Hey wonderful mother of mine hey yes I did get to go to the Memorial Circle and it was so awesome to be able to go there its so freaking cool over there. They have these really cool lights that light up the tower at night and they also have a big fountain in the middle of the circle, like the one out in Fountain Hills, but at least a 100 times cooler yea. Anyways so I have a big announcement, I'M TRANSFERRING!!! Yea it does sound like I'm glad I'm leaving but at the same time I'm really sad cause I have already grown to love the members in the ward and all the investigators and less actives that I have been able to be in contact with so today I will be going to members houses that are my recent converts house and get their addresses so that I can write to them to keep them going in the church. Other than that its what happened this week other than what I will talk about now.

   So yea this last week we had alot of things that we had to do this last week. So yea it really turns out that I will be leaving this area with an impact cause so many of the members have said that I will be greatly missed for all that I have done for this ward with both Elder Burgan and Elder Hopkins. Its been a great 3 transfers in this area and I'm really excited to see where I will be going next. I don't know if you know but both my comps from the MTC are training this next transfer. Elder McDonald and Stallings are training its so stinking cool to see them doing such great things like that early in the mission its so cool. I don't know much else but alot of things are going down in this mission cause its such a young mission here. So they really want the younger missionaries to step to DL's and trainers, or maybe even just Co Seniors. Its crazy but I'm really excited to see where I will be going to my next area. I'm really hoping to transfer to an area with province areas, cause I'm already sick of the city. I love the city don't get me wrong, but i don't enjoy getting jeepney smoke in my face everyday. Its actually really masarap(delicious) but I love it here in the mission. Yes I'm really excited who I get as a comp. I'm really hoping for a Filipino cause first of all all my comps sop far have been American so I would really like a Filipino cause when we walk we will be speaking in Tagalog and not in English, something that I really want to do and it will get me better at Tagalog. O yea by the way Tagalog you thought it was the same as Spanish NOT EVEN CLOSE!! It has some words from Spanish but the sentence structure and grammar are totally different. Its tough but I'm really starting to get the hang of it. Yea it still stinks to not be fluent but its getting alot easier as the days go by. What else yea I will be loving my new area and I will be praying for both Dad and Addy. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
