Transferred!!
Here are San Fran people signing my flag because I was leaving

MOMMA!! 

I'm in RIchmond!! I was pretty sad to leave the ward! It was so sad seeing Betty and Kona cry when I left!! But I am happy and excited to be here in Richmond! The area here is a lot more spread out than San Fran but its good! The work here is a lot better too! I'm with Elder Jones who was also trained by Elder Galaz the transfer before I got in the field, which makes us brothers because the trainers are our dads! He's pretty cool! He is from Utah with a big fam and likes to build stuff! 

I have heard that Richmond is a little more dangerous too, but I haven't seen anything too weird since I've been here. So I think we're good! The ward here seems nice, but its going take a while to get used to the new accents and learn the new names and all that jazz. I got to meet some members at dinners and at church! Oh and we also cover a YSA branch too, and I confirmed someone a member on Sunday which was awesome! 

Haha, yes I did have to do my own laundry this week, but it's ok because this new appartment is very nice and we have a washer and dryer!!!! And for the first time on my mish I don't have to climb three flights of stairs to get to my room!!! and I'm not on the top of a bunk bed!!! and we have a car!!!! It's pretty sweet! I think my new Zone leaders picked up the package you sent from the other Elders that had it, so i should get it soon, thank you!!!

Ah... the Book of Mormon, good book! I seriously can't believe I never set aside some time for myself to read it before my mission. When that's like the greatest tool in convincing people of the truth of Joseph Smith!! Being able to spend so much time reading it here on my mission has definitely convinced me and added to my testimony that Joseph Smith is a prophet and received divine help to restore the gospel of Jesus Christ. I really love this gospel and the opportunity I have to share it!! love you!!! 








Brigham's last meal with Sister Betty and her family! She texted me these pics the night he found out he was being 
transferred. I know that Brig will miss their family so much!  
A few tears were shed in saying good bye!
