Transfer is almost over. We’re just starting week 5. Only 1 more p-day after today. The work's moving here in Caldwell. Slowly, but it's going up. We’re going to split the area again next transfer. It’s not working too well right now the way it is. We’re working and having dinner in one ward, then having to get to the other side of the stake in 5 minutes to make it to another appointment. The changes should make it easier too. Sundays are a nightmare too. we have church at 11, with meetings before, then church w/ meetings before at 1 at a different building. Covering 2 buildings who have sacrament back to back is difficult. We’ve had to leave sacrament early lots of times to make it to meetings in the other ward. with the split we'll only be covering the 1 building so it'll be more manageable.

It’s been COLD this week. started snowing last Wednesday and it's been cold, rainy, and windy ever since. It was fun in the snow though. It was district meeting and we played in the snow after. We probably got 3-5 inches of snow, more than I have ever seen fall ever before. Luckily President gave us another car in the area till the end of transfers so we've been off the bikes in the bad weather. Woulda been miserable on bikes.

We decided to go to mutual this week. The YW in the ward have a goal of 108 baptisms this year (most of them overlapping each other), so we decided to go and participate in their talent show and expose us to them. It was fun. We did bumblebee bumblebee skit. Everyone loved it and we won 5th place. I love doing that skit. It was different and a little weird not doing it w/ mark, but it worked out good.

What else? Not much has happened this week. We’ve been spending our time contacting people (mostly members) and trying to pick up the work. It’s really frustrating, especially during the days when nobody is home, since we haven’t gotten in too many houses. We’re getting a few referrals, but contact them all is hard when we can’t catch em home.

That’s pretty much everything that happened. Nothing exciting this week. Well, last Monday we got pulled over. Elder Bell was driving 45 in a 35 zone. The cop had another call so he let us off the hook, but that's only the 2nd time I’ve been in a car getting pulled over (the 1st was driving in a church parking lot when I was 14 learning to drive and someone called us in on suspicious driving)

Well, that's this week. Hope everything's going good. I’m still loving it out here and having a blast

Love,

Elder Blomquist
