Everyone:
Well, this transfer ends on Wednesday, so I may be in a new area and almost certainly with a new companion come next e-mail time. Depending on where I go, it may also be a Wednesday the next time I get to e-mail.
So, as for this week, on Thursday we had our normal weekly planning, and then we had a car-free day, so we had to walk over to my old apartment (which fortunately is not far from my current apartment) and pick up my bike. Before we did that, though, we got a call from some Spanish speakers who were visiting a relative of theirs in the Downey hospital that wanted a blessing, so we walked over there (also not a large distance) and gave him a blessing. After we picked up my bike, we tracted and had dinner.
On Friday, we had our normal zone meeting, and then we had Downey 3rd correlation. Then Elder Brixius went tracting with Alex Grow of the Downey 1st ward while Elder Monita and I worked on the programs for the fireside. On Saturday, we had Santa Fe Springs correlation, we practiced for the fireside, we tracted, and we visited a couple people we had invited to the fireside to see if they were coming.
On Sunday, we had church, and then in the evening we had the fireside. It went really well--the choir that sang was formed of missionaries and stake members, and they did a really good job. Elder Harper, one of our zone leaders, is very talented in the musical field, and he did a great job of organizing and practicing with the choir and everything. My part, the visuals from some of the church movies that were timed to coincide with parts of the songs, went pretty well. There were parts that were still rough, but that's just because we had to make do with what we had.
Well, we'll see what this next transfer brings. It's crazy that I've only got three more transfers here on the mission. Hopefully I'll be able to show that I've learned something.
