This has been an amazing first couple weeks serving my mission. Although we haven't had everything figured, I have still had amazing opportunities to serve and spiritual experiences that I would love to share with all of you.

Elder Radovanovic and I were out street-contacting, and we decided to split and go on opposite sides of the road because we could still see each other, and it would be more effective to do it that way.

I thought I would answer your questions...lol. I am a senior companion and the reason I got transferred so soon is because president Scruggs needed me to be with Elder Radovanovic. President Scruggs leaves in 2 weeks. That lady doesn’t live in the Tamworth area anymore but I will keep trying to find out more info.
Love you guys,
