Ayeee transfer week!
So Friday night we got calls from leadership
about transfers. As expected, I'm getting transferred! Most
missionaries don't spend more than 3 transfers in one area so it was
about due time for me to move! Anyways, getting shifted over to
Melrose, Roseburg. Its about an hour or two south of Eugene, then just
west of Roseburg. It looks pretty similar to what Veneta is like
according to google maps! But I hear from other elders that Roseburg
in general is pretty ghetto so yeah, idk. Anyways, I'm sad to be leaving
Veneta, I truly do love the people and the area very much. I will miss
it immensely! My new companion is named Elder Flake, and I don't know
much about him but yeah! So yeah, theres transfer info! Now I have to
pack which stinks.
Anyways, this week was filled with seeing people and saying my
goodbyes so it was bitter sweet! Nothing too crazy happened,
we had some good lessons with a new investigator we found tracting.
She's a senior at the high school, and is friends with a lot of the
youth here, so we're pretty excited for her. On Sunday I visited many
of the members who I am going to miss a lot, and took pictures with
them all! They all wanted me to come back to visit, and really were
going to miss me. It's weird to be honest. I never had a baptism, we
only got a handfull of people to church and never had a miraculous
experience but the ward loved what I brought. Not sure what I did
bring to them, but it's nice to see their appreciation. I really
appreciated that!
Now it's transfer morning. I'm sitting in the van with other elders
headed to Roseburg. A lot of the missionaries that I came out with but
didn't know are going there as well so it will be cool! It's about an
hour or so from Eugene to Roseburg so its not too bad. Anyways, I'm
typing this out so I can send it when I hit wifi again!
Love,
Elder schick
