Hey Dad,
Well it is that start of a new transfer and we are busy busy busy. We have already planned out our transfer and again we have meetings, exchanges, interviews and who knows what else. We are leaving for Charleston tomorrow for a three day training meeting. Elder Hansen, myself and seven other missionaries from our Zone will be leaving. The training is great!!!
This past week was a bit of a struggle. We did better finding but the investigators that we had are starting to disappear. I don't know what we are doing wrong. Elder Hansen is keeping me going. We work pretty hard. Because we aren't going to be working in our area this week, we are cutting our P-day short. We have some appointments with hopefully some new investigators.
We have been doing splits with Christian and Aaron every week now. They are so great!! They love to come out and work with us. We are trying so hard to schedule some appointments but it seems like whenever they go out with us the appointments get canceled so we end up tracting. I think that they enjoy that as well.
Nothing exciting has happened this week. Sorry no stories.

Hey Dad,
Well, it is transfer week again. Elder Hansen and I will be staying together, but again we have lots of changes in our zone. It is going to be interesting trying to learn everybodies names again.
On Monday, the Clarksburg Ward had an activite. It was called the "Fun Run". It was a 5K run and then a brunch after. We decided that we were going to wear gym shorts and then a white shirt and tie on the top. The members really loved it and the non members just thought that we were strange. I will have to send you pictures. I ran the 5K, the first one of me life and did better then I thought I would. I did it in 29:36. Not bad for a fat boy. LOL It really was fun. Now Elder Hansen and I are going to start running more in the mornings. We are both trying to get in shape before we come home.
This week we struggled finding and teaching. We have been tracting with little success. A lot of our investigators are dropping us or we are just not able to contact them. It is really frustrating. And to add to all that, we are going to Charleston again next week for a four day training. So this next week we are not going to be able to find many people. The training will help us become better missionaries though.
Well, other then that nothing has changed to much. I love you very much
