Transfer are here and I'm staying! But my two companions will be leaving me. Elder Linney is going to Pinon and Elder Viola is going to Crownpoint. I am getting Elder Hansen.
Not too much happened this week. One exciting thing though, there's a man here who just randomly started attending church and has been coming for 2 weeks in a row so far! He wants to start taking lessons and go with us to visit some people.
Other than that, this week was pretty boring. I'm excited to see my new companion, though! I am going to be working in Gallup tomorrow for a few hours with two of my old companions, Elder Stead and Elder Adams. The reason I'll be working in Gallup is that Elder Hansen will not be arriving until later in the day, so to keep me busy I have been assigned to work in Gallup for about 2 1/2 hours. It should be fun!
Thanks for reading my email, sorry to those of you who were waiting for one last week and nothing came. It's a little harder to keep up with emails now that the new policy is in place about talking with families. Hagoónee!

I gave it to Elder Linney, but I am going to miss that thing!

We did some Facebook chatting on Pday...
Yesterday I was reading in Alma 33 ish and I came across Zenos. It talks about his life a little while he is praising God and Jesus Christ. We don't have his book, but we can discern a little bit about what his life was like and what might have happened to him from some of the passages in the Book of Mormon. It talks about Zenos being in the wilderness at one point, and it also talks about how he had enemies but the Lord "turned them to me [Zenos]." It also talks about how he "did turn to [his] house". So maybe he had some beef with his household or something. It also says he was cast out and despised by his enemies, but the Lord heard Zenos's cries and visited his enemies "with speedy destruction." On top of these few details in his life, I also found out that Zenos was the one who prophesied of 3 days of darkness and also is the one who wrote the olive tree parable in Jacob 5.
Why are you wearing a tie on P day?
We have to wear proselyting clothes in public in most cases, and I'm at the point where my pros clothes are just as comfortable as my other clothes. A year and a half of missionary service kinda makes you feel meh about changing back and forth into different clothes.
