Second week in DC - Second transfer

Another new address! Maybe I'll have to start every email with one of these?

8511 Bauer Dr. #24 
Springfield Va, 22152 
 
So yeah I'm at the mission office and my suitcase (everything I own fits in one suitcase! Weird) is in the car. I meet my new companion in about half an hour. His original companion came out with me but I guess he's headed back home for one reason or another. Either way I've heard a lot of good things about him already, his name is Elder Ni. I'll be switching zones, so right after I met everyone in THIS zone their throwing me over to the Anandale zone and then probably shipping me from there in another few weeks to head over to Europe! I'm gonna miss my tripanionship, and all my investigators, and everything. But I'm excited to get a whole new zone to experience. I guess I'm just supposed to go all over the place. I have to give up living in a member house but I get an apartment now and it'll just be me and Elder Ni! I think I'll actually enjoy it because I've wanted to have that living on your own experience for a while. Lessons and tracting will also be a lot different with just one other person with me. 

     Yeah, tracting, have I told you about tracting? Well I love it to death, a horrible violent and bloody death. Just kidding, it's not that bad. The majority of people just awkwardly deny us but there's always that one or two people who go out of their way to be ridiculously rude for no reason. I honestly feel like it's harder to do this in English than it would be for me to do it in Danish. Anyway, it's good practice and now I feel comfortable walking up to anyone almost anywhere and just introducing myself. 

Just met my companion, he walked into the mission office while I was typing, he seems really great and I think this will be a good way to finish the transfer. I was the Zone Leaders companion and now I'm the District leaders companion haha... maybe they're really worried about me. 

Also, I went to the DC temple today and it is incredible! Seriously one of the coolest temples I've ever seen including all the pictures of all the other ones I've ever looked at. We went mini golfing after.... interesting way to spend a P-Day haha. Anywho, my new address is above, so let me know how your lives are! No word on my visa so another few weeks in DC. I'm gonna miss my investigators here, even if the ones we had on date dropped off for one reason or another. I'll still have a car in my new area though, I guess I've been pretty spoiled because so far I lived in a members house which was really nice and we've had like seriously 6 or 7 dinner appointments which is rare and so I haven't had to make my own food nearly at all. (Sorry to disappoint you mom :) 

It's great hearing from all of you that sent me an email! Keep it up I love hearing about life back home! Let me know if any of you want something from DC or else wanna ask a question! I'm excited for Cole and Miles and Jake to get into the MTC next week! 

Also tomorrow is my 2 month mark. Whoa. 

See you guys later! I'm out of time, sorry if I forgot something!
