Well I guess I will first start out with the big news. I am getting transferred! But I’m not getting transferred very far at all. I'm going to Pembroke, VA. I have been there many times for meetings. It is where the stake center is in this stake. What happened is, our mission president decided to merge two zones together and make one giant zone. He asked me to stick around a little longer in this zone to make sure everything goes smoothly.
I'm excited though! My new companion is Elder Wilkinson. He is from Utah as well. He has been out for six months and has never been a zone leader so I get to help show him the ropes! I love him--we are going to have such a fun transfer! I'm looking forward to it. The new Pembroke Zone is massive! There are almost 40 missionaries that are in it. It is going to be interesting. . .
My new address is. . .
517 Mason Court Dr. #4
Pearisburg VA, 24134
So it is always sad leaving an area! That is one of the hard things about a mission. We made all the rounds yesterday and said goodbye to most of the people we have been working with. It is a bitter sweet moment!
We did go out with a bang though! This last weekend we were at the Miller’s for dinner. (I'm really going to miss that) and we decided to make plans and have a get together on Monday night. We were thinking of things we could do to invite less active members and such. So we decided to kill one of the Bishop’s pigs and throw him on the grill and have a pig roast West Virginia style!
So we went over the next day and bishop shot a pig and we helped skin it and get it ready to be cooked. It was one heck of a job! The pig weighed 130 pounds! We were exhausted after all the work was done.
It was a fun get together though. One of the funnest I have been to. We had a fire going and of course many grills and a lot of people from all around showed up, mainly nonmembers that the Millers invited. It was a blast, such a great way to end the transfer! It was very hard saying goodbye!
I will miss this area. I have loved how I always learn a great lesson in every area I serve in. The Lord taught me patience while I was here! That was the greatest lesson I learned. To be patient with the work and with my companion and with some of the people we worked with. I loved every minute of it though and have memories I will never forget!
I will talk to everyone next week! I love you all and Keep the Faith!

P.S. The pictures are from the Miller’s this weekend. We had a fun tractor ride and when we killed the pig. Sorry if this grosses anyone out!
