Gonzales Louisiana and I am half done :/ - April 21

Hey so I am now not in the New Orleans Stake...I am in the Baton Rouge stake. Which for me is a big difference. Heavenly Father really does know me because I am in a suburb of Baton Rouge, like I was in Covington. One of the biggest differences is that I am now covering two wards instead of one, which means that we have six hours of church on Sundays. I kind of chuckle at that because in my entry interview President Wall told me that the are I was going to I would cover two wards...which didn't happen until half way through my mission. 

 

It has been an adjustment but I am trying to not look back and compare the two areas all that much. It has been interesting since transfers, because I knew that I wasn't going to stay in the stake. I thought I was either going to come to Baton Rouge or I was going to be in Hammond. I wasn't as certain on the latter though. 

 

So here is my new address so that I can actually receive mail and not have to wait until zone stuff...or if the office elders ever feel like coming down this way. 

More about the are that I am serving. One thing is that one of the elders serving here I came out with, one I served in Covington with, another I served in the same zone with for more then half of the time I have been out, and one I went to high school with ( I was a senior when he was a sophmore). My companion Sister Lucherini and I both went to Utah State, have the same major just different emphasis, and are trying super hard to get into the teaching program when we get home...oh and one of the things keeping us from getting in is math. She is from Logan. So ya I cover two wards, both of which loaded us up with candy yesterday. (If that is part of the Easter package, just send it anyway what we don't eat we can pawn it off onto the elders)

 

It has been hard leaving the only area that I have ever had. The first couple days it felt like I was just on exchanges, but about Sunday it sunk in that Covington is not my area anymore, and that the new elders and the new sister better not drop the ball or else they will have a mob of angry missionaries after them ( I am not the only one). It is good though that I am not there anymore because that ward needs to progress and with the things that I know it wouldn't help the ward at all. 

Well y'all I love ya and hope you have an awesome week.
