Now Ill do a run down for the week.

Monday - was a lot of fun, last day in Lamoille Valley Ward. We stopped by a bunch of people to say goodbye to them.

Tuesday - we got up at 4:30 and drove to Adam and Faith's house. Adam drove us down to the transfer meeting in Manchester New Hampshire. The meeting lasted about an hour and then we got our new companions. After that Adam left with Elder Smith and Elder Beck and Me and Elder Stauffer headed up to Berlin. When we got there we put my stuff in the apartment. After that we taught a member Jules. After that we saw one of our investigators, Jessica. We read a chapter out of the book of Mormon with her.

Wednesday - We had my first district meeting as a district leader. That was a whole lot of fun. It really wasnt that hard. After that we taught Sister Rodgers, We also taught Jessica a lesson again, and her mom, Lu.

Thursday - We had a good day. We did some service for the Farmers market andI got a free t shirt! After that we taught a member Brother Murphy. and that is about all we did. We walked around a lot.

Friday - Today was the funnest day. We did some service at a thrift store. We vacuum the carpets. We also taught Jules again and then we taught a recent convert family the Bothas. They are awesome. They just moved in a couple of weeks ago. They were baptized while they were living in Louisiana. Brother Botha is from South Africa and Sister Botha is originally from Berlin. They met each other in the Army and now have 4 kids. They fed us some awesome food and we had a great lesson that really included their kids.

Saturday - Was a fun day as well. We went to Lancaster NH. It is right on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont, so we walked across the bridge into Vermont. We talked to a few of the members in Lancaster.

Sunday - was good. We had church of course. The branch is so small here. We had 50 people show up and 5 of them were visitors. There are a lot of tourist spots here because Mt. Washington is in the area. After church we walked around and visited a few people. We had a lesson with Lu.

The new area is really different from my last. It is a lot bigger city here.
