Transfers

This week has been pretty amazing! Well to start off how cool it was, we get to transfer meeting on Wednesday. How they do it is you sit there in the chapel, and they put you and your new companions picture up and say your area (I already knew i was staying in selma, but for the other one), then you stand up, give your old companion a hug, and go meet your new companion and give him hug, and then sit it your new zone. They only put two pictures up at a time, so honestly it is so nerve racking! Well so I'm sitting there trying not to cry haha and elder fat's picture comes up and he is training a elder named elder Yogo from Kenya AFRICA! So he stands up hugs me and leaves, so I go stand in the back and wait for my picture. So as I'm standing there, the SELMA area pops up, and my picture isnt there haha so im freaking out thinking they made a mistake or something. Then they go to the next slide! SELMA again! There is now four missionaries in Selma! But the best part I look and see who my companion is! A brand new elder i'll be TRAINING from GHANA AFRICA, named Elder Andoh-Kesson!!! He is way SWEET! So I walk over and give him a hug and we go sit down! Come to find out I'm the "youngest" missionary to ever train in the Alabama mission! Before me the earliest a trainer has been out was 7 months! I've been out 3! how crazy is that! It's so awesome to know that I am going to be setting the foundation of how this missionary will most likely be for the rest of his mission! What a responsibility right!? Well that's awesome, then to top of my week, I baptised that family of 5! It was so amazing! We this week has been awesome! I've honestly been completely overwhelmed by the spirit this week in every way shape and form! Well to carry on that's really all that happened this week! Because we were either saying goobye to people for elder Fat or in B-ham! So this week has been slow, yet GREAT! but anywho all the new missionaries out here are awesome! Pray for us! OH actually haha one funny story real quick. The first day here all four of us are riding to meet some of the people in the branch and people we are teaching, and elder lunt and I are in the front, and we come to a light behind a car, and he looks back to see where the other two were haha and didn't know that the light turned red and the car didnt go, and all I had time to yell was "WAIT" haha and he ran straight into the back of this car haha, the car didn't even do anything either it just drove off! Well my testimony is growing like crazy and I'm learning a ton! Keep praying for me! I love you guys! Pray that I'll be the best trainer I can be! I love you guys!
