"Welcome To Work"

well howdy fam! man thats so good to see those pics of you guys! i can't believe taylor is home that's crazy fast! you guys all look like your doing good! well this transfer period was really weird with the new mission pres, hardly anybody got transferred. in my zone theres 18 missionaries. only 2 got transferred my comp and the other trainee. it was crazy, we were all super shocked and so people are going super long in some of their areas but i think i still hold the record for the mission right now haha. well it was crazy on transfer day, i didn't get to see anybody cause hardly anybody was there but it's all good, i got my new comp, elder penaranda. he's a filipino from laguna or something like that haha. i'm not good with places. but yeah it's good, haha i'll have to break him in cause we have to walk a lot in our area and he's really not used to it haha, i was getting some complaints about feet hurting and getting wet because the rain haha i just laughed and said welcome to missionary work elder. i'm gonna work those shoes right off his feet haha. some great things are happening in our area and i'm just having the time of my life, Heavenly father is really testing me right now with being here so long and with training again, but i'm up for the challenge, just gotta go to work, that's the secret! so that's really what happened this week, it was kind of slow because of all the traveling and stuff but we still were able to get some good work in and had a great attendence at church yesterday so we were excited about that! well i love you fam and hope everything is going great for you this week!
