Hello Mom and family! Well the biggest and most surprising news first. I got midnighted. Now for those who don't know what that means it means that I got emergency transferred into the English program. One Elder was sick and had to go home to recover and since I was in a threesome and have been in ASL for the past 8 months (HOLY COW! can you believe it?) that they transferred me to the Bowie area! I am now serving with Elder M in this area for the next week and a half until I get transferred to another area next week. The Assistants called me last Saturday morning and told me I would be going on Sunday night. It was tough for me to leave the apartment. So much of my blood, sweat, and tears has gone into that area and branch. It was emotional for me but I know this is gonna make me a better man. I am excited to have different opportunities in a different area. My biggest fear is that I am going to lose all the ASL skill I have worked for. The Lord has called and I have answered however, my faith is sure and my hope is bright.
I have been getting to know my new area. They just had a few baptisms so some recent converts we are working with. One is D and the other is E. Both are super cool and so full of the Gospel right now. We get fed every night in this area it is super intense. I'm gonna have to watch my figure ;)
Glad to hear about all the people going on missions! I wanna know basically everyone who has gotten a call, sorry if that puts more work on you mom.
I don't know my plans for Thanksgiving or anything because I'll be in a totally new area! However the holidays will be a great time to work with whatever ward I'm in. The Christmas Spirit always makes people friendlier.
Well I love you family and am praying for you day and night! Oh yeah and I must shout-out to my Grandma Schoemig who's birthday was last week and to my cuz Garett who's birthday is this week! Happy Birthdays! To the edge with love, Elder Schoemig :)
