Hey family! It’s good as always to hear from you!

Stephen breaking pews huh...sounds about right! haha jk. Speaking of Stephen, if he doesn't go on a mission can I get his rifle? :) haha

So I am sure you are all curious if I got transferred or not! Well I did! hah. It’s a nice area. This is the zone that has the pentagon and you can see the George Washington Memorial across the river. I'll try to get a pic for ya'll! Also here is an intersection called "7-corners" It’s crazy… there are seven different roads that go through it! The roads here are super crazy haha. Elder Frazier, who I believe dad met his dad, just got called to be the zone leader here so that’s funny. I must admit that saying goodbye to Springlake was hard ha. Some people/families actually cried saying bye to me. It touched my heart and I was extremly grateful to God for blessing me with strong relaciones there. I also got a little teary-eyed saying bye to Erick! He cried a lot... ha it was powerful experience for me though.

My new comp is Elder Wilson from California. He is 26 and an opera singer. haha. I was honestly intimidated of him haha. But I just try to think of him as an average joe. That’s actually one thing that has helped me a lot with other people, especially intimidating leaders, I hope that’s an ok thing to do! haha, i just try to think of them as a normal person. It seems to help me! but he's a good guy and so far we get a long good! haha.

So my second day here we had a sweet lesson with this cool cat named Noe. It was a really good lesson and we set him on date and he accepted. Afterwards we were talking, mi comp y yo, and we both thought he looked way familiar and we've seen him before. Not sure if that means anything but it was weird! haha

So the Brethren emailed (I think all mission presidents) and we can now email anyone. So if you know of anyone from home or the ward who wants an easier way to write me I can email back! So I'm pumped to email Elder Moodie!!!! haha. Pretty cool right! We just need special permission to email girls who live in the mission (recent converts, old friends etc etc)

So the new apartment where I live is pretty crazy hahah. It’s not bad though. The joker below us I guess sells drugs? And then there is a witch who live in the apartment next to ours hahah. Hopefully I don't get turned into a toad this transfer ;) haha. no gym either....so I've been getting creative with the deck we have, I can do pull-ups, dips etc etc. It works!

Also I was wondering maybe if you could send me an electronic Spanish translator, or maybe I could buy one? Maybe an early birthday present? I would appreciate it a lot! hahah.

Lately I've been a tad sick. I'll be fine during the day but at nights it gets worse haha. Last night I was coughing a ton! Not sure what’s the dealio.. but I don't feel sick which is the weird thing. Just a slight cough.

So ya'll wanna come out here to pick me up huh? If that’s what you guys wanna do that’s ok with me then. It would have been cool to come off the plane and see you, but if ya'll wanna a tour I'll give you a tour! haha. Let them eat cake!!! hahaha.

Any news on Jay? or Zack's address? or whats the dealio with Zach D. not writing me! hahah jk. Elder Fitzpatrick wrote me! That was cool. He already has a girlfriend haha he’s pumped haha. He said he'll probably go to slcc for a little bit. I told him I enjoyed my few weeks there haha. So that was cool. Well I can’t think of anything or anything else...hmmmm. Well with this new email rule change I have more than an hour to use so I'll be thinking of more things haha! Well I sure love ya'll and miss ya'll a ton!!!!

con amor,

Elder Andrew Lifferth
