Week 14: Crying Face :'(

Well, transfer call was on Saturday. Basically what it is, is a big conference call with everybody in the whole mission.  Everybody mutes their phone microphones (It would be crazy to have 100 phones on at once) and we listen to the President tell us what's happening.  We get to hear who is leaving their area and will need to pack up their things and come to a transfer meeting on Wednesday; we hear people who are entering leadership positions, training positions, and people who are coming down from leadership positions.  SO Elder Goldsberry is leaving :(

He's actually almost done packing all of his stuff. Most missionaries do it Wednesday morning, but he figured it's a good idea to be smart and pack everything beforehand.  I'm not sure where he is going, or who my new companion will be -- I won't find out until Wednesday -- so you'll have to stay tuned and find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z... I mean on the next installment of weekly emails from Elder Christensen. (Speaking of Dragon Ball, apparently they just started making them again... whaaaaaaaat????)

Well my picture game is still weak, lol. I PROMISE that I will take pictures this week, because I will be with my new companion and whatnot, so there will be tons of them. I'm not completely empty handed though, I do have a few, so here you go:

[Warning: If you have arachnophobia, ignore next photo.]

Random fun fact: Conference Sunday is my birthday!  Hahaha how cool is that?  (October 4th for those who were wondering). 

OH I almost forgot... The Maryville area is losing one of their cars... YAY!!! That means I get to bike around every other week, WOOHOO! (I'm not actually excited; I'm just trying to trick my brain into thinking I am.)  Conveniently enough, the other missionaries' car stopped working right as they announced that we were losing a car, so I guess that means our car will be staying.  There's like a giant hill right where our apartment is so I'm going to have to bike up that thing like every night. 

Well I don't want to keep complaining about having to ride a bike so I think I'm going to end this email right here.

Love 

Elder Christensen
