Hey everyone!

This week has been good. I found out on Sunday that I'll be heading up to Casper Wyoming. Wish me luck! I'm excited. I think it's going to be a great transfer.

Some other cool things that happened: we put together a family home evening for the YSA ward that went pretty well, we moved all of our furniture so our carpets could get cleaned, it rained a lot which I like, we had a good Filipino-Japanese dinner with some members, and we had some good lessons with people we're teaching. I'll attach some pictures that I took.

Thanks for all the support and prayers! I appreciate you all! Keep being awesome!

PS: 

Ethan will be going to Casper, WY, and serving in the Casper East Zone with Elder Wright (there are 3 Elder Wrights in the mission but Ethan thinks he knows which one it is).  He will serve in the 2nd and 10th wards.  He was a bit bummed to be transferred since he has only been in Greeley for 6 weeks, but when he looked on the 2nd ward's Facebook page and saw a full meal calendar, he felt much better. 😉 He thinks he will be well taken care of.  He needs to get on the transfer bus in Fort Collins at 5:30 am Wednesday morning.  He said it won't be too bad because he will already have everything packed by then.

Ethan's birthday is the 18th and I was nervous that he would be transferred and not have anything for his birthday.  He doesn't know his address yet in Casper so we won't know where to send things until next Tuesday, which is his birthday. He told me to just send it a week later, but I ended up sending him a package a week early with instructions not to open it.  So now he has to pack up and try to figure out how to get his birthday package to Wyoming also.  Oh well.
