Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Hi Family!

Well, the Transfer Van was rollin', rollin', rollin' this week. We spent most of our time driving all over the state. Transfers only left four companionships (including ours) unaffected, so we transferred everybody and their dog. It meant we had to drive the minivan and the transfer van and a car or two along most of the route in order to accommodate everyone. Not to mention the mess of figuring out where to keep the trainers for a couple days until they picked up their new missionaries. We survived, though, and got everyone where they needed to be (although some of them left their stuff here and there).

Taking the departing missionaries to the airport was strange yet again. I'm running out of companions in the mission field. I lost Elder Aaron Smith this time. I get a little hiatus until July when Elder Morales goes home, though. The strangest part is having Sister Jones constantly remind us that we're not very far from doing the same thing - she seems to think it's funny to have us tell her what a long time 5 months is and how she doesn't even need to start thinking about it yet.

Our investigators are all doing well. Lindsey, Levi, and Charles are still on track for baptism next month and they're excited for General Conference this weekend! We weren't able to meet with Gulam (the man with an Islamic upbringing) this week because he was sick, but we did see him briefly and give him a Swahili copy of the Book of Mormon. He is definitely taking learning about the church very seriously.

Not much else to report.

I love you all. Have a great week!

Elder Joseph Cloward
