hey family!!!!

 so ya haha well Pres always seems to throw me for a loop ha. i thought for sure we were not going to get a call for transfers because we just got here and training elder sudbury. well.... he didnt want to split us up in the training, so he sent us both out haha. so me and elder sudbury are just traveling down to our new area together. i feel like a senior couple haha... its weird but im super  excited and sad to go.

last night we had a lesson with our investigator kathryn. she finally received the answer that she needed to hear and committed to be baptized haha. i still tell elder sudbury that its a curse i have, as soon as some one commits to baptism i get transferred out haha. i think its God way of saying work faster! haha its been so fun the past few transfers starting from scratch and finding people and teaching and commiting them to be baptized and seeing them grow so much. it is hard each time to leave, but i know it is for a reason. haha i pray the Lord will allow me to see one before i leave though, so maybe in this new area.

so we are getting transferred on thursday to nevada missouri haha weird missouri and its names. haha its right next to Pittsburgh Kansas though haha. it will be super fun.

     so this week we finally got to work on the farm!!!! the dairy farm, it was so awesome!!! we didnt get to milk a cow though haha. we just got all this humming bird nectar and put it in this big tub to give to the cows. its a cheaper way for energy for the cows. he gets it for free ha. and this season because of the drought, corn and good feed is super pricie. but! i got to ride a huge tractor, like a firefighter ha and walk around in cow poo!!!! it was awesome! haha. and im so sorry i didnt get any pictures because i forgot my camera and i thought for sure we would be back!:( so i will just have to take pictures with the family and the cows and remember the memories. and i figure i will be back sometime :) ha

  this week was super fun though, a great last week in cassville mo. we will hopefully be able to make a smooth transition with the new senior couples that will be coming into the area. so NO ONE is left behind or slips in the cracks.

Christmas is going to be great !! we are going to have a big zone christtmas party with games and learning its going to be awesome im super excited!! im ready to take on this new area and do all that i can to keep up with elder sudbury and finding and teaching and going about doing good. ha being a do gooder.
