The best. sign .ever!

9/12/2016

So this week has been pretty crazy! The beginning of the week was just me and Elder Meyer working our hardest in good old Camira. We were having some crazy days where random crazy ladies roll up while you are door knocking and tell you to go away and never come back and that they will call the police and then we had some days where it was all going smooth and we were following up with potential investigators and doing some good work. 

Then on Friday (which was deep cleaning day or the day where we are all meant to clean up the flat extra good before transfers) we got a call from my last companion Elder Siliili and he was like... hey did you clean the flat really good today? and we were like ya... and he said, like REALLY well...and we said yup and he said like well enough that Camira is going to get white washed and new sister missionaries are going to come in... and we were like what??? At first we couldn't really believe it and we thought that he was joking because we called Alex Togia to tell him we were getting transferred and he was all, they are playing a joke on you, I know because when I was assistant we did that all of the time... But come Saturday night we found out for sure that it was true. 

So both me and Elder Meyer are transferred to Pimpama in Coomera which is near the Gold Coast. We are like reopening the area because it was closed for a little bit and so now here we are safe and sound in the Gold Coast! hahaha This was definitely not expected but we also heard that the new President McSwain made heaps of changes this transfer. 

Road trip to GOLD COAST!

So the past few days has been really crazy saying goodbye to all of the families and people that I have come to know and love this past almost 6 months. But we are excited to do the Lord's work here in Pimpama (pim-pah-mah).  Sorry that I probably won't get get a chance to write everyone back today because time is flying away really fast. And it took ages to upload all of those pictures. But I love you all and it is going to be fun. we heard that the ward here is also mostly islanders but we will have to see come Sunday I guess! 

But have a great week everyone!!
