Snow!!

This week was the final week of the transfer.  The first part of the week was fairly uneventful, with a lot of lessons that fell through.  The biggest thing that happened is we helped an investigator prepare to move out to the Philippines, with the rest of the move happening the next week.  We also gave a priesthood blessing to Poppy following some trouble she has had recently.

The other large thing is that it snowed pretty hard the past week in Oakridge.  In the valley we got about two inches that melted fairly quickly, but in the outlying parts of the area there was about two feet of snow.  It has been nice seeing it again.  The large event that happened this week has been transfers though.  I will be staying in Oakridge as a district leader with Elder Cluff, while Elder Briceno will be going to an area named Florence on the coast.

The next few days have been spent trying to visit everyone we could so Elder Briceno could say goodbye, as well as packing.  Many of the people we have been teaching have been getting sick lately which made it fairly difficult, but it went well.  Then today we drove down to Eugene and went to the transfer spot.  I am currently stranded at a church building while I wait for the transfer van to drop off my next companion.  This Thursday will mark me being on the mission for six months, with Christmas being soon after.  Time is going fast but it has been fun.
