Week 86 (6/16/2020) Transfers

 

I guess I should let y'all know about transfers. I was going to tell you last night, but we got back from the T__’s at about 11, so we just went to bed. Incidentally, we left the T__’ at 9:30, so we weren't intentionally being out late. We just had to drive out to Crowley, and then to Jennings, and then home.

 

Anyways, I am being transferred. I am going to Eagle Springs in Summerwood, with Elder Safsten as my new companion. He has been out only a couple of transfers, and is waiting for borders to open up--he is a Sweden Visa waiter. 

 

Perhaps the biggest plus about being transferred...well, some background. Because of the huge influx of U.S. missionaries, they don't have enough cars or apartments for everyone, and they don't want to sign new leases on either when they plan on sending all of those missionaries back out as soon as possible. So, they have a deal with some car rental places and extended stay hotels to get everybody situated. In any case, I have a regular apartment, but, my car will be a rental. Why is that exciting? After all, it will probably not be as nice as the cars the mission leases. Well, since it doesn't belong to the mission that means it does not have a TiWi device in it to check my speed, acceleration, and all of that. So I am freeeeeeeeeeeeee to be a regular, defensive, law-abiding driver, of course. 

 

Anyways, you may be wondering why this does not quite seem like a regular weekly. That is because it isn't...because of how things worked out, transfers got moved to tomorrow. At least, ours did. So more will come tomorrow.

 

Love y'all! Elder DeFord
