So . . . I did end up getting transferred. My comp was called to be a trainer in our area, so I ended up getting transferred to the other state capital. My comp will be Elder Wooley. This is his last transfer, so I'm pretty sure this will end up being my last area as well and I'll only have one more comp after him, but we´ll see. I'm going to miss my old comp, Elder Leite. He was a great guy and we got along super well. It was really tough to say goodbye to all of the members and people that we helped and got to know there. There was a sweet old lady who really is a mean old lady. I'll send you a pic and you'll be able to see she is holding a huge knife in her hand. She sleeps with 2 knives under her bed to defend her children. But, when I told her that I was going to leave, she just broke out in tears and that was just super hard for me. But, the Lord has His hands in all things, so I'm sure there is a reason for this.
But other than that, things are going quite well. I'm pretty sad to hear all the news and things that are going on with Grandpa Tenney. I really want to see him again, and know that I will someday, but I think it just won't be in this life. What are a couple of years compared to eternity! In this mission, I have gained a much stronger testimony of the gospel and the plan of salvation. I have talked to many people from different churches, but no other church is compared to us in the plan of salvation. We are the ONLY church that preaches about the priesthood authority and how this can bind our families together. Grandpa was a very righteous man and for sure will be able to rest well after he passes to the other side. Sometimes during the day to day I forget a little bit of how blessed I am to have such an awesome family like I do. I think sometimes of what I did to deserve such an awesome and beautiful family. But, I've got to go - I love you so much and you have a great week.
