Service, proselyting and transfer

Our faucet got fixed!!! That was really exciting to wash dishes by hand and not having to use gallon jugs as the water source haha.  Then we went over to Karyn's new place to paint...we did take a slight wrong turn...but the map was incorrect.

We got there, started taping stuff, then we started priming stuff, and it was a bit hard, but went well. Then painted some other stuff, Rodney a co-worker of hers was there. She also bought tons, and tons of food, for breakfast and snacks...it was pretty unique. Cool though, after working or awhile painting the trim(that is what we did and the primer, Rodney did the Sea-Salt wall) and then during lunch we had pizza delivered. It was really good. Then we got back to work, painted more stuff, finished.

We got home, ate the pizza she gave us. Got ready, and putting on proselyting clothes...well it felt pretty good. Definitely felt right, that service is good, but our purpose is to teach Repentance and Baptize Converts.  So that is what we went and did. First we tried to give the Hoskins family a copy of The Family: A Proclamation to the World, but nobody answered. So we went to the Stony Point apartments....and walked around, and wow it was quite, quite cold....especially for Elder Grimaud. We were able to knock on some doors...that was really the only way we talked to people...(no one wanted to walk around in the cold). We did meet Shamika...who we will hopefully see later.

Came home, had a good language study, called Manchester about district meeting we missed, heard about PMG Jeopardy, had conference calls, had a good time with Elder Grimaud, and went to bed.

Side note, Saturday was transfer calls...so arooound 2:00 I started getting a little nervous that I would get a call. Because I wanted to stay one more transfer. Then during dinner...well basically immediately following...I felt the phone vibrate twice, then saw ">Elder Snow"...and well...knew it was the end.

He called, spoke in Chinese which was cool...and told me I was being transferred....and Elder Grimaud would be staying. So that was sad....but I guess part of the calling. So that was sad to say farewell to the Vargesons...but we planned on coming over again to actually say goodbye.
