Well, I left Reading! Week 1, Newark, Delaware

Hey how is everyone doing today? So, sad story, I got transferred and it was pretty hard for me. Just because it was my first area and this is my third companion in 3 transfers. Nuts! And my companion now is leaving home next transfer. SO.... but ya, so here is the story. They call you on Fridays to tell you what the situation is with being transferred, so they called me and told me I was staying so I was super excited and was super pumped caused I loved the area I was in. But they called me Saturday night and told me I needed to leave because on other the new missionaries wasn't coming. I was pretty upset at first. But its all good I just got to realize that's not where the Lord needs me anymore. He needs me here. This area that I am in now is Newark, Delaware. There is a lot of success here. We have 5 baptismal dates just for this transfer I guess. I haven't even been to the house yet so I don't even know what it is like. But here is the Address you can send stuff to,43 Pike creek rd. Apt. 6-c Newark, Delaware. But he doesn't know the area code, so you might have to look that one up before you send stuff.
So ya I don't know, this last week was super good. We had a a lot of fun and we worked hard. The cool thing this week was that we had an investigator named Alex who really wanted to get baptized but his girlfriend didn't really want to get married so its been tough for us to really talk to the girlfriend and stuff. But one of their friends that lives with them got in a really bad car accident and was in the ICU so we asked Alex if we could go and give him a blessing. He said yes. So we went the next day it was so weird he was in the same room that one of our less actives was in that was in a bad car crash. so we went there and gave him a blessing now he is doing a lot better and I did my first blessing in Spanish it was cool. But we got to talk to the girlfriend while we were there and just talked with her. I think that helped her out a lot.
So just a little about my new Companion... his name is Elder Spear! Crazy thing!! He went to Lone peak. I didn't really know him back then, but ya, he went to lone peak. Crazy stuff. But everyone says that he is a good missionary and that he works really hard so I am really glad about that. This transfer could be great that we can work hard and my Spanish will just get better and better. He said that we are not going to speak much English so that could help a a lot with improving. I know its going to be a struggle and tough but its like the only way.
Man, Easter was awesome! I hope you guys had a good one. Ha ha, we didn't do anything special other than his work. I mean now biggie. But ya, it was awesome! We had some good talks in church from what I understood. I got the chance to go up and bear my testimony because I was leaving. I didn't want to at first but I am really glad I did, I only made a few mistakes ha ha. But oh well, that's how i am going to learn. But we talked about the Savior a lot with our investigators it was awesome. How grateful I am for him and what he did for us to feel his love and to live the great plan that was showed for us. I love this work I am so grateful to be out here and to grow so much. I love all of you and hope you all have a good next week. Sorry for the short letter this week. Se will see how this week goes here.
