Transfer News... Sweet as bro!

Our flat is right in front of an amusement park so we took a picture.

Dear everyone,

Drum roll please................................................ me and Elder Meyer are both staying in Pimpama!!!! We are both excited to be companions again and we also have some really exciting news that the new chapel that was being built to be the new stake center in this Coomera stake is finally finished!!!  So the church is now only about 5 minutes away vs like a 30 min drive.  We are expecting to see some cool miracles happen here with missionary work due to the new chapel opening!! So all should be good with that. 

This week will be busy with us going around telling everyone about the new chapel. The only problem is that we don't have very many kilometers to use in our car for the rest of the month so it will be very tight this week how much we use our car... but oh well, the Lord will provide.  We just have to plan better and not get lost while driving. 

The week was very full with it being the last week of the transfer and having to do our flat deep cleaning, but we were still out there trying to get as much work done as we could. We weren't able to see our investigator Tenielle much this past week but when we did go, we went with one of the counselors in the bishopric Brother Berkett (a really tall Maori guy) and that lesson went awesome and he invited Tenielle to his home for dinner today so that should be really good! We are trying to follow the counsel that our mission president gave about packing the ward around her and giving her as much support as possible. It was also pretty good because on Wednesday we had a trade off with our district leader and I went to another area to be with the district leader's companion, so that was kind of nice to not have to be running the show but to let him take lead and such. 

a district photo (minus one Elder because he was too slow to get in the picture * notice arm to the lower right corner,haha)

Overall a pretty good week and we are sad to say though that the Elders that lived by us both got transferred out and there are no missionaries coming in so it's sad to see them go because we all became pretty good friends -but it is the Lord's way! Sorry I don't have any stories for the week. But I know that the Lord lives. The church is true, the book is blue, and we gonna baptize you! haha 

Love you all and have a great week!

"Sweet as" said when something is rather good instead of just "good" or "OK". Often followed by "bro".
