     I am back in Iriga zone! I don't have favorite zones but if I did it would totally be here. Things have been pretty wack but I've been having a good time and working hard. Mom says the day by day format is good so here we go. 

     Monday: It was a pretty normal day. We just had a good time and then told a couple members and people that we are teaching that I was being transferred. The exciting stuff happened at like 9:15 at night. I am packing my bags and President calls. So he tells me I am training!! Like an idiot I say but I am transferring. Luckily President is super nice and just goes I guess you'll open an area. So yeah open area training. its a blast. 

     Tuesday: I head down to the mission office and say goodbye to elder Olayon. He wrote me this super nice note about how he has really learned from my example and thinks I am a great missionary so that mad me feel cool. Then because I had a day until all the new missionaries arrived I got to work with Elder Rigby. Man that was super fun. He is a great missionary and we had a blast teaching people in his area even though there was this one lady who had a really hard time accepting the fact that you can't be half one religion and half another. 

     Wednesday: We had some meetings and stuff at the mission home about how we need to be perfect missionaries and about how we can make or break a new missionaries mission. So yeah a little pressure. Then I met my new comp elder Wilkins. He is from North Salt Lake and is just like I was in my training.   I have been working with him and day by day he is getting a little better. I can't blame him he is in a pretty crazy world now. We have a brand new house which is really nice but didn't have a whole lot in it so we are working to get it all supplied now. 

     Thursday: We did weekly planning (which was a joke I hadn't even worked in the area...) and then our District Leader, Elder Dita, worked with us to help us figure out the area a bit. That was fun and turns out not only is it a brand new area but the branch is only like 2 weeks old as well. But they are super excited and we have really felt their support.

     Friday: We had district council and then went finding for the entire day. Lots of walking and a little teaching but it was a good time. 

     Saturday: Basically the same thing. Lots and lots of finding not a whole lot of lessons but a really good time. We did have a branch activity where we got to go ministering with a couple members. That was really fun. 

     Sunday: We don't have church until 1 because there are 2 other branches that meet in our building but church was fun. Elder Wilkins and I both gave talks (that was our language study everyday.) and they went really well. After church it was finding again which went really good and we got some lessons in.
