Week 40 - Can't believe it has been nine months this week!

Hey mom,

This week has been good. It's crazy to think that it is transfers already. But it is here and I am excited. I think this has been my fastest transfer yet. I will be at 9 months this week. It is sweet.

We had two people at church this week, Ray and Mike. They both really liked it which is great! They only came for sacrament meeting and that kinda stunk. But we will get them to start coming more. 

Elder Holdaway had some weird spots on his arm that he found last night. So we went after sacrament meeting to go get them checked out. They were just bruises. It was pretty funny. He is super embarrassed. That was funny. 

We didn't have quite as many lessons this week. Which kinda stinks. But it is still going well. I am getting better with the ward. But I am not super close with anyone yet. I have to keep telling myself I was in Falls Church Ward for 7.5 months. That's why I knew everyone. It will take me a couple more months before I really know people and am close with them. But it is going well. We have a couple families I know well and that I think like me. 

We do a lot of moving here. It is crazy. I think since I got here we have moved like two people every week. Or at least moved a bunch of their stuff. It is crazy, but I like it. When you are directly serving someone you get to know them better and that's good. And that helps me to really get to know some ward members better. We moved this family on Saturday that are pretty cool. He is in the Air Force and he was stationed in South Africa for a couple years and so he has shot a ton of big African animals and then he loves hunting out here too. So we made a pretty good connection there with that and I really like them. 

Today I wanted to go down to Arlington cemetery. But I don't think it will happen. I think we are just too busy. Which kinda stinks. But maybe for the Fourth of July or next year I can make it down there. Hopefully I am a little closer next year! (Mom note...today was Memorial Day!)

That's good to hear Mark is doing better. He is a champ. He will be back to making us all laugh and bang our heads against the wall before we know it. 

Can't wait to see you. Love you!

Love, Elder Bigelow
Look Mom!  The APs let me drive! (Elder Snow, Elder Holdaway, and Elder Bigelow)
