Bangor, Part 16 - June 4

Transfers happened this monday...but not for me! I'm staying right in Bangor. Elder Baklan, on the other hand, is moving to Pollock (in Scotland). I am pretty happy to be staying. This will now be my longest area. And it's really growing on me too. It may just overtake Dundalk as my favourite area. My new companion is Elder Mueller. I haven't met him yet; I'm waiting in Belfast for him to arrive, since he's coming from Motherwell (also in Scotland). I know that he's been on his mission for over 1.5 years, he's from somewhere in the US, and he will be the Bangor district leader. That's pretty much it. 

Helen is doing really good. We are still inviting her to keep commitments whenever we teach her. I'm excited to go over the commandments with her; we'll be able to address a lot of her questions. On Thursday, we had a barbecue with her at the bishop's house. As promised, I made a pan of nanaimo bars. And as promised, she made us bananas wrapped in bacon. They taste as good as they sound---no really, they're pretty good. I'll send some pictures (probably later today, when Elder Mueller gets the chance to email). 

I had a feeling that the hat wouldn't be your size, let alone your style. But I also figured that you might either just have it as a keep-sake, or you could let someone else have it if you like. Just at least take a picture with it on. Tea cakes are very good, and I think Jaffa cakes are one of me favourite things. Elder Price was straight addicted to those caramel wafer things. Oh man, Elder Price. Whenever I see him we have lots of fun, even if it's just reminiscing about good old times in Derry. 

Um, to be honest, nothing has happened yet with Steve (that's the guy who we ran into). He keeps setting up times and places to meet, and then just doesn't show up. That's not unusual per say---in fact it kind of happens a lot, you know how it goes---but I did have high hopes for Steve. 

Anyways, looks like I don't have a lot of time today. At least not yet. Maybe I'll be able to send some more stuff when Elder Mueller gets here. We'll see. But know that I love yous. I've been testifying a lot about the Book of Mormon. It's my favourite thing to testify of. It's the holiest book that I've ever been able to hold. Me and Elder Baklan were making an ABC list of titles for the savior. My favourites are usually Master, and King, and Lord.

Bye for now!
