Spring break in Virginia Beach

Hey everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell Grandpa Andreasen I received his e-mail and I appreciate it. He is a funny guy. I love all of our family so much I am praying that everyone is doing well.  I am so STOKED to be here. This has been the best 3 days of my mission. I'll tell you all about it. Transfer was great:) I love the new area. I love Elder Narramore. I got everything back. Yes. Yes.
 
Woo, that was a doozie,
I am going to attempt to answer everything you asked I feel bad when I leave things unanswered so here goes nothin:
 
I loved your letters this week thank you. I can just see everything that is happening to the wazoobies playing in my head while I read the letters. I love reading those letters. I have been emailing Andy Maughan back and forth too he's such a stud. Glad you got my package:) Ya that snake belongs to some members in hampton who had us over for dinner and I almost held that snake but she said it was angry after feeding and would bite me. I wanted to pull a Rob Dyrdek and put a shark suit on just to say I got bit but my dreams of being bit by a big orange snake will have to wait cuz I chickened out. Woah congrats to Shane ANDRUS!!!! woot woot!!! Tell him hi from me and I still have a letter from him that he sent our priests quorum. I read those often and they keep me going. at some point I'd like to write the quorum but IDK who to send it to. Let me know on that one.
Dad, I'm glad you liked that hat. And the sticker, I totally forgot about that. I do love this area, it has been refreshing. This is a huge area with some great potential. We have 3 set for baptism, Josh, Devin, and Sherrin, all in the Salem ward. Elder Narramore and I set David and Sherrin last night. They are the first people we taught together and it was great. They are married and living with less active members but it's so funny how these less active members are carrying on like they go to the temple weekly and they haven't been to church in months. They are great at doing missionary work and they feed us a lot but they don't feel the need to come I guess haha we'll see what we can do. We're hoping the baptism of their friends will spark them up.
Josh is a stud. He was going to wait for april to be baptized but he feels ready now so yesterday when we saw him we said, "let's just do it on saturday" he was like "let's just do it today" haha he's decided that in two weeks is a perfect time to do it' I'm excited for that.
The appartment I live in could not be better. I love it. DID I TELL YOU THAT ELDER MILLER IS LIVING WITH US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Elder Miller, MTC comp. He and his companion serve in Kempsville. We have so much fun every day driving our 2012 dodge van around teaching. I love this Mom and Dad I don't think I am coming home for another year and a half ok?
I gotta go but this has been truly amazing. I get to talk to the assistants a lot and Elder Wheelock is one of my favorites. He invites me to do something every time we talk and this week so far he has invited me to bless the life of a missionary in the area, and to also seek council from one or two missionaries on something I'm struggling with personally. I have seen my charity for others grow as I have saught council from them and we are building unity and trust with the missionaries around us. I love where I am right now, I get to cross paths with so many different missionaries and learn from them and bare testimony to them. It is AMAZING.
So also in the singles ward one kid just moved here in the Marines and he's 18 from parawon Utah (spelling) he gave me his military watch. It's so sweet. He's been out 6 months too and his twin is serving a mission. An instant friend who looks just like Layne Lawson and he gave me his watch. Look him up on FB and write him. Support him ok? just make friends with him he's a stud. He plays soccer too. Del Gull is his name.
Love,
 
Elder Andreasen
