It has been a good week. We played ultimate Frisbee Monday with the YSA ward. We also moved into our new apartment this week. Lots of stairs and a sketchy elevator. We also helped people move in the ward. We worked out in our apartment gym. So, that was fun. We are the highest baptizing area in the mission since Elder Stoddard and I opened up a couple of months ago.
One of the members brought a friend from India to church. He was a great guy. It was fun to meet him. We had lesson with Erin this week and she got pizza for us. That was awesome. The senior couple also made us breakfast today because.... I'm getting transferred! Can't believe it. I will really miss Cleveland. My mom asked me the top 5 things that I would miss about Cleveland. Here they are...
1- Culture/ Museums
2- Nice People ( I haven't met any rude or mean people in Cleveland)
3- YSA Branch
4- The Weather! It rains sometimes but it is not hot! It was 68 degrees today.
5- Crazy Encounters with people.
So, I am being transferred to Youngstown, Ohio. My new companion is Elder Madsen. We were transfers back in London (my first area). So, it has been almost two years and we are companions again. And Zone Leaders!! That is going to be fun. Lots of work and exchanges. It will keep me busy my last three months. The mission president said.. "You have done some great work in Cleveland, Elder, but the Lord needs you to go to Youngstown." I am excited for the changes, but sad to leave the people her. They are amazing. Youngstown should be a fun adventure.
Have a good week

(When I was talking to Sayre they were eating Taco Bell. It was interesting I heard a young man come up to them and start up a conversation. He was telling them about his microphone business. He could come work at the church functions or do whatever their business needs with sound systems. It was interesting. The elders were so nice to him. He then told them about his brother dying two days ago and how heartbroken he was. They talked to him and were so kind. He invited them to his brother's funeral and to be friends on facebook. They all accepted and were so kind to this young man and plan on attending the funeral with him. It reminded me of how different these missionaries are to many young men their age. They are away from home with all new people and surroundings, they they are so kind and loving they are to everyone around them. That is why they are there to serve the people of Cleveland, and I saw that today. I was so impressed.)
