I found out Saturday that I am getting transferred to the Kennewick Park Ward for my last transfer. When I was in Kennewick before I served in the Union Ward, so different area.
When I told the people in Ellensburg that I was getting transferred they were pretty sad. One family reminded me that I was coming to their house for Thanksgiving dinner 3 times then I finally told them that I was getting transferred. They said that it would not be the same with out me there and that they would miss me.
I finished reading Alma 42 today so I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish the Book of Mormon with 12 - 13 days left so I can finish reading "Jesus the Christ". I have 12 chapters left in "Jesus the Christ". We will see how I do with that goal.
We had one investigator at church yesterday and he seemed to enjoy it. We have a lesson with him tonight so we will see how it goes.
Well, that's about it for this week.

Things are going pretty well. We have found more people to teach and have 3 appointments tonight and 3 different members coming out with us so we are seeing things pick up.
We haven't found anything out about the muslims that we found but we are planning on stopping by them a few more times, so we will have to see what comes of it.
Transfers are next week, which means that transfer calls are coming up this weekend. I'm pretty sure that I will be staying for another transfer. I would be surprised if I get transferred, but we will see what happens.
I will be sending home a box of clothes since we are not aloud to wear anything that has a logo on it outside of our apartment. So be looking for a box in the next couple of weeks.
Well, I hope you have a good day. I love you.
Love,

Things went pretty good last week.
I had my last interview with President until my exit interview with him. It's starting to sink in that my time is almost up, so I've got to make sure to really make these last few weeks count and find those that are looking for the joy the gospel can bring to them. It's great to have been raised in the gospel by such good parents to help me understand the gospel and to help me live it. I've learned a lot while I've been out. I've learned how the Gospel can change lives, how the Atonement can help people over comes their trials.
We have a potential investigators who is Muslim. In order for us to teach him we have to get permission from the mission president. We also have to find out if he is going back east, why he is in the U.S. and if he is a permanent resident. We need to find those things out before we can teach him.
Friday we had lunch at the Institute building where we were able to talk with our YSA recent converts and investigators.
That's about it for this week.
I love you.
