Hope this week was great for you!

It was the last week of the transfer and it went well.
For transfers we found out that I am....

STAYING!!
I'll still be in the same apartment, but there will be lots of changes. I'll be covering 2 Wards now...going from double covering an English Ward and a Tongan Ward to fully covering an English Ward and a completely different Tongan Ward. Elder Cook is heading out. He is going up to the Santa Monica YSA. And I'll be training again! So my new companion is still unknown. I'll find out who he is at the trainer meeting. But this transfer should be super awesome! Training will be great and there will be lots of new work for us to do! Let'sss gooooo!
As far as this week goes it was pretty great! I was down and out for the count early in the week. I was pretty sick, but it gave me lots of time to think. "Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." So true!! I just thought about all the ways that I've seen Heavenly Father's hand in my life and it is way too many to count! It never ceases to amaze me how much our Heavenly Father loves all of us.
"Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of the tree of Israel, and has been lost from its body in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who has been mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land." ~Alma 26:35-36:
I also had lots of fun for p day doing some Xrays and an MRI on my wrists. For the MRI they gave me a shot of "contrasting fluid" to help make the MRI pick things up. I was really hoping that the contrasting fluid would be some neon green goo that'd make my veins all glow. But, to my great sadness... no glow. 
maybe next time.
Have a great week!
