I am so sorry that I have been so bad at communicating with you guys. It doesnt really feel like I've had an actual p-day for about 3 weeks now. Im really sorry that you haven't heard from me.
I'm doing well though!! I've got lots of pictures to share that I will try to include in the email this week. If i end up getting to that. Being a District Leader, AND a trainer has been hard and made my life very busy. I haven't really had too much time to focus on myself so thus yall kinda suffered the consequences of that a little bit. Admittedly I probably could have been better at making an effort to talk to yall on mondays. Sorry I'm crumby like that sometimes.
This week is transfer week and I found out last night that the Lord wants me to serve as a Zone Leader now. A
ZL is basically the same thing as a District Leader except it covers a wider area and is associated with more missionaries. The responsibilities are pretty much the same though. Altogether It's probably just as time consuming. Except as a ZL I only have to plan a meeting every month instead of every week. AND there will be 2 of us to do it instead of just me by my self.
I dont know what area I will be transferred into but the open spots for ZL's right now are in Downtown New Orleans (inner city type deal) and back in Alexandria. I would be thrilled to be in EITHER area. I love the City. I also would love to go back to Alexandria though. I miss the people there. We'll see what happens tomorrow. It's not really something that I'm super on edge about though.
Leaving Elder Regan will be Odd. He is a crazy guy. But training him has actually brought me really close to him and I really love the guy now. It has been a REALLY up and down transfer for us. But we are ending on a good note. Everything is good. I'll miss him. and he has already expressed over and over and over and over that he will miss me too. Serving as companions with Elder Regan is what I imagined it would be like to serve a mission with Ivie. He is EXTREMELY Extraverted and happy go lucky and chatty. So chatty. You really have no idea. Sometimes I dont even know what he's talking about. I'm just sitting there passively agreeing to everything.
I love you all so much. I am very happy that you guys started a new tradition and that it involves the temple. That is SO cool. I love the temple. I think we'll be able to go back to it this upcoming month for another visit actually. We'll see what happens. I wish I had more time to tell and share all the little adventures and things that have happened for us in the past 4.5 months. Maybe my pictures will help. I wish I had more time to write to yall. I'll fill everything in when Christmas Finally roles around and we can skype again.
Love to all.
Here's a really good scripture that I read recently

- Mosiah 3:55 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
