Dang it!!!!! Like really. I'm getting transferred again!!! only 6 weeks here in Northern Kentucky, the Promised Land. This was the one area out of the entire mission that I really wanted to serve in, so at least I got to be here for 6 weeks. That's a tender mercy. I am sad to be leaving after such a short time though. But I'll get over it, I know that I'm going where God needs me to be.
We have 2 people getting baptized this month, and 2-3 next month, so I won't be here for that, but maybe if I don't get transferred too far away they'll let me come see the baptism. I've been able to work really closely with them, that kind of stinks. But that's alright, it's just wonderful to see the Spirit change people's lives. So much joy in seeing people come closer to God. I love missionary work.
Don't really know what else to say. I will send out my new area and address first chance I get though!!! Keep me posted on how everything goes. I love you all!! :D

P.S. 2 pictures from right after zone meeting last Wednesday. Our amazing zone family, and then me and Elder Stepp, one of my good friends.
Oh yeah, part of our zone meeting was really sweet, everyone got blindfolded and set loose, all the lights were off and they got no directions on what to do. Just to "Pray if you don't know what to do." So there were a bunch of obstacles in the halls, and a huge obstacle course in the gym, and they had to just figure it out. The trick was, that you couldn't do by yourself. We'd only help them out if they got on their knees and prayed, and they had to do that every time an obstacle came up if they wanted to get through it. It was very cool, everyone had a very profound experience. We had a testimony meeting in the chapel at the end of it, and it was very spiritual. Way awesome. And I got to set up the obstacle course before Zone Meeting, and that was just super fun. I'm so mad I didn't get to be here longer!!! Grr. The next place will be better though. It always goes uphill. :D
