MY VERY LAST TRANSFER...

Hey!

This last week was about the same as it always is. We did have one pretty neat experience as a Zone. With the movie "Meet the Mormons" coming out on October 10th we were able to watch it as a Zone so we would know what it was about if people are to ask us questions about it. It was a pretty sweet movie. It was also pretty fun to watch it as a Zone.

So I am bummed about my transfer news but also excited because I know it will be a very strong last transfer!!I My companion is Elder McGrath who served in Canyon Creek (The other ward in Laurel) for 6 months, 3 of which I was here for so we know each other really well. I am excited to be with him but just really sad to be leaving Laurel. This has been by far my favorite area!

I was so pumped to hear about dad, hopefully it will lead to something! As far as my suit pants, I NEED a pair of suit pants for my charcoal suit! I don't have a pair I can wear with it. My last pair just ripped in the seat for the fourth time and I can't sew them anymore. Sorry.

Well I don't have a ton to say this week. Our hike yesterday was way sweet. It was very physically demanding and I am feeling it today a lot!! Haha, but it was worth it. I will send you some pictures of it once I get them from Elder Allen. I have sent a package home with some stuff for you and for me for when I get home so look for that this week.

I will get my new address to you as soon as I get there and know it.

I love you tons mom!!!

Hey Dad!!

This week was good but nothing to exciting happened. Unfortunately none of the people we are teaching made it to church which was a bummer. We were able to teach a good amount of people this week which was nice. We were also able to do some service this weekend. We helped put up siding 3 different times.

I am pretty confident in my siding abilities now. Haha. We also got to watch the movie "Meet he Mormons" as a Zone which was a blast. We also had a movie night with the other Elders and a family in our ward named the Elmer's. We watched "Ephraim's Rescue" in their theater room which is amazing! He said he watches football in there which made me really jealous. I can't lie I am pumped to be able to watch sports in less than 6 weeks.

Even though I am sad to be leaving Laurel I am very excited to be headed to Riverton and to be companions with Elder McGrath. It will be a hard working transfer which will be nice so I won't have too much time to think about home - which will be good. I am going to try and make this last transfer my hardest working transfer! Then I will finish strong and it will go by fast. Like you said it is pretty crazy how fast 2 years goes by. I have mixed feelings about coming home though. I love and miss you guys so much and miss doing normal stuff but, I am going to miss being a missionary a ton!!! It's a hard thing.

So those trail camera pictures are way sweet! I am going to finally send the box with the trail cam and ammo in it today or tomorrow. By the way if you could PLEASE make the trek and put a trail camera up here that would be amazing!!!  31.593204, -111.110718 I know some bucks have got to be in there!! It will be a climb but I bet no other people get up there!! 

Well I love you tons!! Have a great week!
