Transfer week was last week, and it was a busy one. First off, the missionaries here normally find out where they are going and who they will be with before transfers. That was new to all of the missionaries coming from DC South. President Wilson talked about how he wanted to do transfers with us, and he went with the DC South way. Holy smokes. That shook the mission. It was a big change to say the least. Because it was a new way, that meant no one knew what to expect. So that made Elder Nuemeyer and my job very very busy. But after the dust settled, and many many hours of driving around the mission (Richmond to Waynesboro, then Richmond to Woodbridge)... everyone made it to their designated area. I pray that the next transfer meeting will go much smoother. It should... Now that everyone has a good idea of what to expect.

We worked our tails off last week, which opened up a good chunk of time on the weekend to work in our area. IT WAS AWESOME! We were able to see a couple of less active families that we have been working with... We were able to do a lot of finding, as well as visiting former investigators. We were able to accomplish a lot over Saturday and Sunday. A real highlight of the weekend was having a less active couple surprise us and come to church for all 3 hours! I was shocked when I saw them walk in the door. Something just clicked in their heads (Aka... the spirit) and the came to church. They have a strong desire to go to the Temple for the first time... So coming to church is a great step for them!

All of the missionaries are buzzing about BYU coming to Virginia to play football against UVA. Its at the end of August. It probably wont happen... But how cool would it be to be able to go?!

LOVE YOU ALL!
