I was transfered. I will be transfered to Matola to work with Elder Marlor. He just got here last transfer so he's pretty new but I'm way excited to work with him. Everyone says we have the best area in the mission so I'm way excited to work there. The area is a richer area, with houses and stuff. But Matola is really hot and sandy. There isn't much jungle here in Maputo more like plains and stuff. I'm excited though. I think there are prepared people there and I'm way excited to get out and find them! It's like 30 minuets out side of the city, so we're still close. And we have bikes!!!!!!! FINALLY!

Today was kinda ruff, we had to do embassy runs and spend lots of dollars on visa stuff. I always feel bad spending so much of the Lord's money even though it is to progress the work and stuff and that's what it should be used for, I just kinda feel bad about being the one who did it. I don't know it's kinda weird. Also Elder Wily and Elder Jensen (my old comp) arrived at the airport earlier today, but I forgot they were coming so no one was there to pick them up! oops. I drove them out to their old area to apologize but they weren't mad or anything. It was good to see them again. They are both going home on Wednesday. Elder Wily was my district leader in Manga and Elder Jensen was my comp.

There are a lot of things I will miss about the office though. The branch I was in was really good and worked really well. Also we have a lot of good members who I really liked, I'm going to miss them but I'll be back for all the baptisms and stuff so I'll still get to see people all the time! This week it was kinda sad saying good bye to all my investigators and recent converts. For the most part I really liked the branch. It is one of the strongest ones I've served in.

It was good to hear that I would be transfered. President told me in my interview that I would be transfered but he didn't say where. But I'm very happy with my new assignment! Also, this puts me in a good position to train Elder Graham when he gets here! A lot of times if there are 2 missionaries who are from the same city or something, Pres lets them train the new one. So I hope that I get to do that, that would be way cool! I want to have that kind of relationship with another missionary like I have with Elder Okazaki. It would be really cool and I would love to train him!

Hey I have to go, we still have some things we need to get done before we go to bed. Thanks! Love you! miss you! talk to you on mothers day! Thanks fam!!!

P.S. Hey I gave your email to Elder and Sister Cox. They took a pic of me getting my hair cut just barely and said that they would send it to you! They also do this news letter thing and they said they would put you on the list!
