1st Transfer and a New Companion

On Wed I recieved my new comp! I didnt go to transfers in the city. Elder Naisbitt and two other elders in the district shoved all their luggage into our little truck and went to the city leaving me and Elder Yu in Clinton for most of the day. When my new comp and Elder Yu's new comp arrived it was very exciting! My new comp is Elder Fransen. He is from Idaho Falls. He is a district leader as well. He reminds me a little of Alex Harris and we're already good friends. We're having fun.
    Elder Naisbitt went to the Norman first ward, about one mile away from the OU campus. He's excited to serve there, mainly because there are cuter girls in the city to look at. (haha.) His new comp is one that was in my MTC district. If you look at my MTC pics and find the Elder with glasses and a big head (kinda looks like the kid off home alone). His name is Elder Hansen. Elder Naisbitt will learn a lot serving with him. I hope the do well together.
    Elder Fransen is a very good missionary. He's always looking for opportunities to teach anyone and every one. Always.  He is a very fun guy to serve with. I enjoy making him laugh.
  I'm still in Elk City and have tracted out almost the whole town! We're hoping and trying to have two baptisms this month! And maybe one or two next month.
    I want to corrdinate a time where you would like me to call on Christmas. That way it'll be a lot easier to fit it in with plans. I'm sure you know. Well I'm excited for Christmas! I was gently transitioned into a slightly different pattern of life by getting a new comp. After getting used to how Elder Naisbitt and I did things it is a little hard adjusting to someone who likes to do things a little different. But it's all well.

   So through Christmas (hint, hint) and possibly until February I will be at the following address:

220 Ridgecrest Dr #E-59
Elk City OK 73644
    Hope y'all are doin' well. Luv ya!
