Well, another week has gone by. Crazy how fast things go. This Saturday we have transfer meeting again. I can't believe that it’s already here. Smoot and I are both certain that we'll stay together for 1 more, and then we'll get changed, so I'm looking forward to another transfer with one of the MTC guys. It ought to be a good one. It’s super weird. We're going to be in our 12th transfer. Like in the mission you go through phases.  Transfers 1-3 you are new, 4-7 you are an experienced junior/inexperienced senior, 8-11 you are in your prime and then 12+ you are dying. So we're going into the 12+ grouping. Super strange. It doesn't even feel like we've been here that long. I’m finally getting a hang of the language and things are going well. I think when I finally leave Beira, things will go by even faster. I still haven't switched zones yet, and so I still feel like I'm new because I'm in the same place. So we'll se what happens in a transfer or so. It ought to be a fun transfer meeting though. Angola should be opened and Nampula should be opened. President already has told us who's going to Nampula and so we know that, however there are 2 spots for the Angola trip and I know the 3 people that are being considered for the 2 spots so it'll be fun to see who gets picked. It will be a crazy trip. This Wed. we go down to Maputo for our Zone Leaders Council. I'm excited for Sister Packard’s cooking again. It ought to be fun.

This Week I went on division with Elder Shawcroft who is the district leader in Munhava and had a blast. We were in the MTC together and he is probably one of my favorite guys from our MTC group. It was way fun to go back to the area that I was born in and walk around and spend the day with Elder Shawcroft. Good times!

Good to hear the Kalush’s are doing well. I always liked them. Well I am sorry this is so short, but not much to report this week. I hope you are having fun in California. Wulp, talk to ya next week!
