This week we have been talking to a ton of people! Getting loads of numbers and inviting people to do family history – lots are interested.

Wednesday we were talking to someone on the street and we got a call from Elder Winters (Vehicle coordinator for the mission) and so Elder Mansaray stepped away so that he could take it. I continued talking with Oscar, and when we were finished, we headed home for dinner. Then Elder Mansaray says in passing, “Oh, that wasn’t Elder Winters, that was President – Im training.” I was suprized – that meant I was leaving this area. Im being TRANSFERRED. My second area! accept i had no clue where im going! Elder Mansaray went to a leadership meeting in Hurst to learn how to train while I stuck with the north Elders in a trio! Whoo! It was pretty sweet! We dismantled Elder Lewis’ bike and got a bike box in the recycle bin out back of a bike shop, and we shipped it home for him! He leaves on wednesday for home.
While waiting for those in the zone that went to the meeting to get back, some elders found a setting on the phone that turns the key sounds in piano-note order!! So we learned praise to the man on the keys, and such – it was hilarious! Someday ill make a phone symphony! When they came back, a couple Elders were all over me telling me, “I know who your next companion is!! He’s hilarious!! And you have a sweet area, but youre WHITEWASHING!” I was like, “Wait, hannah montana say whaaa?” Elder Lewis whispered to me, “They’re just messing with you…” And I thought that was a mean joke.

Then Sunday I told Brother Sharp that i was leaving and so was Elder Lewis and he asked us to bear our testimonies in church – it was a great opportunity. I got lots of pictures with people too!

I did meet someone who went to Mesa high here! When I mentioned that, “My grandma went to mesa high…thats all I got!” He took it as an insult…but his wife just laughed! haha

Sunday we taught Shelby again – as she is leaving for college this week. The new member lessons are coming to an end for her! She also got her Patriarchal Blessing this last week – totally awesome!

     Last night (sunday) we were able to go to a “Genesis Meeting” and brought Claude! Which is basically a group of Black LDS folks that talk about missionary work in a more comfortable meeting. Pres. Ames spoke! It was awesome! He taught about the War in Heaven and made it click – also challenged everyone to mark a book of mormon and hand it out to someone they pray about. Claude took 2! There were only one other set of missionaries there, so we were able to talk to him for like 20 min strait! He talked to Claude with us most the time and helped him recognize the spirit he was feeling. President said it was cool how Elder M and my Brother were companions together! He also told Claude i was leaving this area and said, “He is being relocated toooooo….” and points at me. When he realized I didnt know where I was going, he hurried and changed the subject! Probably so that I didnt ask him at that time haha

       This morning I waited an hour for the Zone Leaders Call and Elder Nielson said, “So Elder Householder! Wait, you really dont know where youre going? Elder Lewis knows….” At that moment I realized that what those missionaries were telling me where I was going was actually truth! Elder Lewis later told me that he said they were lying so that I didnt get, “Area Trunky” Oh man, did I give some great shoves in his direction!

So I am relocating to Lakeside 2nd Ward and my NEW ADDRESS is 3150 S Garrison Rd. #423 Corinth, Tx, 76210

I am Whitewashing also! We were told the last missionaries in that area were not obeying the rules (what we call being apostate) so they were both taken out and 2 new ones placed in. Thats a lotta work! were starting from scratch basically! I guess president trusts me enough!

Love all y’all!!
