Transfers!

Chase is leaving his current address, but I don't yet have his new one.  Mail should be sent to the Mission Home (address to the right) until a new address is posted.

 

"Oh what a beautiful mornin! Oh what a beautiful day! I've got a wonderful feelin, everything's goin my way!"

 Well, not everything is going my way actually, I'm gonna be on bike for at least 6 weeks..... But hopefully afterwards I'll be as ripped as Hugh Jackman!  

 

Transfer calls were on Saturday, and it looks like I'll be heading to the Graham zone, Firgrove ward!  Pretty funny really, it's a neighboring zone, so I'm like 20-30 minutes (tops) away from my current area.  I'll be DL there, and follow-up training Elder G. I've met him once or twice, but I'm a little nervous. I love Elder B a lot, and I'm really gonna miss him.  

I'm kinda excited for the "week one fire" or whatever :)  Week one is kinda like New Years, and you make resolutions for yourself to improve, and you recommit yourself to be the best you can be.  I'm excited to get to know Elder G, and I'm excited to bring what I can to the area.  I love Fruitland, and leaving it is hard, but I've done what I came here to do, and I really really really feel that that's true.  If I was making my own transfer calls, I would have called myself to stay here where I'm comfortable, where I know what's going on, and where I'm happy.  Good thing our Father in Heaven is infinitely smarter :)  Maybe next week my email will be a sad one where i'm cold and wet and my legs feel like jello. (That was more of a prophesy than speculation.) But I know that I'm going there for some reason. 

 

I'm going to miss the Bishop here a lot, he's a huge role model for me.  However, he graciously offered to take Elder B and me out to dinner tonight before I go, which is awesome and I'm really looking forward to that. 

 

A couple recent converts and investigators were not very understanding when I explained I was leaving.

 

"Why didn't you just tell him you weren't going to go?"

"It's not that simple, someone else already knows they are coming here to replace me, where would he go?

"Not your problem!"

 

hmm.

 

Welp, next week I'll actually probably be emailing from this same library, but I'll be in a different place :)  It will be an adventurous week!

 

Love,

Elder Chase Lonas
