The Last Transfer

So this week I started my last transfer. I'm tripping out a little bit. But it will be a good transfer. 
On Tuesday we dropped off Elder Lewis and picked up Elder Fife. I'll miss Lewis, but Elder Fife is a good guy. He is from Sandy, Utah and went to one of my rival high schools, Jordan, and we are different in a lot of ways. He's a die hard Ute fan, I'm a die hard BYU fan. He's a huge soccer fan, I'm a huge football fan. He likes Coke and Pepsi, I'm more of a Dr. Pepper guy, among some other things, but we get along. He's been out for about 13 months, so he's pretty experienced. We weren't able to have many teaching opportunities this week, but from what I've seen, he knows his stuff and he'll totally be able to take over the area after this transfer. 
This week we had some interesting contact attempts. We went to go contact a Bible referral we got and we drove all the way out into the boonies. We got to the address and couldn't find a driveway leading up to the house. The house was literally surrounded by soybean crops and had a tree growing through the front porch. So we wasted a lot of miles going there, but oh well. We also went to another house to contact a less active. We walked up to the door and there were spider webs EVERYWHERE. Usually spiders don't really freak me out too much, and I wasn't totally creeped out. But when you are standing on a porch, literally surrounded by spider webs and gigantic palm sized spiders, you get a little antsy. I wish I had taken pictures cause some of those spiders were nuts! But Elder Fife wanted to leave as soon as possible😊, which I understand. 
This week I also was asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting on the Book of Mormon, so I was chill with that. It's a pretty easy subject to talk on. I enjoyed preparing for the talk, and I think it went pretty well. 
So yeah, that's the week, Irma's gone, and we just got a little bit of rain and wind but nothing crazy. So yeah, love y'all!
