Hey mom,

Things are going pretty good here. Transfers are today and my companion is the new Assistant to the President. It was funny to see him take that phone call. Especially the situation that we were in when he took the call. But now I am getting Elder Mitchell. He was in my MTC group and stayed in the same dorm as me. I remember that he sleep talks a lot.

Currently I am up in Florence waiting with Elder Griffin, Elder Benard and Elder Hansen while we wait for our companions. Elder Hansen is getting a different Elder Griffin Benard is getting Elder Charlson and Elder Griffin is getting Elder Bagley.

Lets see exciting things that have happened this week. We have an investigator who we have been working with who said that she might have been baptized so we looked in to it and found out she was 37 or so years ago. So well now the plan to get her baptized is over all we have to do is get her active again. So we have met a lot of cool members lately. The only bad side is they are way to use to the missionaries just hanging out so that makes it hard because we actually do are job. We have been trying to work with a lot of the members to do missionary work which has been going good for the most part. Some have been good some have been terrible. We had dinner with a single sister and another family (mother and son) who is our age. Afterwards we tried to do this presentation so that we could have them do missionary work but it didn't go all that well. Every time we see the Single sister who is in her 70's or so she always talks about her mission. I didn't mind hearing about peoples missions before but now it's like okay that's great but move on. So while we were talking about something she would say "On my mission..." and then bring it way off topic. So it was super frustrating. But we got through it.

So when I get back to North Bend I will hopefully send pictures. Last P-day we went to the beach and checked out the sea lions. we got bubbles for christmas so I wanted to show some to them. Lots of fun. 

Yesterday we went to the same place because some members in coos bay ward had a bbq and invited us for a little going away thing for covey and reed. So I will email a picture of them too. anyways thats pretty much it for this week.
