Transfers Again

So this week has been pretty crazy. So Monday night, after email time, we were driving home, and President called and guess what!? Elder Richins was called to be a zone leader in Greensboro, sad sad day. And guess what else? Elder Bingham got called to be a zone leader in the Charlotte Central Zone. So then Tuesday night we figured out who was coming....Elder Toone...oh boy... Elder Toone came out the same time as I did and look at us now...oh well. 

On Wednesday we went around so Elder Richins could say goodbye to all the awesome families in the Ward. Sad sad day.

 We spent the night at the Huntersville apartment and reminisced on some good times we had together. The next morning we got up and a member in the Huntersville Ward drove us all up to Salisbury and we did the transfers😢. I'll miss Elder Richins and Elder Bingham.

We got Elder Toone and Elder Guandinign  (?I don't know how to spell his name?) and we went back. Elder Toone is a good guy, he's just...quiet. Needless to say, I've had to take the reins in this area and do all the talking. It's kind of a big switch for me, but I'm liking the part of talking more. It's really actually kind of fun. We had district meeting on Friday. It went well. It turns out Sister Valentin is in our district now as well, which is kind of cool because Sister Valentin, Sister Vasquez, Elder Toone and I all came out together, we make up half the district and we are the oldest missionaries, too. It's my first district I've been in where I am the oldest missionary, (but three other missionaries are also). Anyway, It's good to reconnect with old MTC buddies like Sister Valentin and Vasquez. 

This week was pretty rough missionary work wise. We had a bunch of appointments lined up for people, but they all fell through, kind of sad. So we've just been running all over the place trying to contact potential investigators but we never seem to be able to catch anyone. 

This year for New Year's Eve, we weren't told to stay in our apartments, just be careful. So we worked all day, and we ended up getting stuck in the Uptown Transportation Center at 8:30 at night, because the bus that was supposed to take us home didn't show up, so we got to see a little bit of the craziness going on in Uptown. There was a very strong police presence and a lot of people walking around. We finally were able to catch a bus that took us close to our apartment, and we then had to walk a couple miles to get home. 

Church was yesterday. Our ward switched to 9:00 church now, so that was good, because it gives us more time to work afterwards, pretty great. Well, anyways, today we hung out with the Mtn. Island sisters and the Huntersville Elders. Elder Fox is having a hard time with Elder G (I'll just call him that from now on). I feel bad but there's not much I can do, just be his friend whenever we are together. Well, that's a wrap! Love y'all! Have a great week!
