Transferrrrssss...

 
We had transfers this week and now it's time for some change. I'm staying in the beautiful land of Foley, but this time with a new companion: Elder Daw. I don't know a lip about the dude, but that's what the whole transfer will be for, right? I haven't met him yet, he'll drive down to Foley tomorrow with Elder Bobadilla's new companion so I'll see him then. That's 3 whole transfers with Elder Peterson and it's been a whole lotta fun. He's hilarious and goofy as heck. Doesn't care what people say about him, he is 100% his full self. Super knowledgable about the gospel, I've always found comfort in that because I had no clue about really anything about the church I was raised in at the beginning of my mission. Guess that's what you get for skipping Sunday School half the time.

Woops. Sorry mom. 

 I love Elder Peterson, he's taught me so much, but I feel like I've reached a learning end with him and now I'm just ready for something new. All I know is that Elder Daw has been out for about a year and a half so he has a lot of experience under his belt. I'm so ready for what he can teach me with a resume like that. Anyway... what else. Uhhh, oh yeah. I've mentioned before that our mission does devotionals every Tuesday-Friday through Zoom, yeah? Well they're fantastic and kinda scary. They pick a couple missionaries beforehand to prepare a 5-10 minute spiritual thought and then, during the Zoom meeting, they also pick a missionary to do a story-time of a story in the BoM or New Testament. That's right on the spot, talk about fricken spontaneous. So yeah, we need to be on our toes otherwise that's public embarrassment in front of the entire mission. Yikes. 😳
 I've been studying a lot and a bit of my study time is put towards reading "Jesus The Christ" and that book makes my head hurt. It's a great book, don't get me wrong, amazing actually, but who ever wrote the dang book uses a lot of big boy words. The dictionary app on my phone has become my best friend ever since I started reading this book and my vocab is for sure expanding. So if you tell me your secret superpower is that you can talk to extinct animals and I say it's superflous; I think it's completely useless. 

Anyway, I'll let you know how the new comp goes. Let's hope for the best, yeah? 
Love y'all,
