5-3-10 Back in Alekseevka!

This was an awesome week, and this is going to be an amazing transfer. Me and Elder Schoen get along great and are really ready to work. We have a lot of good investigators to work with, which always makes a missionary happier than anything else. These Elders in Center just found 2 new investigators that live in our area who are supposed to be awesome. After church they put both of them on date for the 22nd, and we're going to meet with them this week. That's always the best thing ever, when Elders call and tell you that they have 2 awesome investigators for you. This is the first time in my mission that I've been on the receiving end of passing investigators. I have been on the passing end many times, but being on that end is way less fun. We have some really cool investigators that we are starting to work with, I'm so excited for this transfer. It's going to be pure missionary work in its truest form, all day, every day. Oh yeah, I am still in the Alekseevka branch, but there are 2 areas in the branch. The first 2 times, I served in the North area, now I am serving in the South area. Both are great areas, and the members freaked out when they saw me at church again on Sunday, ha, it was so cool. This guy, Harold, went crazy, it was hilarious. They can't believe that an elder is serving in their branch a 3rd time, it's unheard of. But Elder Lamarr worked that out, because he wanted Schoen to have a good comp and he knows how much I love this branch.
It will be so cool for you to meet all my new family members here and in XTZ. I wanted to leave Harkov to see all my friends, but now that they'll all be gone, I never want to leave. I want to finish my mission here and in XTZ. Our district is way cool though, Elder Wadsworth (Hardest name for Ukranians to say, they don't have w's or th's in Russian, it's hilarious), and Elder Kofoed. They are both way cool and we are going to tear it up this transfer. We also got a lot of good athletes back in Harkov this transfer so P-day sports are going to be great. Life is not good in Alekseevka, life is great. I'm so excited for this transfer, we're going to love everyday of it and we're going to change lives. We're working hard at making the our goals according to the Lord's will and not ours. And just trying to submit our will to his in all the aspects of our work. any advice?
