Transfers, 6 months out and doing GREAT

Yes today was transfers. The saddest one yet. Elder Wells got transferred to go be a zone leader in college park and I was really sad to see him go. it really feels like 2 days ago that we got put together. it was a really great transfer and i hope that i can have better ones in the future but i am not too sure if that is possible. I am pretty sad but i will be ok. i was sad when elder Goodman left my district in capitol hill but i got over it so i am sure i will get over this eventually. He is a really great guy though, i definitely hope to stay in contact with him after the mission. My new companion is Elder Nisson. Not like the car brand, its pronounced n-eye-son. He has been out for like 18 months, from st George, he is older too, like 24. I have heard mixed things about him though so i am kind of worried. don't forget to pray for me the next 6 weeks. he has some health problems because of a car crash a few years ago so he takes medication that supposedly makes him tired so hopefully he can get up in the mornings. i hear hes good with the members though so that should be good. it isn't going to be too bad. probably just a little harder than my other companions. i have been very lucky so far. don't worry about the mail though, i am definitely still here and i knew i would be so i didn't say anything about the mail.
the zone conferences are good. they are very long. from 9 to like 3 but we do a lot of different things so it goes fast. we learn a lot though its good. they treat us well. as far as i know they just have members from a ward feed us, im not sure who pays for it or anything.
we do have the opportunity to go to all the firesides and stuff at the visitors center but we have to take a less active, investigator or recent convert and unfortunately they have all canceled on us every time. so i haven't been yet. some day though.
I am glad you liked the pictures. i am surprised you said i look skinny that's kind of funny. we get fed every night really well but for some reason i haven't put any weight back on after i lost it in capitol hill. i got fat at Utah state and lost it in capitol hill but it hasn't come back yet surprisingly.
Last night we saw our golden investigator, Patrick, again. he is so awesome. he likes to see us at the visitors center so we went there and had the sisters teach him the plan of salvation. and we brought a member with us so he was a little surprised that there was 5 of us there just for him but the funny thing was that pretty much he ended up teaching us. he is so crazy. he said that since he picked up the book of Mormon he has completely changed. he said that he has even lost 50 pounds. he is like the definition of how people should react to the book of Mormon and the gospel but unfortunately not very many people get it like he does. he was supposed to be baptized august 5th but he said he has a friend that he wants to be there and cant come till September so now he is praying and pondering about what is more important. i really hope he gets baptized in august because chances are that i will not be here in September. oh well though. its not about me. he is a really great guy though i am excited to keep working with him and learning from him. We should  baptize at least one person this transfer. Kiros. the part member. he is planning on august 11 for sure. also another investigator i may have mentioned, Abraham, he is planning on august but he has some health issues and stuff so we will have to see what happens there.
its going well though, i am learning tons and trying to learn tons more. i never ever thought it would happen but i am enjoying reading and learning now so yes the mission is doing what its supposed to do.

And lastly my favorite talk of late is The power of covenants by D. Todd Christofferson. He has some good talks. Hopefully you can read it.Thanks for everything and i hope you have a great week! Love you!
