Week 23- TRANSFERS!!!

Hey Everyone!

I cannot believe that it is already transfers again!! Time goes so fast! So because it is transfers again, I have a chance to be moving, so don't send mail to my apartment. Or at least do it soon. It has to get here before this Saturday, or I can't promise it will make it to me.

This week was good! We went on allot of exchanges again this week, so I don't have allot of stuff to report on from my area. The Alvarez family made it to church again. They missed two weeks or so and I was getting nervous that they went inactive again! But, things are still good with them :)

I did two exchanges in two different Samoan wards. It was AWESOME. I LOVE the people here. The Samoan people I shared a message with love the missionaries. They have ridiculous amounts of charity for us. It was really humbling. I have never eaten so much in my life. Thursday night for dinner was more than thanksgiving. For just me, they gave me a big ole steak, two giant turkey legs, two fried bananas, a turkey tail, two hot dogs, a big ole mango smoothie, two sodas, a ton of stir fry, a ton of rice and a ton of salad. I ate constantly literally from 5:00 to 5:55 non stop. Then they brought out dessert. By the time I was done, I took my last swallow and literally felt it hit the bottom of my throat. So, I figured I should probably stop now my stomach is literally full to capacity. So, I go and bike it off. That one meal kept me full from 5:30 on Thursday till lunch time on Friday. It was nuts. I want to serve in a Samoan ward. I'd be huge though... haha!

Alma 11:40 reads "And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else." That is about Jesus Christ. He suffered for each and every one of our transgressions, and he alone knows what you are going through. Reach out to him. Repent of your sins and inherit eternal happiness.

Love,
