really wanted to stay, but it is what it is, and is what the Lord wants.
The Baptism with Scott did not go through last week, because he is still trying to fight some Word of Wisdom issues, but I know that he will be able to quit, and I know he will get baptized very soon, along with Ethan and Ivy Hill. It has been an amazing experience serving here in Rye, I love the people, and I will definitely be coming back to visit here after my mission.
Well, Elder Zaugg is getting transferred to Castle Rock, I heard it's an awesome area. I was hoping to end my mission there, because I have served everywhere but the North End of the mission. But that's okay.
And I will be getting transferred to Alamosa, back to the valley I go! Haha, I was not expecting it. President called me Saturday night and told me that I will be serving as a district leader down there. Guess we will see how this goes. :p But I am really excited for my new assignment! I know that this is what the Lord wants. So guess I will be finishing my mission, or as how we missionaries like to put it, "Dying" in Alamosa haha! So I will send you all my new address next week. Don't send any letters to the Rye address anymore.
The Highlight of this week was, without a doubt, Elder Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, coming to visit our entire mission. That was the coolest experience I have ever had on my mission. You think he's good in general conference? Just wait until you see him in person! He's even better, and he is soooo much funnier, and more personable in person than I ever thought he was. I got to sit second row, so I was really close to him, it was super cool and we all got to shake his hand! They said that this happening is super rare, so I'm going to treasure this moment forever. :)
The song I got to sing with 3 other missionaries went really well! Elder Holland told president that we all did amazing and that the spirit was very strong during it. As I was walking away from the pulpit, Elder Holland Whispered, good job Elder's and Sister's, it was beautiful! I was thankful it went well, and that he enjoyed it.
Well, I'm excited to tell you all the rest of my adventures in Alamosa next week! I love and miss you all, and I am excited to see you all very soon! :)
