Y'all
didn't see this coming.
The
good news is that despite recent attacks on France, the world-famous Marché de
Noël will still be happening in Strasbourg, the capital of Christmas. The bad
news is that I won't be around to see it.
That's
right, this Saturday we got transfer news. And they're booting me out of
Strasbourg. After just one transfer. In the mission we call that a "one
and done." For those of you keeping track at home, I have spent exactly
half the time in each ville as the ville prior--Antony, 4 transfers (6 months);
Liège, 2 transfers (3 months); Strasbourg, 1 transfer (1.5 months). I think
this means I may only get three weeks in my new area. We'll see.
So
my new ville is called Amiens. (If you wish to try to pronounce it correctly,
saying "umm-yeah" quickly may get you as close as possible.) I'm told
that everything good is happening in Amiens right now, as far as missionary
work goes. Baptisms, progressing investigators, working with members,
everything. The missionary I will replace talked to me on the phone just to
tell me that (basically to say "don't screw this up for us please").
I'm super excited but a little nervous for the responsibility. But they tell me
that Elder Smith, my new companion, works really hard so I'm excited to work
hard with him.
So...
umm yeah.
The
pins are where I've served. Just for you visual people.
Anyway.
A new adventure awaits...be sure to catch the next season of "I still
don't know what I'm doing but it's awesome and I'll do it anyway."
