Transfer time!!!

Well this week has definately been interesting.  I think I'll cut right to the chase. So on Monday our zone headed up to Casper for a tri-zone conference / Martin's Cove hike which was cold but cool at the same time.  So anyway, when it came time Tuesday afternoon to go back to Gillette we all loaded up in the overcrowded transfer train and headed back, only to find we left our cell phone in Casper (Bennett's fault) and somehow ended up with Sheriden 1st wards phone. (see above)  So we priority mailed their phone to them, and Casper taped our phone to a turtle and pointed him in this direction (we still don't have it and it's Monday again) but anyway transfers were happening this week and my zone leaders were completely lost as to what was happening this transfer.  They had no ideas without a means of communication so we struggled through the week lost in a mist of disconnection unable to find the iron rod of communication (lame puns...)  When suddenly yesterday we went on splits with the spanish missionaries we took one with us and gave them Bennett (he was called spanish speaking but hardly uses it) well when we finally got back together Bennett (who now had use of spanish's cell) told me the mission president has been looking all over for me and that I was being transfered to Bismarck North Dakota.... tomorrow (which is now today, laundry dry faster I need to pack you!!) So I've got a 2 day trip ahead of me to get from Polar ends of the mission up to the North Pole er... I mean Bismarck to spend the winter (wonderful, wonderful cold)

but I suppose all is well here, we had a baptism Wednesday, one lady praying for a baptismal date and another totally ready all we got to do is pop the question. So the work has been going all right no real complaints from me except I should of bought a more conservative beanie (hee hee elmer fudd hat) and way more than 2 pairs of wool socks.  On top of that, even though it gets really cold we're asked not to wear jackets if we can help it.  He said "I'd rather you wear 3 sweaters before you put on a jacket", which makes going into hot places torture but oh well.  I need to buy new sweaters too while I'm thinking about it.  hmmmm... Oh well, suppose I'll call you soon.!!
