The past few days have been fun. On Friday we had a district dinner at the Candland's in Alamo. E. Canland is a welfare missionary and comes to breakfast at the Halverson's sometimes. Anyway it was a GREAT night! I don't think I've laughed as hard on my mission thus far. The sisters in our district are AMAZING! Then yesterday (Saturday) we went to the VC with James. It was good. We watched Testaments and walked around. After he took us to this Spanish market and we got these Mexican popsicles. I got a cucumber chile flowered one (pretty weird) ad then a strawberries and cream one (so good!). It was good times. That night we ate at the Shefield's and then came transfer calls! The verdict is that I'm leaving beautiful Zion (San Ramon). It has been great here, but it is time to move on. I'm going to serve in the Marsh Creek ward in Oakley or Discover Bay or something. I'm going to be in a three-some. Weird huh?! My companions are E. Kamsah and E. Oullette. It's all about the attitude. My goal and what I want to keep in mind is a positive attitude and confidence. It may be a little rough transitioning to a new area but it's going to be a great learning experience. I feel my testimony growing and things are going to be great. Today was kind of sad as I said farewell to all the AMAZING ward members here in San Ramon and our investigators. Change is good, and I can do anything with my Savior. Learning to trust and follow Him is what I'm doing and will strive to do my whole life.
