July 14, 2008

Hi!

Well, transfer calls came in, and I'm headed south. based on available spots, I'll either go to San Angelo, or Brady (which would be cool, since I can still see Brownwood once in a while). in either case, I'll be in the same zone as before. Elder Jenkins is staying, and will spend his last transfer here.

I won't do much shopping, but everyone who's transferred gets the chance afterwards
which reminds me, tubes of Pringles are going for a dollar each! That’s pretty weird. Are they going out of business, or something?


I'm also getting a new set of scriptures. Mine are too big to lug around all the time. I wish I thought of that at the MTC, because there's a 40% discount there! Instead, it's over $40 to order it here. We have to call the secretary in charge of orders, and place an order; but he doesn't submit the order until he gets the money. I'm probably going to have to mail it to him; so it's going to be a while before I get it.

I'm also considering buying a digital picture frame. I never really liked those dumb things, but because we can't have computers, and I never really print out my pictures, that would be perfect. I'll just shrink down the photos on my usb stick once I get it back from you, and it won't take up much space. (At least, that's the idea)

I met President Robison on Tuesday. He’s really cool. He used to work in schools and as a coach, so he knows how to handle teenagers, etc. during interviews, he emphasized getting some exercise done every morning, so I'm going to be doing that.

Today, we're probably just going to sight-see, and visit members so I can say goodbye. I really wish they would tell us Saturday evening at least, so we can do that at church...

by the way, did you know the world's smallest city block is here in Brownwood?
We saw it - it was a triangle with one tiny building in the middle.
We’re going to get some pictures of it.

Anyways, I'm really sad that I'm not going to be around to see our neighbours get baptized, but seeing a new place can't be all that bad, right?

Talk again soon!

Love you!

-Elder Brandon Wong
