Hey Family!
Thank you so much for the letters! Its great to hear from everyone!! So, big news this week - Transfers. It was an obvious fact that Elder Vail was getting transferred, to the Meridian, Id area, to go home. So that pretty much meant I was staying here in south Metarie. We made a joke of "theres a 99.9% chance Im staying here" and Elder Vail, well versed in transfer suprises, said "president is known to pull out the .1% on people" Well, he did. I am being transferred as well, up to North Metarie. Coming in to this area are 2 elders named Elder Guerra, who was actually in this area about 7 months ago, and a brand new missionary, that Elder Guerra is training. I am a little bummed to be leaving, we have some good stuff going on, and some people with good potential. But, I'll be close by, and am supposed to go down there after transfers and talk with them about all the investigators in the area. It will be interesting. I will be serving with Elder Christensen, our district leader. He's a solid missionary, we gonna do work.
So this weekend was Easter, and some of you asked what I did. Well, we went to church, Duh! Something kind of funny happened in the morning: we had a ride with one of our investigators, and went were outside to wait on the sidewalk for him to come. Across the street at an apartment, there was a guy with a sound system and a DJ rack blasting some music. He had pretty good taste, so it wasn't bad, but pretty random. Just him, and his sound system on the back of his truck. In afternoon while riding around visiting people, we saw a ton of parties people were having with giant blow up houses, really at least 7 or 8. And when we got back to the Apartment the guy was still going with the music, and a bunch of kids were playing in a big blowup house there. We thought about going in and jumping around too, but not sure how that would have looked.
On Friday we had a movie night at the church. We watched the Joseph Smith movie, that is now in Spanish. We had alot of people there, and I think it went well. They were planning on doing it with a projector, but couldnt find it, so we just set up a smaller TV, and started watching it. A few minutes into the movie, the guy came in with the projector, and start setting it up. I went up and helped him, and we got it done pretty quick. I'm sure he would have figured out all the cords and patching the sound into the church system eventually, but, needless to say, he was lucky to have me there :)
We had a fun FHE the other night, we did a lesson and a game about the Sabbath Day, we wrote a bunch of activities down like "Going to church" "listening to music" "playing sports" "reading scriptrues" and then everyone drew one and we talked about whether we should do it on the sabbath or not. It was pretty fun. Sister Martinez, like always, made an excellent food afterwards.
Well, Im out of time, but love and miss you all!!
