Well i'm getting transferred! :( i honestly think this is the most upset/bummed/frustrated i've been in all of my transfers so far! i really wanted to stay here in this area for awhile longer but i guess it goes to show it's not my will but the Fathers. i must be needed somewhere else, i just hope that my next area has members are great as this area... so last night around 8:30 i got a call from President Maynes and he told me and i was like you're kidding, and he was like nope we need you some where else and i was like well that sucks! ha and he said that my new area will be just as awesome as this one, (cant wait to see what he means) but then he called me to be a district leader again. ha totally not excited for that ethier! but come what may and love it! right?? so make sure to keep me in your prayers that i'll be positive and have a good attitude towards this please. all night last night when i was packing i was so frustrated i just wanted to go nuts, i dont know why but i guess it's because i have come to love the people in this area and i see lots of potential in this area. but on a brighter note i absolutely loved General Confrence, i think it was up there as one of my favorites on my mission, i know i've only had four so technically they're all up there lol but still this was the top 1 or 2. especially the priesthood session it was amazing. like you mentioned mom every talk given was great, i loved Elder Hollands talk about sacrifice from his parents for him to go out on his mission, that one really hit home for me because i know that my parents are doing the same thing, i'm so grateful for you and everything that you do for me and for the family. you've always put us first and worried about you after us, which is amazing i hope to do the same for my kids someday (if i ever have any ha).. i also loved Elder Larry R. Lawrence's talk, i think it was his he talked about parenting as well. i cant for the Ensign to come out so i can read it and catch some of the stuff i missed while watching confrence. i had a blast though, we went out to the Larsens home and watched it we got spoiled while we were out there. Sister Larsen made tons of snacks so we could munch during confrence and then made a meal in between every session! ha i love that family and am going to miss them a bunch! Saturday afternoon between sessions we went down on the river right next to their house and fished then went back up and watched the afternoon session. for priesthood we rode up with brother Larsen to Aspen but we went a little early and a few brethern from the ward met us up there and we had dinner at a bbq joint up there. so i had a awesome weekend, one that will be hard to beat! ha crazy to think that next confrence we'll be watching it together in the same place, not just watching it together many miles away! :) we weren't able to meet with any of our investigators this week, so i hope that Elder Crunkleton will be able to keep the ball rolling here in this area or get the ball rolling i guess.i feel bad because this is my first area that i've been in that i haven't been able to see someone be baptized, and i know it's not all about baptizing but bringing people closer to Christ and i feel like i have done that with the people that we have worked with so i guess i can say that i've accomplished my purpose. i definitely want to come back through Glenwood with you mom and dad so you can meet the people here and see how gorgeous the area is! Elder Richards of the Seventy is coming through our mission sometime this month so it will be good to hear from him.

love Randy
