Transfer

So things are going really well, alot of changes in the last few
weeks. I like change tho so its been really nice. Julian had his
confirmation in church last Sunday. Bishop Sapiga gave him the
blessing. The ward has done a wonderful job at fellowshipping Julian.

This week my testimony of missionary work has really been growing
alot. I've seen alot of miracles this week! I'm really grateful for
our Father in Heaven and his love for me. I have been able to feel the
peace and comfort that comes from the Holy Ghost so much in these past
few weeks. I love missionary work and seeing the changes that people
make in their lives as they grow closer to the Savior.

So anyways it looks like I'm in a new area. Transfers happened
yesterday. It was really weird driving away from Hayward. As I was
driving away, it didn't really dawn on me that my work as a missionary
was done in that area. I had been there for over 7 months! as I got on
the free way it kinda hit me. I mentioned it to the others in the car
as we were driving "woh I just realized i'm leaving Hayward!" my
companion said "yup you're driving away right now." I felt good about it,
I heard the missionary that is replacing me is really good. I left the
area in really good shape! there were a few baptismal dates set up and
a good number of investigators. I knew I had worked hard and that the
missionary work would continue after I left.

A new chapter in my missionary work begins, I'm now serving in the
Martinez ward on the north eastern side of the mission, its about
45-60min drive from my last area, its alot different! I really like it
alot. I could almost live in this area.... maybe.. I have a new
companion Elder Sekiguchi from Tokyo Japan. He's AWESOME. he kinda
reminds me of a japanese version of Michael sometimes.. anyways I
really like the area alot. and I am grateful for the opportunity to
serve.

This week will you pray and ask Heavenly Father to give you
opportunities to serve!!??
I know the Lord will bless you as you seek for those opportunities

I miss everyone. The work is going wonderfully. Thank
you for all your prayers--keep praying

Love, Elder Blandon
