Best District... playin a little spikeball Tranferrrrrrrrs...
Still trying to decide if I like this. I am going to New Paltz it's pretty dang rural. Hey at least I get the crickets though! My companion will be Elder Tatafu. Finally a companion that isn't white and isn't from Utah he's from Alaska and is 7 feet tall. YESSSS. I swear I'm not racist and I love Utah. But people on the streets will give us grief for that kind of stuff hahaha! Elder Lusk is getting transferred too... to Yorktown. The week was a complete blurrrrrr but the highlights hmmm Lots of visiting members, and holy snowstorm. So much shoveling my hands are full of blisters... never had such girly hands... no more guitar no lacrosse and I wasn't using gloves either so that was fun! We happened to be on splits with the zone leaders that day and it was cool! Just went around helping people shovel their walks and get stuff done! Got an unexpected dinner and everything! We went and helped this old crazy guy clean his house. He really wants to get the Melchezidek Priesthood so we have been working with him a little it's kinda hard but I'm trying to be Christlike. We were in a trio for a bit with Elder Dick. Great guy. Mike knighted him as a missionary and it was pretty funny hahaha. So there will only be one set of Elders in our ward now. Elder Norton and Elder Visaya had the northern ward boundaries and then Elder Lusk and I covered the southern boundaries but now Elders Norton and Visaya cover both. So we got permission to have all four of us in our area and I went with Elder Norton and introduced him to everyone I could in our area and Elder Lusk went with Elder Visaya and introduced him to everyone he could in our area as well and it went very well! Now they know a lot of the people in our area! I very very much dislike telling people I love that I'm getting transferred... ahhhhh it's so hard! But I've made it a goal to treat everyone like I'm getting transferred the next day because we had a lot of spiritual lessons filled with lots of love and it was really good. Reynaldo blessed the sacrament yesterday and dang it was awesome. He had to do it twice but he went forward with faith! I was praying for him and just asking Heavenly Father to make sure he was in good hands and will stay strong in the church because while watching him up there bless the sacrament the spirit just testified to me that everything would be ok and just gave me the biggest feeling of peace and comfort. He will be a wonderful leader. I love him and I especially love this gospel and how INCREDIBLE Christ and his atonement is. I love it! I love you all so much! Thank you thank you! Elder Matt Murray
