Well transfers finally came and.........I got transferred to Payette. I'm with Elder Dees from Florida. I was in his district when I was in Declo and we are really good friends and it should be a good transfer or two. I'm still junior companion and he is district leader. This is now my 3rd companion for me to be dl with. I'm bumbed I'm not senior, but its totally worth it to be Dees companion. I had to get up at 5:30 and drive two hours with stops here. I'm pretty tired because I was up late packing last night. I'm in a car area now which is really nice because my knee was really starting to bother me off and on the last three months. The bike riding did keep me fit, but I've been eating really healthy for the most part and there is a track right by our apartment that we can run in the morning. We live in an apartment by ourselves. It's attached to a senior couple, but there is no access to the connected house. It looked pretty nice for the moment that I saw it.
Supposedly, there is a lot of good work going on in the area and we should have some good success here. It's a small town of 2,000ish people and we also cover Fruitland which is right next door. It wasn't too hard to leave the area. There was a lot of good work that went on, but I never connected with too many people. It was a good area and I learned and grew a lot, but I was fine leaving. Hopefully, I will be able to come back for the three baptisms that we should have in the next couple of months. That is the update for all that went on in the last couple days. It was pretty lame the last couple days because on Friday and Saturday all of our appointments cancelled and we weren't able to make any progress the entire weekend, so not reallly the way I wanted to say farewell. I will miss the people that we live with. They were so cool and amazing! Mom, Elizabeth Poulsen sent you a picture to your phone and said she never got a response and wanted to talk with you, so I gave her your email as well.
The two funny stories for the week were first during one of our lessons last week, a lady said, "Oh Lordy," just like Grandpa Larsen. I have never heard anyone else say that and it caught me off guard. Also last night, we were out visiting people and we were coming up on a busy intersection and I was talking on the phone using my right hand. So, of course I needed to slow down (going about 15 mph) and my left brake on my bike was shot, so I tried to use my left hand to stop with the right brake and the momentum switch made my bike go down. But the amazing thing was how I was able to keep on my feet and was still talking on the phone while this all was happening. I don't know how I didn't crash, but it was some sweet ninja moves on my part. So I went three months with never crashing and falling on my bike. I call that a successful area.
You probably heard, but the Boisie Temple will be rededicated November 18th and will have an open house Oct 13-Nov 10. I'm so excited for it to be open and so we will have two temples in operation in the mission. Well I think that is about it for the big news. I can't believe that Taylor will be married the next time that I get on. I got Cale's wedding announcement and it looks great. Too bad I won't be able to RSVP. Hope all continues to go well and I'm just out here doing work :) Peace and blessing!
