(Personal note removed)...

On to other business, I wrote a letter but didn't get to send it until Tuesday, so I don't know if you've received it yet. In case you haven't and also if you would forward this to other people, I will include a brief overview. I am in Branch 53 District E, we have two sets of Elders and two sets of Sisters (Initially I was in a trio, but we switched around with the other new district in our branch (District C) which also had a trio of sisters.) Elder Jensen (from WV currently, but his family is military, so they've moved a lot/heading to Edinburgh, Scotland (he's here waiting on his visa)) is our District Leader and his companion is Elder Perisich (from OR heading to SLC South;) then there's Elder Hardy (from LA going to SLC South) and Elder Lotz (from VA going to SLC South;) the sisters are Sister Young (from CA (near Bakersfield) also going to SLC South) and her new companion Sister Sheffield (from Logan going to Dublin, Ireland(another visa waiter)) and last, but not least, my companion Sister Rummler(from WI, also heading to Las Vegas West.) Our teachers are Brother Phipps and Brother Vallett, they're super fun and really great at giving us what we need and throwing us right into teaching opportunities. A note to the Suhakas: in the other new district is one Elder Marler from Damascus, MD who can't believe the odds that I'm Sylvia's niece; he's also headed to LV west, what are the odds! I'm low on time so I may write another letter, but be sure to send this to the fam inclusing D&C, so I don't have to repeat it all again.
