I did get transferred. :-/ I was in Brawely for 3 transfers. about 4 months. I liked it there, it's just that missionary work was a little harder. I didn't know it was harder until I got to my new area. Where I am now, it seems like...idk, easy. So many more people, so many more members who are just awesome. We're going to be teaching a lot more. Like a looot more.
btw I'm in El Cajon, CA---pretty cool so far, I like it. It's like all apts. But it's nice. There isn't really a ghetto part of town. Well nothing's really ghetto. For my standards I suppose.
Thanks for everything,

Mi cumpleaños fue muy bien
Si, mi cumpleaños fue muy bien gracias. I had kinda like a birthday/dinner at a members home. Familia Morales. They're awesome. Their daughter just returned home from serving a mission in Chicago south. She actually helped us out this morning with a lesson. To be honest the work has been hard and slow. It's taken diligence.
I haven't had any really cool experiences I guess. I mean, none pop out. I can say however, I know I've been lead by the spirit at times. I can see that very clearly and recognize that. There are wonderful people everywhere in the world. There really are people out there being prepared and looking for the gospel.
There is only one way to lasting happiness! It's through the gospel and obedience to the commandments. Laws make us free. What if everyone just did what they wanted to do? The world would be chaos. It's kinda funny too, how I can cross one street on my bike from a bunch of really nice houses, to the projects. The people are sooo different on either side too.
The mission is great. I have tons of work still to do. We're teaching a woman named Maria, a man named Kevin, and an 18 boy named Terrance. Pray for them and for us.

Great, [now that my family has moved], when I get home, they're going to ask me to speak in the singles ward, the ward you used to be in, the Spanish ward, and then the one you're in now...haha.
That's awesome news, Will got into NC State. Longer drive now to go to school though. I haven’t gotten anything yet, because I’m in Brawley. Hopefully we'll get mail and stuff tomorrow. Because President is coming down for missionary training exchange. They bring mail with them. We only get mail every 3 or 4 weeks. It depends. Thanks for all that stuff in advance though! :) Can you believe I’m 21 years old now?! uck! That's old.
Yeah, it's getting hotter. It's in the 100's everyday now. But I was sick like all last week. It wasn't bad, it was like this cold virus that lasted a long time. I was just really tired and weak. But it's going away. It sucked, I just rested the whole time and read my Spanish textbook.
We have a man named Kevin Murrow with a baptismal date on the 20th. That should be real cool. He's an awesome guy.
Well I love you all very much thanks for the emails every week I really do appreciate it.

p.s. I can't believe I’ve been gone for like almost 10 months?! idk long time, it's flying by.
