I
have to say, that this is probably the coolest area in the Mission! Our ward
boundaries are literally the city of Boston. We cover all the towns that are
taken into the city, so we get to see a lot of diversity. Everything from the
bustling downtown district to the quiet outskirts by Dedham and Mattapan. There
are some areas that are a little rougher, but folks respect "Jesus
people," so as long as we have our tags on, we're safe.
My
new companion is Elder Woodard. He's from Kamas, Utah, and he's quite the
character. He's a BIGTIME hunter, and loves Mountain Dew and country music.
Needless to say, we get along really well :) He's been out for 3 months, and
his trainer is actually our roommate. There are now two sets of English Elders
and a set of English Sisters in the ward. We are pretty busy, and doing LOTS of
traveling on the T.
The
new apartment is actually pretty nice. Like most Boston apartments, it's a
little on the small side, but it's big enough to keep us out of each others'
grills. My only beef is the water pressure. It's terrible. I feel like I'm
getting spit on when I take a shower :P hahaha
We
have had 3 big storms in the last 2 weeks, and one actually bumped transfers up
to Wednesday night. We had a hasty P-Day and lots of traveling around to get
done, but we made it to Transfers just on time. And I saw-who else-Katie Parker
there. It was great to see her and hear about all the craziness from back home.
Unfortunately,
I left a lot of stuff in Waterbury (i.e. contacts, solution, glasses, and stuff
like that), so I've had to replace some of that stuff for a couple days so that
I can stay alive. The Waterbury Elders are going to be sending me a package of my
stuff, so I should be getting that in a few days. I also found a Marshawn Lynch
jersey on my last day in Waterbury for $37.20. Needless to say, I'm kinda
excited about that :)
More
to come later, but that's what I've got for now. I'm loving Boston, and I'll
have some fun with this transfer :)
Love
all of y'all, and hope you have a good week!
