Goodbye Clearfield

With a shocking change of events, I'm no longer going to be serving in Clearfield. We got word of transfers today, and turns out they are closing the Weber East zone. Half of the missionaries are joining the Weber West zone, and half joining the Layton zone. I'm heading to be a zone leader in the Layton zone! Change is hard, but it's good. President Call told us he'd be doing a ton of changes his first transfer, and boy he wasn't wrong. I'm excited to still be a zone leader, but I'm so sad to be leaving Clearfield. I've only been here 8 weeks, but they've been some of the best weeks of my mission! I'll never forget those that I was able to teach and baptize here. On to new things! 

My new companion will be Elder Payne. He's only been a zone leader 3 weeks, and so we are basically both new to the area! Basically a white wash lol. It'll be fun though, Elder Payne is a stud. Elder Fuller will also still be a zone leader, but he's going to the bountiful zone! He's excited. As for our current area, it's no longer a zone leader area, and now it's getting 2 new missionaries. We will try to show them the ropes and who we are working with, but they'll just have to begin with a fresh start! 

Truman is still being baptized on the 28th. Elder Fuller and I will definitely come back, so stay tuned! These new transfers completely change what I was going to email about, but now that this is the only thing on my mind, that's what you all get to hear about. With closing an entire zone, that puts a lot of missionaries in the new zones. President call also combined a ton of districts, so districts and zones will be huge! 

Often, when we face many changes in the mission field, and with our areas, companions, mission president, mission name, and everything else, we forget that we are still missionaries for Jesus Christ. Although I'm stressed out of my mind to leave my area already, it's the same work, the work of salvation. I will love and serve the people the same there as I did here, or anywhere else. I'm excited to bring the people of Layton closer to Christ! 

Another highlight this week, last night we saw Nik Day at a musical fireside, and brought Kendon. Check out the pic with him! If you don't know who he is, he sings a lot of the EFY music for the church. Anyway, love you all and I'll update you more next week!
