Transfer 3 week 4

Hey,
This week has been good, but slow. Kind of hard depression wise, but oh well. That's the downside to baptizing your investigators; you have to go find new ones. Haha. So Kylee is pretty much getting an overhaul? Haha. It's going to suck at first, but it's for the best. Just get it all out of the way while she's still covered. You did tell me about it.

I'm sorry to hear that relatives are passing away. But what great joy we can feel knowing what happens after we pass. The Plan of Salvation is real, it's also the plan of happiness. While we're mourning the passing of loved ones, we're mourning not being able to see them for a long time. We will see them again, though. The Lord and our Heavenly Father wouldn't put so much emphasis on families, then make it so that we couldn't ever see them again.
Also, new rule: Anything that I may have said before my mission, just go ahead and throw that out the window. Not relevant anymore. Haha.
Jared just shared a good experience with me about his Bishop. I don't know if he's shared it with you as well, so I won't say too much. But I will say that the Lord is going to call him to labor soon. I feel like he's going to go South America. I don't know why, but I feel like he's going to go foreign. You're right about having to get everything figured out.
Very cool about the Manti pageant.  Ben and his YM will be down there for the pageant some weekend as well. They're crashing on Grandma's front lawn. Haha.

Life in the mission is going to get a little interesting. We get a new mission president on July 1st. It's going to be hard to see President Smart go, but I'm excited for President Mullen and the changes that will happen. We're baptizing Vasti Gutierrez this coming Sunday, and I might stay in Woodcrest for this next 7 week transfer. We'll see this Saturday. I have mixed feelings about being transferred. I kind of don't want to be transferred because I love the ward, and this is Elder Allen's last transfer and I want to serve around him when he dies. He's such a good guy, I love that kid. But on the other hand I feel like my time is coming to an end in Woodcrest. We'll see where the Lord puts me.

Love and miss you guys,
