My New Area

well i finished training! and i got transfered! transfer meeting was great! i met alex Laurizten who went to Salem hills with me and that was pretty cool! and then we actually had the transfers! i was really curious because all of the elders in our four-man were making predictions on who was going to get moved! so as the meeting progressed and the choices got more and more limited i realized that there were only 2 spots left that i could go, back to poinciana or to pleasant hill north spanish! (which is just up the road to poinciana, still the same district!) and the guy who was in pleasant hill north spanish was also getting transfered and he had the same 2 options as well! it was CRAZY!!! we just swapped spots! my new companion is named elder Ashton Starks, some call him tony, or by his stage name ironman, and some just call him kirk, james tiberius kirk that is! ;) he is super cool! he grew up in Gunnison Utah and loves the outdoors. he is the second oldest of 12 kids in his family and his mom is still going strong! Take that Jansen Brockbank!! haha ;D AND the coolest part is that he was companions with my trainer right before i got to the mission! something unique about his mission is that he has had 13 companions in a mission only lasting 16 transfers, and he always seems to leave an area right before he has a baptism! (remember the girl, when I first arrived, my first baptism on my second day in the mission? yeah he taught her everything!) i love my area! its a little weird going from a branch back to a regular ward but this ward is really good and really missionary focused! AND i get to speak more spanish since we are only allowed to teach spanish people! YAY!!! also something else that is cool that happened this week was that i got to see mini-me's baptism! and i got to confirm him!!! i love that kid! it was the best! :D :D :D also...

Just this week we had a miracle with a self media referral where we called him and he told us that he wanted us to come over the same day! when we got there he basically said that, "i want to join your church! what do i have to do?" and so now he has already been to church after only the first lesson and we are teaching the other ones to him now too! really cool guy! Next week i will have pictures for you guys and just know that i love you all!!!! :)
