"You are now on decka nine"
OKEY DOKEY DIVE RIGHT IN!!! My last two transfers will be on a bike in Historical Yorktown. I get to bike through Civil War battlefields every day and there are tons of people down there. Just one companion and one area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's in the Chessapeake mission which means my departure date will now be another week early. Don't know exactly AGAIN but it's probably August 20th. Originally it was September 4th, then in the VRM the transfer schedule changed so it would be August 27th, one week early, now I will be coming home from the Chessapeake Virginia Mission and the transfer cycle is one week earlier still. So my guess is August 20th for now and we'll have to see. My new mission President will be President Baker. I will only see him twice, once at Mission Conference in July and once in my exit interview.
Dad, thanks for your advice on enduring to the end. I needed it. I talked to my new companion last night (Elder Neilson) and I told him that I am sending home all of my stuff except my quad and my bike and he said "wow, this is like a dream" haha he sounds way funny and from what I have heard he is a hard worker. I am excited to serve him and love him up and have the best transfer either of us has ever experienced. My new address is
1200 Piccadilly Loop Apt. G
Yorktown, VA 23692
Louis is doing well. He is progressing. This week we had two lessons with him. I wasn't there for the first one, Elder Canova and Elder Moffett taught him the Law of Chastity and he loved it. We taught him last night as well and asked him what his next step is. He said he is still working for baptism and he wants to come to church so we just set some small goals for the week and plans to get to church and come read the book of mormon with him. He walked for 30 min with a walker this week. If he gets baptized I won't be here for it. I can't come back from Chessapeake. No big deal, We can visit him if we come back. I really love him. Did I tell you about the time we went over there when his nurse was helping him get dressed and they were listening to that country song "I may be a real bad boy, but I can be a real good man" it was playing way loud and louis was just rolling around in his wheelchair singing "I may drink too much and play too loud, hang out with a rough and rowdy croud" hahaha and really he only hangs out with the elders and a bunch of old people in the nursing home. i am going to miss going over there to see him.
Our other investigators aren't doing so well. We dropped KC yesterday, she understood. She has had missionaries coming over for 3 yrs, and really she just likes the company. We don't have time to spend with people who just like the company. It was nerve racking though, I felt like I was breaking up with her. (I had to be the one to tell her, everyone else was too chicken)
