This week has been pretty good.  It went really fast.  We didn't have a baptism this weekend and we were not able to meet with Alex.  We did try and stop by but he was never home and when we would call him he would never answer our calls.  Last week I mentioned that that we were seeing miracles.  I was referring to Alex, him telling us that he wanted to be baptized, which was pretty awesome.  We just have to get with him and that hasn't been easy.

Saturday, the mission president called and asked if I would except a training calling in a new zone.  I am being transferred to Wenatchee.  I will have to figure out the area and train a new greenie.  It should be an exciting adventure.  At least I had some experience with training so that will be helpful.  Wenatchee is a walking area, but I have found a bike already.  I got it from and Elder.  He told me that I could have it if I could fix it, so that's what I did this morning and I've almost got it fixed.  This elder said that he got it from a mission junk garage.  You can beat a free bike.  I've also been told that Wenatchee is a very mountainous area and it gets really cold in the winter.  It can get around 10 degrees.  THAT is cold.

When I told the members of the YSA branch that I was getting transferred some were pretty sad.  They told me they wished I could stay longer and they felt that my time in Pasco was too short.  After the meetings in the YSA branch, we had a missionary meeting and one of the sisters that we have worked with a lot walked in the room and said that she can't believe that I am being transferred, we work so well together.

Well, I love you.

Love,
Elder Poling
