Rococo!

So Tuesday was transfer meeting, and after a great deal of
anticipation and wondering, it was revealed that Sister Walter and I
would be opening the area of Methuen 2.  Methuen, you might know (if
you are from the area), is in Massachusetts.  Oh snap!  So it actually
turns out that I'm living in New Hampshire (approximately a mile from
the Mass border), and our area is about 75% NH and maybe 25% Mass.
Being Methuen Dos, we are sharing the ward with the Methuen 1 elders,
which is a very different experience.  Opening an area is also a new
and stressful (but exciting) experience, as we're trying to build a
teaching pool and get to know the ward without the help of someone
who's been here for a while.  New!  Intense!

But really, it's great down here.  We're smack dab in the middle of
civilization--they have malls here!--so yes, pizza delivery is still
an option.  Everything is very close, we still have a car, and the
ward has been amazingly friendly and welcoming.  It's a whole new
world.

What with learning our way around and me getting sick again, this week
hasn't been the most productive, but we've got a few investigators
that we're really excited about (and we have members willing to go
teaching with us all the time!), so I think we're going to see great
things happen as we get to know the area better and really settle in.

By way of introduction, my new companion is Sister Walter.   She's
been out a little over a year, and she is tall.  Perhaps taller than
me--though these reports are as of yet unconfirmed.

And thus it is!  Have a great week.
