Well I’m in the Beaver ward but I live in bridgewater which covers a fairly good chunk of land so its been interesting. My companion is elder Bown from Wyoming he’s a pretty good guy so I cant complain about the transfer that much. But I'm enjoying life I'm about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh which is pretty close for me so thats a little weird. I’m in an interesting area its pretty old and its got a few Ghetto slum areas so that always makes things fun. The ward seems pretty cool its a fair bit smaller then the waynesboro ward but the people are still good and feed us fairly regular. 

Transfers was pretty smooth I was up till 1230 packing the night before then woke up at 5 to shower and finish packing then I drove to gettysburgh picked a guy up and then drove to harrisburg where I eventually drove the truck and trailer from harrisburgh to pittsburgh so I did a lot of driving which was ok I would rather have not but I guess I cant really complain that much. 

It is nice to be a junior companion again not really having to much to worry about or anything so I get a chance to kinda relax. Not sure if I’ll have to be a dl or anything again for the rest of my mission but I guess I’ll figure that out when I get there. 

We have a guy in our ward that has a gym kinda in his basement that we go work out at quite regularly so thats nice and he has some serious weight so I should be able to get a little size into my life. 

But not to much new went on besides that just kinda getting ready for whats to come.
