Hello Everyone!

This past week has been crazy. Mainly because it was the last week of this transfer call. There are some pretty huge changes too!!! SO the changes for me are that I am no longer a Zone Leader. Starting today I am a trainer!! We are getting a new elder who is from Taiwan! A native Chinese speaker!!!!!!! The other amazing thing is that I will be in a trio. My other companion is Elder Mensink! He was my MTC companion, and it is even more intense because we will end our mission together! So we started and finished. I am so excited to train this new Elder! His name is Elder Chuang and we will be picking him up from the Mission Home tomorrow! This week we got the new pass along cards that Elder Bray and I designed and ordered. They turned out soooo well and everyone in the Branch loves them. This week Elder Bray and i were driving back to our apartment for dinner and we saw a ton of food trucks lined up in a parking lot so we decided to go check it out. It turns out they had the nations best food trucks all meet on one night and it just so happened to be then. We ate some pretty amazing food. Here are some of the types of food they had....Fish and chips (the fish instead of being breaded was rolled in Goldfish crumbs), Korean BBQ mixed into a Mexican burrito, Bacon wrapped churros, bacon wrapped PB&J sandwiches, sliders made with green apples. It was all very good, and then it just so happens the one ice cream food truck that was there was owned by a member and he gave us the ice cream for free! It was a pretty neat experience. This week we had a new student come to our English class, his name is Michael. Michael is from china and he is really interested in learning what we have to share, this last week we met with him to play some basketball because he told us he loves basketball....wow he was good. Turns out he used to be an announcer for China's NBA and he is very very good at basketball. He went out of town for a little bit but we are looking forward to when he comes back.

I am so excited for this new transfer! It will be full of awesome stories and a lot of miracles!

I hope your are all doing well!
