Hello family and friends,

I think that we get to email way to much! Every time I sit down I try to think about what I did and I just go blank. I know we did a ton, but it takes a few minutes to remember.

To start off, Monday, we went to Burlington Coat Factory with a group of Elders to look at ties and shoes. We were planning to be there for 25 minutes and ended up being there for like 2 hours! I will send a lot of the pictures from that it was seriously a ton of fun. The whole time, we were just trying things on and it was fun to see what the other guys thought looked good. We were just laughing and I never EVER thought I would have fun shopping. I guess I was for sure wrong. Then on Tuesday, we went on exchanges with some other missionaries in our zone for the day. On exchanges, we do some training and the biggest thing is just going out and working super hard. Helping them to see that missionary work is fun and that it is more fun when you work hard and are good at it. Haha  But it went well and I know I left with things I could work on but you just hope the other missionary did as well.

On Thursday, we had our Transfer Meeting and it was a whole mission conference because we went and saw Meet The Mormons. Well, we went to the church building and watched it. I love being able to see all your friends around the mission and also getting to see how they are doing and what is new with them, but the movie was way good, it was just hard to sit and look at a screen for that long. It is a little embarrassing but true. I just struggled sitting still!

Transfers went great! I am staying with Elder Taylor and I am pumped about that. We get along really well and have had fun serving together. Our zone also got a lot of cool missionaries and I think that will be a big bonus on our end.  Friday, as a result, was spent moving everyone's stuff to where it goes and making sure they have everything they need. Lots of driving and talking for Elder Taylor and I. We have some good music that we jam out to though, like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! :) On Saturday, we had a few appointments and so we tried calling around to the other members of the ward for help. We called 26 people and only 2 said they could go. We left like 15 voice mails and only 2 called back. Working with members can be extremely tough so if the missionaries call, just answer! We needed one more member and right then, President Riggs sent out a text that he wanted to come to a lesson and call him if you were interested. So within the minute we called and he came with us! It was super freaky but it went way good and we got tons of Praise Of Men from him. Then he came to church so that he could see the lady again and so it was constant best behavior mode for us this weekend!

Well, I hope to hear more of you about all the fun you're having at home! What else has been going on? Have a great week. I love you tons!

Love,
Elder Westover
