Transfers

The mission family!

Hey Everyone!

So this was a really long and weird week. I got transferred, so the beginning of the week was mostly filled with goodbyes. That was so hard for me. I've grown to love Claresholm so much, and leaving all of the people there broke my heart. I took a slew of pictures this week (close to 100 I think), so we'll see how many I actually get to send.

On Wednesday we drove up to Calgary to pick up Elder Ajeman's new companion. All three of us got to stay the night in Claresholm. We got to eat my last supper with the Hamons, then we went caroling with some families from the ward! It was a fun time!

Thursday morning we had breakfast with our ward mission leaders family, then went and said some more goodbyes. We drove down to Lethbridge for transfers where I got to see my main man Elder Todd, said goodbye to my boy Ajeman, and then all of us missionaries going north hopped in a van and started the long trip to Calgary. We had to drive through Claresholm on our way up which was just awful, talk about salt in the wound. 

So my new companion is Elder Coe, and I'm serving the the Sunridge ward in North East Calgary. I'm in the suburbs, and cover a few neighborhoods. It's definitely a big change from Claresholm and all of the small farming communities I've been around for the past 6 months. Everything is a lot faster paced and busy. And there's so many people here it's weird. I've gotten to meet some of the people that we're working with already, they're awesome. We don't have any investigators right now, but there are a lot of less actives that we're working with. The ward is really nice, and gave us two huge laundry baskets full of food on Sunday. I probably won't need to buy groceries this whole transfer haha. 

Changing areas is really hard, but I know that I'll grow to love this place and the people here.

For my spiritual though this week, I'm going to steal a quote that our President sent out today.

Elder Christofferson recently said ‘I think it’s appropriate this time of the year to just think about that baby in the manger.  Don’t be too overwhelmed or occupied with what is to come; just think about that little baby.  Take a quiet, peaceful moment to ponder the beginning of His life--the culmination of heavenly prophecy but the early beginning for Him.  Take time to relax, be at peace, and see this little child in your mind.  Do not be too concerned or overwhelmed with what is coming in His life or yours.   Instead, take a peaceful moment to contemplate perhaps the most serene moment in the history of the world—when all of heaven rejoiced with the message “Glory to God in the highest, and of earth peace, good will toward men”.’

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful week as we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!

Love,

Elder Moffitt
