Hi!

How's it going?

The new transfer has started off right. The new missionaries in our ward are Elders Pyle and Hardy. I already knew both of them. In fact, Elder Hardy came out at the same time as me (we were in different MTC districts).

I may not be raking leaves in freezing cold, but we did get a cold front this week. It dropped to freezing last weekend, and we actually had to turn on the heat. Now, it's, for the most part, a comfortable temperature. Texas is bad with that, though. The weather changes every couple hours or less. I've heard stories of individual days that can be over 100 degrees, have rain, and have snow, all within a few hours of each other.

By the way, every time I change areas, I try to get a "Change of Address" form. If you put on the envelope somewhere, "Forwarding Service Requested", then they will send the mail to the new place. Sending through the office is really slow, and I've heard bad stories of letters and especially packages being opened, stolen, etc. I doubt that happens very often... but still.

Anyways, the work here is great. I'm not sick anymore, nor is Elder Goodfellow, and we have some great people to teach. Also, we might do a Black Friday and holiday season thing where we set up a stand somewhere, hand out hot chocolate and pass-along cards and answer questions. Any (time) where people actually come to you is okay with me. ;)

Anyways, hope you're all doing alright.

I love you!
