Transfer to 三重

大家好!

This week was probably one of the best weeks on my mission! It was transfer week so all of the missionaries were going crazy wondering where they would go off to. This transfer actually mattered to us because we would be out of training and get new companions! I thought that I was going to be staying in Bali and Elder Hooker would leave because he's been in Bali for 3 transfers. When we opened up the transfer sheet though, it said I was leaving... It was a super crazy twist. I had to pack all of my stuff. I thought that I would he staying, so I had a bunch of food bought. He was super happy to inherit all of the food I couldn't take. 

My new area is called Sanchong. It's very different from Bali. Bali was a small town, and Sanchong is just a densely populated city. It has 10 times as many people as Bali. I have just been going around meeting a bunch of the members in the ward. Every time I go up to them and introduce myself they laugh because my Chinese name means:"Elder Money." They love it and laugh all the time. My new Companion is named Elder Welch. He's so awesome and his Chinese is really good too. We get along really well and the work is going well. He is actually on his last transfer on his mission. When someone is close to going home, they say they are close to dying. The missionary who is with them when they die is the one who "kills" them. It's pretty weird, but it's how they say it.

Lots of great miracles this week! Two investigators that they had before I got here just passed their baptismal interview. They are so great, and there is so much stuff going on. I'll send more information next week!
