It finally came, and not too soon, either. I will be leaving my beloved area of Euskirchen in the Bonn ward and will be transfered all the way over to.... the only other City in my district. What? That was the last Thing I would have guessed. Absolute dead last. I will be Training someone in his second transfer, Elder Brande. I was on a split with him just last week! Yes, the Lord has a sense of humor. I'll be going to Aachen, which is actually SUPER cool because: 1. It is Close by, 2. I have been there tons already on splits, 3. I will get to go on splits in Bonn!!!, 4. Parts of the area are in another Country, 5. It is a City of students studying at the University, and 6. The apartment's Location is primely located right across the street from a delicious ice cream shop. Ahhh yeah.

Cool Thing, Cory Goates (who is serving in the Mission to the left of me) is in a border-city area as well, and he crosses into Germany a bit. Not in the area where I am, but we are both Kind of in the same boat! I find it incredibly cool. Go Elder Goates!

We have an incredibly prepared investigator who will be baptized on July 5th. I am so happy for her! The cool Thing is, she moved from Aachen to the Euskirchen area, and since I will not be so far away, I might be able to bring someone to her baptism and see it myself. That would be very Special. That's yet another plus to being so Close to my ward Family in Bonn.

I know that what we do here helps People. I know that when People Change to fit God's will, because People can Change, that they become happier and life is far better although it requires sacrificing our Habits/desires/friends, whatever. Change is so beautiful! I love being a part of a happy Change. I am trying to Change myself every day to become better for the People I am supposed to serve.

Oh, and letters in the Mission get to me quite slowly lately and I have been really bad at writing... incase anyone ever gets mad/disappointed about that. You shouldn't do that. Just... be Patient!!

Love, Elder Jack
