Well transfer calls came in and and my area is being swept! Meaning that both my companion and I are being transferred.Zone leaders pass on transfer calls a day early and pass them down to district leaders on Sunday night. One of the zone leaders in the other zone is going home today, so he pulled us to the side on Sunday morning and told us that we were both leaving but that he didn't know where. He also told us that another area was also being swept.
We aren't supposed to know transfer calls early but it funny because we just kept on messing with our zone leaders. We went to one of our zone leaders and said, "Hey, so we forgot, what time are we supposed to be at the transfer sight on Tuesday? 12:30 right?" He just stared at us as if he was trying to figure out if we were serious. We kept on saying things throughout the day like that to mess with other missionaries. At one point we brought brooms to the apartment of the Elders who are being swept and walked in and started sweeping everything. My companion had a swiffer sweeper and was scrubbing down the walls and I started sweeping the floor and furniture. A little ways in I said, "Don't mind us, we're just sweeping the area" They couldn't stop laughing, they thought it was funnier when they actually both got swept.
Anyways, so I'm being transferred to the Lakeland 2nd ward up near Hayden Lake in Idaho. I looked it up on lds maps and It looks like the main city i'll be covering is Rathdrum Idaho. I'll be District Leader and companions with Elder C..
This Saturday we went to the Chinese Elders baptism. They did it as a Stake event, so we couldn't get permission to go to the baptism of our old investigator that we had to pass off a while ago. I wasn't too happy about that, but oh well.
Other than those few things, our week has been kind of uneventful. Hopefully I'll have a good experience in my new area! I'm trying to get a hold of my new companion to get my new mailing address but so far no luck. I'll send it out as soon as I get it though, for those who just love to send me packages :P

Savannah decorated the box with pictures of mason on Halloween. My personal favorite was the year he went as a sewer pipe. When he came upstairs with his self-made costume I couldn't stop laughing.
