Transfers on Wednesday

Bishop Huntsman was in as bishop for 4 1/2 years.  It sure didn't feel like that long. They basically took almost all my young men's leaders that I had when I left and put them in the bishopric. That is cool. That will be interesting when I get home. That is cool that the Chiefs won.  That would be cool if they won a super bowl.  I hope Clemson wins too.  I don't want Alabama to win.  

I had taught Ilamilett since I got to this area. She has heard the  discussions for a year, and we were the missionaries that took our time and didn't pressure her like the missionaries had in the past. So she got baptized.  With Nicole, her mom and sister are members but her dad is not.  However Nicole's parents are separated now. I don't know how the dad is. I have never met him, but it's better that they are separated. He didn't sound like a good guy when he would start to drink. 

This week we found a lot of new people and that was really cool. I will know about transfers tomorrow. To be honest, I really don't know if I will get transferred or not. I would like to go to another sector, but take three families from here with me, but we will just have to see. This could be the last time I change sectors. I still don't like the stress of transfers after all this time. The waiting and wondering if you are staying or going is hard.

That is good about the basement getting finished. That will be nice when everyone comes home. Now you guys won't get kicked out in the garage, and I can still have a bed. We are having a lot of activities to try to get the branch going and they are working really well. Almost every day we have something going on in the church. Today we asked some people to let us use their bikes, so we are going to see what we can go find this week. I learned a lot in the scriptures and in the conference talks, so that was really cool. This month we should have a seventy come, but we will have to see. Did you go to the wedding reception of Hazen Dickerson? Did he meet her down at UW or what. You asked about the Cokeville Miracle movie that we watched on New Years. The movie was in English with subtitles in Spanish. It was a good movie. The intestines that I ate weren't that bad. They just needed a little ranch dressing! Ranch dressing makes everything better. Other then that, not much has happened. Have a great week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
