As the subject line suggests, I'm finally getting transferred! I'm heading off to Moberly on Wednesday so I'm going from the most southeast areas to one of the most northwest areas! I guess it could be kinda different, but I hear it's basically the same as Sikeston. I guess I'll find out pretty quick here. My new comp is going to be Elder Turner. I don't know anything about him and neither does Elder Gordon so I guess I'll just have to find out for myself.
A couple more things that I have thought of that I could use are some arch supports, cuz my back has been hurting sometimes. So those would be nice. And maybe a couple pairs of shorts for when I have to do service on hot summer days. So maybe (and I know I said I wouldn't wear them) but maybe a couple pair like the ones that Kyle wears . . . like the plaid or whatever (don't know how to spell that).
Last thing I just thought was interesting is that there are armadillo out here. I didn't know that. I didn't think I would see any out here. I guess I haven't really seen any, except dead ones on the highway, but there are quite a few dead ones. So that's pretty crazy.
Well, we got the 11 year old baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday so that was good. Friday and Saturday we did some service with the Elders Quorum. We were reroofing a lady's house. We had to strip off all the shingles, get all the nails out, put down tar paper, and start the shingles. It doesn't sound like that much work, but it really is. It takes a long time and we both have some good blisters from the shovels. But I'm a professional roofer now! Unfortunately (or fortunately) we don't do our roofs like that at home so I can't/won't have to use that skill! lol
