Last district pic
Well, I'm getting transferred again.
So first let me tell you about the week. This was a pretty slow week. We had to move Monday night to a new apartment so that took up the rest of the day. We had a ton of appointments fall through, so that sucked. We did have some really good stuff go on. We were able to get a lesson with a member whose daughter hasn't been baptized. It's taken a while, but the lesson went well. We also could teach the Sosa family about keeping the Sabbath Day holy and we're hoping next week they'll be able to come to church since they couldn't yesterday. We finally got a second lesson in with Miguel, the super cool guy who found us a week or two ago. It was interesting, but also a ton of fun. He is super prepared, but there are a few problems we have to address.
So, after 6 weeks here in Ponderosa, I'm getting transferred. It'll be my fourth area here in Bakersfield since I showed up in May. Thursday night I got a call letting me know I'll be a district leader, and then Friday the transfer board came out. I'm going to a place called California City. I don't know much about it honestly. My new comp will be Elder Coates. I'll be meeting him at the mission office tomorrow. That's all I've got for now.

bits and pieces from family phone calls:
We looked up California City...population about 14,000. It's mapped out with roads in for thousands of homes and neighborhoods, but it was never finished. I'm sure it will be interesting.
The weather will definitely be colder there...today the high there was in the 50s.
I'm hoping I stay in my new area for a few transfers...I've moved around so much my whole mission.
Everything is so good. Crazy to think I've just got 5 transfers to go!
