The firesides this weekend went really great. I really loved being in the choir and it was pretty cool, but it's so time consuming! All weekend was spent singing and it was a very powerful program. We sang "Jesus Name of Wondrous Love," an arrangement of "Simple Gifts for Christmas" called "Simple Joy," and then a slew of other songs, many of which were arranged be Sister Heidenriech, who just finished her mission here. She was a Sr. missionary from Arizona, she made the Songs of the Savior program which we sang as the close to the fireside. They also recorded this fireside so hopefully soon we'll be getting a CD and I can send you home a copy of it. I don't know Sister Taft personally but I do know that she's in the mission.
Sister Matsuda is good; so is Marietta and the Burgesses but none of them made it to church yesterday :(. However Gordan Avery did come to church, we've been working with him pretty much ever since I got to this area and he hasn't been progressing very well and at church he told us that he's noticed that the happiest times of his life have been while he was actively studying the gospel with us and that he'd like to be baptized before Christmas. So that was pretty exciting. The 12 dates of Chirstmas worked wonderfully. We went from zero to twelve dates in nine days and had 14 by the close of the 12 days! This zone is doing really, really well.
For transfers I'm being transfered. I'm kinda bummed out to be leaving. I'm going to go to the mission office as President Hutchings' assistant. I'll be serving with Elder Hansen as my companion, he's the same missionary that trained me so that'll be fun. However now most of my time will be spent doing management-type things for the mission and meetings rather than working in our area. The good news though is I now get to go on exchanges with the zone leaders so I'll be able to come back to this area on exchanges. Other good news is I will now be living at the mission home so I get all my mail direct now.
That's pretty much all thats going on here. I love you guys!
