Hello little world! So today marks yet another transfer weekend in
NY... :( I always hate leaving areas, because every time I leave I get
the feeling that I just got there! It's true- I'm leaving Canandaigua,
and I'm going to a place called Penfield, near Rochester. It's a
little bit southeast of the city. So every mission is divided into
zones, and each zone has a few different districts, in which each
missionary companionship is assigned to be. There happens to be 6
zones in this mission, and after I get to my new area, I will have
been in 5 different areas, and 5 different zones! It's pretty unheard
of to jump around so much, so I've been pretty lucky.
Penfield is a really nice area, kind of like Overland Park. It's
near Pittsford, which is where the biggest, baddest Wegmans grocery
store/grocery monopoly is located, so I'm a little intimidated about
the affluence in the area, but I'm excited at the same time. I'm now
what's called

a zone leader, which just means you go on exchanges
with some people in your zone, and you give trainings a few times
every month or so. So I'm pretty excited, but bitter sweet as well
because we have just got a ton of stuff going on right now in
canandaigua. The great thing though is that Elder Brindley is training
a new missionary, and Canandaigua is such a great place to be trained.
We have seriously seen so many miracles in just these last few weeks,
and I've been really blessed to be in Canandaigua, even if it is just
for 3 short months.
I've realized how short a mission really is, thinking that this
could be my second to last area I have. Possibly not, but it could be.
You just have to make the most of what you have, and make the most out
of the short amount of time you have. This is especially true if
you're KYLIE And you only have 6MONTHS LEFT!!! Time flies faster than
anyone could ever know.
I would delve into the names and the experiences and lessons of this
week, but I keep a journal and I'll share more when I get home. Here
are some pictures I took on my iPad (somewhat against the
"recommendations") but they give a little justice to the beauty of
Canandaigua, and specifically Naples NY, but not as much as it
deserves.
Love,
Elder J
