The New Transfer!

Huff & Murray
Monday was the last day with Elder Murray😭. It was sad. On Tuesday morning we got picked up by Brother Freeman and we loaded all Elder Murray's stuff into his Buick station wagon. We then drove the hour or so drive to Salisbury where we met at the church building there. A ton of Elders and their rides came to that church building. I was even able to see Elder Washburn and then Elder Nelson! That was pretty cool. Then Elder Murray and I said goodbye and he went up to Danville. (I'll get to see him today though at a zone activity, so that's cool!) Then I said bye to Elders Hulet and Randall, picked up Elder Skinner then drove back to Summerfield! He's a lot different than Elder Murray, but he's chill. He's really good at talking to people so that's fantastic, because I am still a little awkward. He's not as clean as Elder Murray though, but that is easily remedied. He's a great guy, and it's fun to serve with him. It's also fun to reminisce about the good'ol Concord/Kannapolis days. It's so weird to think how long ago that was. I just caught myself this morning talking about Need for Speed Rivals with Elder Skinner and I was telling him it maybe came out about six months ago, but then I realized, I was on my mission at that time! I have that game at home and had it for a couple months before I left for my mission, so it's probably been at least a year! Time is really starting to fly. Ever since May hit it's been a blur. Before I know it, I'll probably be in another area and I'll be 19 years old! I don't want to hit 19! I like being 18! Oh well! 
We did a lot of drop bys this week to introduce Elder Skinner and I think the ward will really like him. Talking to people comes so easy to him. He seems like a pretty good district leader and we had a pretty good district meeting this week. Our district has totally flopped! Elder Skinner and I call it the sistrict. Other than the zone leaders (who rarely come to our district meeting anyway) we (along with Elder Sagers I guess) are the only Elders. We have two companionships of sisters! Yikes! 
Well, not much else happened this week, we're just driving around, trying to get Elder Skinner accustomed to the area as quick as we can because we think I'll be getting the boot this next transfer! I'll actually send some pictures this week, unlike last week when I forgot. Love y'all!
