Another new companion already

The first photo is Kodren and his (now former) companion looking cool in matching ties.

The second photo is Kodren and his new companion looking decidedly uncool.

The final picture is the elders and sisters in his area right now.

Wow things sound crazy there, I am so sorry that things are so weird and crazy right now. I miss home and I am missing our strange ward but you know that I’m weird hahahahahahaha. I was a problem I was the weird kid growing up.

Things here are going pretty good here it has been a crazy week. It started out normal and then about halfway through there were two elders that were visa waiters and their visas came through so they left and went to the Philippines. So we were left with three missionaries, me, my companion, and an elder named Elder Brown and on Friday night we got transfer calls. I got transferred to be with Elder Brown so I had to move. It was hard, I really liked the ward I was in and the members were super cool so its been hard moving but this is what the Lord has planned for me. I moved three buildings down I’m in the same complex still same zone and same district haha. Canyon Crest Ward is right next to Woodcrest so I am really close to being in the same place but I don’t attend in the same building. The sign language elder is still in my zone and Elder Brown wants me to teach him some sign so that is pretty cool. It's hard, I have been here for three transfers and I have had a different companion every transfer. That usually doesn’t happen. Elder Brown and me will be good I think. Things are so hard and it just keeps getting harder. Right when I start to figure something out, things change, but I am learning. We are still in a car. Elder Brown is not allowed to be on bike hahaha. Elder Brown is probably driving, we don’t know for sure yet.

In my old ward I got to visit a less active guy and his name is Garret and he is real cool. I had a very strong feeling from the spirit that one of my purposes in being in that ward was to not only get others to come to Christ but get others BACK to Christ so we worked with a lot of less actives and it has been cool. But now I’m moving on into the Canyon Crest Ward and I will try to put that same idea to work and get busy with the less actives.

You are right about President Hammon, I love him, he is amazing. Did you hear that Elder Keetch of the Seventy died? When we heard he passed that was pretty hard on all of us since he was here and spent some time with us in November and we all really loved him.

I got your picture from seminary class! It’s kinda weird but I miss seminary haha. I have been working out like crazy cause I’m tired of being fat so that changed. Oh, I need a backpack for my grab and go bag. I didn’t feel the earthquake, I slept right through the whole thing but I did get a wake up call that I need a grab and go bag. It really feels wrong making an emergency bag and not putting a knife in it!

Love you!
