Semana Noventa y Cinco (Dying in Dallas! #transfered)(Minden, LA)

Whelp....... the results are in and..... I guess they couldn't just let me die here in peace in Louisiana. We got our transfer emails last night, and it looks like I'm headed to ghetto of South Dallas to die as a Zone Leader over the Dallas Zone. I'll admit, I didn't see that one coming!  😂

It's been a hot minute since the last time I was a zone leader, so I'm excited to give it another go. My companion's name is Elder Dallen Estrada, and from what I know he's a fireball of a missionary. I know we're going to see some miracles this transfer in the heart of Dallas!  Unfortunately, it also means I'm going to have to pack and move all my stuff, but hey, there are worse fates. Elder Patchett is staying here in Minden, and his new companion is another missionary he came out with. So it's literally going to be two greenies, greenie-busting each other out in the middle of nowhere! 😂

This week was great, I have truly cherished my every second here in Minden. Yesterday we had THREE investigators at church, and it just feels like everything is on the up-and-up regarding the work. I truly am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us as much success as we have seen here in Minden these past two transfers. Rarely have I left an area feeling so satisfied with everything we have done. We worked hard and the Lord abundantly poured out his blessings on us. I'm really grateful for that. Minden, Louisiana will always hold a very special place in my heart. I've changed and grown here more than I can express, and I'm going to miss it.  

But again, this week was great. We had surprise-exchanges with our zone leaders, and I went with Elder Carroll over to his area in Bossier City. He's a great missionary, and I learned a lot from him. We had someone serve us some weird, "non-alcholholic" Carribean malt drink from the Dominican Republic, so that was exciting!  And surprisingly we actually ended up speaking a lot of spanish of the exchange. 

Upon walking into Walmart last Monday I witnessed an animatronic-black Santa Claus welcoming us into the store, so of course I had to take a picture. Proof that everything's black here in Louisiana! 

During the week, some one gave us a jar of delicious Jalapeño jelly, so of course I had to make a "peanut butter and jalapeño jelly sandwich!" It was actually surprisingly good........ It was like a PB&J, but with a kick! Would recommend.

Tuesday we had our last district council of the transfer, which went well. This has been a really fun and hard working crew, so I'm going to miss them a lot. It's always sad to see a district come to an end. 

But that was my week in a nut-shell. It's weird. This email spells the beggining of the end of it all...... I'm dying in Dallas, who'da thunk! 

¡Les quiero y nos vemos pronto!
