A New Transfer

From: David Short
Subject: A New Transfer

Well we got our transfer calls on Friday. I get to stay in the lovely town of Lovell, and Elder Hancock was sent up to billings. It was sad to see Elder Hancock go, but at the same time it is exciting to get moving on new things (like getting a visa). My new companion will be  Elder Huntsman, but he won't be here till Wednesday, so I'm in Powell right now till he gets here. I'm so glad that I didn't get transferred, because I have all this extra stuff for being in the US like my English preach my gospel, and a bunch of warm clothes that I won't need in Brazil.
Elder Hamblin, who has been waiting for his visa a month longer than we, is getting his visa within the next couple weeks, so hopefully mine will be right after that.
The last two p-days have been pretty awesome. Last week we went to the devil's canyon lookout and took a bunch of pictures; we also saw a bunch of bighorn sheep. This week we went hiking in the Shoshone national forest. We climbed up the mountain till we couldn't go any further, took a bunch of awesome pictures, and then slid down to the bottom.
The weather has seemed to stabilize, at least it isn't snowing anymore. All the snow is finally gone and the temperature has been climbing into the fifties. Today was the first day that I didn't need to wear my jacket.
Things have continued to go well in Lovell. A lot of the last couple days was spent letting Elder Hancock say goodbye to a bunch of investigators and some families. I wonder what I'll feel like when I have to leave.
The keyboard on this computer is really frustrating, so I'm getting tired of writing.
Tuesday I was on team ups in Powell with Elder Trujillo. Other than that I'm hard pressed to think of anything noteworthy.
Love,
Elder David Short
