Semana Ochenta y Cuatro (TRANSFERS: Doubled in-DL-training on the Bayou! 🦐🐊 #wearenotintexasanymore )(Longview, TX)

Holy gator it happened! 

We got our transfer emails at 10:16 last night, and BAM! I'm off to the heart of Lousiana to teach the cajuns....... doubled in, district leader, and training to boot. This is going to be the most insane transfer of all time, and I can't wait. I've always wanted to go to Lousiana, and this is it. And what a chance it's going to be. Tomorrow morning we're head to Frisco early to go pick up my greenie, than a 200+ mile car ride out to Minden, Lousiana. (The extreme farthest point in the mission.....) 

We cover two small english branches, the Minden Lousiana Branch [which meets in an old baptist church] and the Magnolia Arkansas Branch. (Magnolia used to be it's own area, but then it was added to the Minden, so in reality we cover two super huge areas in the middle of nowhere.) Because we're getting doubled in, neither of us have any idea what the area is like, so it's going to be a wild cajun adventure to figure everything out. I could not be more excited for this transfer! 

In other news, Elder Gibbs and I had a great final week here in Longview. We went on exchanges with both the Marshall and Henderson elders and got a lot of good work done. We had a funeral for one of our Zone Leaders Tuesday after District Council, so that was lit. (Don't worry, that's not a sacrament cloth on the table.....) One night we were cooking shrimp in our apartment, and we tried to use pancake batter as breading but that went south very quickly...... you could hardly breath it was so smokey.(Hence the hebrew/towel head gear in the picture.....) We found a lit book while doing service at the library and we had to take a picture. It was about this guy who had eaten at every BBQ joint in Texas and wrote a book on it. Other than that, we taught some great lessons this week, spoke a lot of Spanish, and knocked a lot of doors. I'm really going to miss Elder Gibbs. Easily one of my favorite people I've met and worked along side on my mission. Love you Elder Gibbs. Thanks for an awesome transfer.

Stay tuned for next week:
