Buchan, Part 1 - November 19

It's more like four or five transfers left. Which I groan at a little bit. I have dreams about coming home when my mission is finished and reuniting with everyone. It all seems so real. And every time I feel so happy and triumphant, like I finally made it. I finally made it. But then it all is just a dream. And I realise I have a long way to go yet. But that's really not me complaining. I am resigned to be here for the remainder of my assignment. Some days I am more resigned than I am other days. I do still miss home. 

Yeah, it was not easy being with Elder Miller; he really didn't respect my opinions. If I really felt strongly about something, I had to tell him it was the Zone Leader's idea or they told him to, and then he would listen. If it was just from me, then no way. We were a bit passive aggressive with each other at times, I'll admit.

My new companion is from Utah, his name is Elder Moffit. My new area is Buchan (like buckin' horse). The town we live in is called Peterhead. Peter-head. Try not to giggle at that like I did. 

I was sad that I didn't get to say bye to Karen before I left, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Elder Miller will look after everyone, even though I am concerned about his new companion...but that's another story. We taught a bunch of lessons in my last week. I hope that nothing dramatic will keep them from doing some good work. 

It looks like I will still be needing to get some shoes. I'll try not to spend too much here. I am serving around a lot of missionaries I like. When travelling over here (I am in the Aberdeen stake now) I had a good long catch-up with my old companion and friend Elder Baklan! I liked that a lot. 

There is a lot of cool things around that we can see on p-days. I'm looking forward to that. 

I love primary presentations! 

So this transfer will extend beyond Christmas, I know that. I will spend Christmas in Buchan. I haven't met any of the members here yet. 

Love you! I hope you have an awesome week, and I love hearing about it.
