This week was very interesting! We had transfers and I got transferred! We ended our time in the Appomattox A area with a bang. We had a lot of great lessons, and made sure to organize everything for the new elders when they came in. Then we had transfer meeting on Wednesday, and it was announced that Elder Weir and I will be reopening Buckingham! This area has been closed for over a year and a half, so all of the teaching records are pretty old.
We met the Branch President our first night in the area, and discussed some things with him. President Knight is awesome! He is a rancher, and has a really good heart. He was very excited to have missionaries again. We met our Branch Mission Leader, Brother Krebs, the next day, and discussed the area over lunch at Pinos, a nice Italian restaurant. We also met some other members before Sunday, and we already have some referrals from the members! The people here are awesome, and very excited to work with missionaries again!
We will likely be doing a lot of dropping and phone tracting as we try to contact all the old investigators, but here we go! This area is pretty large geographically, and very rural, so everyone lives pretty far apart, but it has tons of potential! We are on the western edge of our mission, and we can see the Blue Ridge mountains in West Virginia. It is so nice to see mountains again! Keep up the good work wherever you are, and enjoy it!
