Starting off, the end of the MTC came with around four devotionals, with in two days, which were nice but also fairly long and tiring. Beyond that, the days consisted of saying several good byes to the other elders and sisters in my district. We celebrated International Freedom Day at the MTC on July 2nd, which is a politically correct way of saying we celebrated the 4th of July. That consisted of a devotional and watching stadium of fire fireworks that were mostly covered by a building.
The day we left consisted of a bus to the frontrunner, followed by trax and the airplane ride to Eugene Oregon. We then did training with the president, had a nice dinner, and then did some tracting with other elders. The following day we were given further training, and were split up into our companionships and zones. I am with Elder Borden who is from Hawaii and we are in the Central Point area, which is near Medford.
The next several days consisted of preparing for average days in the mission and saying hi to the ward mission leader, bishop, elders quorum president, and many other elders and people. We also spent a large amount of time putting our bikes together due to our car in the zone being taken away this transfer. Beyond that, this P-day consisted of a service project of helping a member move, followed by lunch and writing this email.
A lot has happened and I don't have a lot of time to write, so if any of you have questions, please feel free to ask!
Thanks for all of the support and love,
