Week 58 - Mid Transfer Transfer??? (12/4/2017)

Elder Castellano and I
So this week has been a really crazy one to say the least. On Monday we had a good preparation day and I got to do a little soccer training which was nice to do. It definitely is a lot harder to play in a gym than on a field for sure. We then tried contacting some people that we had appointments for, but they all fell through. So we spent the night just contacting. Went back to our place and hit the bed hard cause we had to be up early to make a drive to Boise the next morning.

Our Christmas Tree
Tuesday we met up with Elders in Burley and hopped in their car and made the drive to Boise. Stopped in Jerome had breakfast and picked up Elders in Jerome and drove the rest of the way to Boise. We got to Boise and had a really long meeting about some things that will be happening in the mission which is pretty cool. We were in Boise for the longest time so we decided to have dinner up there before we made the three hour drive back to Rupert. As we were driving to a restaurant, we got a text from President Bartlett asking if we could call him ASAP. We called him and didn't answer. As we parked the car, he called. He was calling to let us know that a mid transfer was about to happen. Elder Farr would be going to Boise and I would be receiving Elder Castellano. He said he would call us that night to discuss further instructions. We were shocked to hear that. We were all thrown off. We had dinner and the entire drive home, we were trying to figure out why this was happening. Elder Farr spent the night packing.

Wednesday he finished packing and we had to be in Boise at 12 so we took off and made it there in good time. We performed the Transfer, had lunch and made the drive back to Rupert. I'm sick and tired of making that drive. Dad, I have no idea how you did it, but I commend you! We made it back to our area and just got to work. We found a really great new investigator making a contact. She is prepared and we are excited to meet her again today. We did a lot of good things and we then came back to our place so Elder Castellano could unpack.

Thursday we stayed in cause Elder Castellano was sick, like crazy sick it was bad. Did a lot of planning and studying.
Friday we had a pretty packed day. We had a lot of meetings taht we had to go to. We first had one in Rupert with the Rupert District. We then had lunch then went to Declo to have a meeting with the Declo District. From there we went and made a lot of contacts. It was pretty crazy. We then had dinner and after dinner, we got right back to work. We then went and exchanged with the Acequia Elders and I stayed in our area. 

Saturday was a good day. We worked a lot. We had a correlation meeting at 10:15 and we correlated about the stake and how things are going in all the areas. Then went crazy doing some area book work. Had a few referrals to hand off to the Spanish Sisters after all that work. We then grabbed some lunch and got right back to work. It was crazy how much we worked. We had some really good contacts and will hopefully have some good returns with all those that we contacted. We then exchanged back and Elder Castellano and I talked about our exchange which was pretty nice.

Snow
Sunday we had church and wow we were at church for forever. We went to three different sacrament meetings and then went to a lesson after church. Then from there we had to drive up to Elba to give a baptismal interview to a family I taught in Malta. It was really cool to see them again. Elder Castellano did all the interviews and it went all well. While all of this was happening, the weather outside escalated. It was windy and it began to snow like crazy. It then froze and became ice which was terrible. We then made the drive back to Rupert and had a late dinner. Then went back at it to work. We were pretty exhausted. It was crazy. 

Well that's how my week was. It was crazy and we enjoyed all that we did. It was pretty nice to see all of the little miracles that we saw this week and I know for sure the work we do is never wasted. I love you all and miss you all with this Holiday season. You are always in my heart and I love you all!! Hope you enjoy your week and remember, Christ in Christmas!!
